OMGoodness did it rain yesterday! Flood watches for all the counties around middle TN. We go three inches here and not sure how much over night. It's over cast right now and it rained an hour ago and a lot more wet stuff due in here over the next few hours.
We're were over our yearly rain totals last week by 4 inches and with the rain yesterday and today we'll be close to 37 inches for the year. That's a whole lot of water. We're under flood watches this a.m. Sorry MiMi it's heading east. I do hope it loses a lot of water before it get's to your area.Am going to make this post short as my GS is due here in just a few minutes. What a joy that is for me. I will be taking him over to the church where my BFF is doing our LAST senior's lunch. Yea that!! I know he will be a help and it will so nice to have him with me. He's 12 and just a love. Tomorrow I will have 2 GS's and one GD with me and then Friday 3 GS's and the GD. This will be so wonderful for me.
MiMi, thank you so much for the Vit D link. I just can't say enough good things about D. As for getting all you need via the sun, I think the supplement is the way to go.
Okay, have thins to do before my GS gets here. Have a great day everyone.

As for weather it's over cast and will be raining, like where MiMi is, for the next day or so.
I do so hate having rainy days after such a long, cold and bleak winter. But the rain will move on, it won't be cold so I guess there's a bright, sigh, to it. DH had a very nice Father's Day. Got nice gifts from the girls and GC. Had a get together @ DD's house and afterwards they took DH out to a really nice burger 'joint' called Smash Burgers. Sounds bad but the food was really good. GS picked it out so DH went along cause GS picked it. LOL
Also, our DD in Norbert, NC called so the little one, 7, could sing a Happy Father's Day she wrote. Cute. ( Her dad is the Marine Gunnery Sgt. ) All in all a very nice day.
Don't have a thing to do out side the home today. The little ones are due here tomorrow night for a five day stay and everything is ready. I will not be going to NC or SC this weekend as DD really wasn't happy about the road trip with the little ones while she was out of the country. I totally get that. But hate to miss out on beach time.
Instead will have three grandson's here and one grand daughter. Busy, busy time but will be happy to have them. Seems now that visits are relegated to the summer time when the moms and dads want to get away.. that's okay cause I get that also. LOLNot a lot to post about today so will close this here with wishes that everybody has a good day and one that does not include dealing with fibro issues or pain.

It's warm, but very, 90, a 1St for the year, here and the rain has come and gone. Yea that! No rain expected here unitl Thursday so sunshine, wamth and clear skies. My kinda weather.

No real plans for my day. WallyWorld, BELK or KHOLS. Market maybe.. and except for those out of the house things only have indoor things. There is the getting of our airline reservations into LA and back for September tho. These tickets will be the first leg of our yearly vacation to LA and this trip we're going onto Hawaii. The probem this time out is getting the connection flight onto Honolulu, HI for the day after we get into LA. We have to wait until DBIL and SIL get on the phone with us to make sure we get the same flight / airlline over and back. UGH.. always best when sharing the rental car. But we're going to the same resort there.
You know I just posted about a newspaper article about how researcher don't believe, no evendance to prove. fibro pain or issues are caused by weather. UGH. Like MiMI I wonder how large this research sampling was. Surely they didn't talk to those of us who have fibro. If they had, they'd have learned, weather is a MAJOR, MAJOR cause of pain. I know from March to October I am almost firbo isuue free. Come winter, cold temps, no colors and lack of sun I go down hill but fast. Have so much pain I just long for warmth and sunlight. How did anyone in the sampling say cold played a part in the fibro picture? They should asked some of us here. DOESN'T PLAY A PART IN HOW FIBRO EFFECTS US MY FOOT!!!
Okay as I have so little to post about will close this here, let you go to enjoy your day. Have a good one everybody and feel really good today.

Really?
I wonder how many of those doing the research talked to people who have fibro or have fibro themselves, or know someone who has it.View Thread


Most of us here deal with fibro fatigue each day in one form or another. I know for me it's late day in the day. Others are dead tired when they open their eyes in the a.m.
I try to pace my day so that I can still have reserve energy to do late afternoon things. I guess pacing is the key for a lot of us here. Learning after time what time we begin to wind down is what helps us PACE the day. As for housework, my motto for many years has been: do small things with great love.
I set my day's goals and work towards getting them done. If I don't get them done OH WELL, no harm no foul, or so be it. In all things I make sure fibro issues or pain doesn't stop me. I may be slow at getting the day's of things list done, but by the time my head hits the pillow I know that I've done the day MY WAY, NOT fibro's.Can't let 'it' win a second from you. Don't ever feel bad that you didn't do this or that cause when you do fibro wins. If you do the day your way, always, then you've had a good day. Dosen't matter if you fall short of doing all the things you set out to do, fibro doesn't want you to do anything but stay in bed and feel bad. So if you are up, doing, enjoying life your way.. you've had a great day.
Come back and let us know how your day is going on Roll Call.
Have a great day....Gentle hugs, Linda RView Thread

I do hope your day has started off well and that it will be a good one throughout. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nana B. HERES WISHING YOU THE BEST BIRTHDAY YOU'VE EVER HAD. ENJOY.
It's sunny here now but are area is under the weather gun, again, for bad weather this afternoon. I had a bi yearly appointment with my tummy doc and canceled because I'm not going to be on the highway when winds and rain hit. NOPE, not me. But for right now it's sunny and warm and I'm enjoying it.
I have only one errand of any importance today and that good because of the rain due in here. Ugh, I just hate that the last of spring has to be water logged!
DD and family came by yesterday and we got the 1929 Model A out of it's barn and took it for quick spin. Our SIL will need to drive it one day so we have a bad up driver for it. Theres only be a few people over the years who have driven it and NO one of um hasn't been me. I really don't care to learn. I once told my dad, the person who owned it, that I'd care never to drive, rice or take of it. So that fell to my DH who loves the old car to death. UGH.
Other than that yesterday was one of setting rooms for the little ones, I have a room for the girls and boys but DD has always kept them together in the room over ours down stairs. Makes for many noisey nights with DH going up and down telling the little ones to GO TO SLEEP. This year, thank goodness, she's allowing GS to sleep in the boys room. Yea that! We have the drawers set with clothes, toys about and CD's for the VCR's in the rooms. So pretty much set to go. And speaking of that DD is letting me travel with them to Akins, SC that weekend for DD's rowing competition. Yea that too.

cece, am fb messaging you once I close this post. Wrote you a note here yesterday that the site couldn't seem to post. UGH.
Hope all is well with everyone. Will close this here with well wishes for all.. Have a wonderful day..

I hope your today is going well and that it will a very nice day for health and weather wise.

Short post this a.m. DD and family are heading down from Nashville to set up the rooms for the little ones visit with us. I am pretty much ready for them but need the ' extra ' feels like home touches only their mom can make.

Got an invite from my oldest DD to go to Akins, SC. She's on a rowing team up in Nashville and they have competition races with other states and their having one, Saturday the 22ND in Atkins, SC. But it's for the same weekend DD and hubby are heading to Cancun, MX Am considering going as it's a one time thing for me... the kids will like the time at the ' pond' and will get to stop @ IKEAS, in Atlanta, for some over due shopping.
A win - win for me.. but DD isn't to happy about it.. wanted the little ones in one place.. my house. Not on the road. I'd like to go, think it would be great, but may get stuck here instead. 
Cory your day sounded so nice. Glad weather wise it's getting better.
MiMi, sorry about the rain there, again. We had a good yesterday as well and today go up to thunder, lightening and rain.
It's dry now, but damp as can be. Wanted to have DH bring the 1929 Model A out of the barn so SIL could learn to drive. Doesn't look as if that will happen with a very damp back yard. Okay, will let you go here. Have a wonderful day everyone. I hope it's one that doesn't find you dealing with fibro issues or pain.
Gentle hugs, Linda R.View Thread

I do wish each of you a sunny day with warm temps and cool breezes. I also hope, for each of us, that this day lets you be fibro issue and pain free. It's sunny here and getting warm after a day of pouring rain at times and over cast sky all day.
It was really muggy last night tho even after the rain stopped. I went out to get my nails done, yea that, and the sky was clear and so late summer ish. Today no rain, no mugginess, but tomorrow a good chance of rain again. As for tomorrow I had wanted to do out of door things when the family comes to visit. So I do hope the rain will hold off until after she leaves with the GCDD is bring the toys, clothes, etc. for the little one's visit with me the week of the 20TH. DH and I have arranged the back yard so that the littlest one, 5, can't get into anything or get hurt while out there playing. I'd be so worried if I thought he might get hurt and his mother and dad were out of the country. So an ouch of prevention as it were.
Am so happy too that I will also have my 2 older grandsons here at the same time, which will make the house loud with happy children. A wonderful sound to my ears anytime.

Nothing planned for my day today as I got what I needed last night while out. Perhaps a trip to SALLY's for a nail file and see what's on their shelves. ( This is a new store for the city I live in. I usually travel up a city or two to shop there. ) As you can see a very, very low keyed day for me. Which is fine with me as well.
I started on the mega fish oil yesterday and am none the worse for ware. I had to laugh when DH said to me " So this fish oil will help your cholesterol then and what about your
memory?" Hmmm, help with Fibro Fog; now there's a thought. I'll keep you posted, if I remember to that is. LOL
MiMi, sorry about the rain. It's moved out from here now and looking to be a good day over all sunshine wise. Wanted to ask you: how did court go yesterday for your DD? I thought she had a court date and I hope it went as it should, for her. I do wish they'd trip that ex cop up and turn the tables on him. Really doesn't sound fair that she's going thru this and it's all lies and trumped up things. I keep her, her DH and you and the family In prayers.
Cece, I just FOTFL when I read your post. I have had so many days of " Oh c#$% you mean it's only ?? " One day to long on one side of the week than I could handle I guess. I hope you are able to recoup and recover this weekend.
Cory, hope the weather has become spring like now. I think about you when my cousin posts on fb. His pictures are of snow and dreary skies.. this late into the Alaskan spring-summer is way off.
Lou, great to see a post from you. So glad your job(s) are going well and as for the volunteer one, hey, it's good you still have time to offer your help. They should be aware of that and Thankful.
Mary, sorry about the rain.. We had some, some real down pours, but nothing that we'd call bad here. Wishing you sunshine soon.
Will close this here. Everyone have a wonderful day/ weekend.
