I didn't sleep well last night. Lots and lots of pain. Strange that after I got out of bed at 5:00 a.m., the pain got a lot better. But the fatigue didn't.
I thought about lying on the couch and reading today. But I'm reading Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff, which I expected, according to reviews, to be extremely interesting and entertaining. What I've found it to be so far is extremely boring. In addition, instead of downloading it onto my Kindle, I bought the book because the Kindle edition doesn't include the illustrations. The book's type is so small that it's extremely hard to read for me. So maybe reading, at least reading Cleopatra, isn't the best idea for today. Maybe I can find a movie on tv.
Andy came over last night and we watched "Hereafter." We both had seen it before, but enjoyed the second time around. I had forgot a lot of it. Good movie, btw. I recommend it.
I had planned to go to church this morning and maybe later attend the Leeds Arts Council's performance of "Little Women." My mind wants to do these things, but my body says "Forget it!" Darned old body. I'm just sick and tired of it refusing to cooperate.

Oh, my friend,
It is so annoying when our chronically ill bodies intrude on what we want to do with a resounding NO Way! I hear you and you are not alone in this unwelcome boat. Bummer!
Perhaps, though, you'll feel better and better and can attend "Little Women" when that time comes. Oops! Will folks look askance at you for skipping church, then going to the play? I hear my mother tsking but IMHO, it's perfectly fine if you can do that.
Your flowers are lovely and I hope their beauty will refresh your spirit even if you must stay at home.
I vote you choose a different book to keep you company today!
Big hugs!

Is your humidity up? I'm asking, as mine is and I feel like someone ran over me with a truck! I didn't go to church,either. I need to start packing books, but that may need to wait till the morning. What type of flowers are those? They are really pretty! Hope you find a good movie to watch or a less boring book!
Hugs...

Hello, I have been reading your blog for quite awhile but I tend to not comment only read blogs. I noticed the flower you had yesterday and then the bush of flowers today. The home I moved to last year has those same flowers and I have been wondering what they are. Do you know? Thanks, I enjoy reading here.

Well Susan you accomplish sooo darn much despite the pain, you can take off whatever time u need to lay around....I'm sure the doggies will snuggle down with u!
Does the heat make it worse? U feel better in the Fall/Winter months? Only a few more months then it will cool off...
Take care,
Gael

The flowers are a breath of fresh (COOL) air! As for the uncooperative body, I hear you! Mine has been behaving so badly I want to send it to stand in the corner. But standing HURTS. So does sitting. Even MORE so, attempting to lie down. So I just plod along. Plod, plod, plod. Off & on throughout today, I worked on a doll & watched HGTV, the Food Network, & reruns of L&O SVU. Not terribly productive, but sometimes we HAVE to indulge these naughty pain-filled bodies! LOVE YOU!
