Just Stuff

It's been a while since I've experienced the kind of fatigue that I did yesterday. Since I got on the new meds last August, I've been feeling back to my old self again. I think Nettl and I pinpointed this episode to a bout of fibromyalgia that hit me over the weekend, but last night she massaged the little nodules right out of me and I felt instantly better.

Thanks for being so nice to our cat during my day in bed, by the way. Don't mind her selfishness though. I'm giving the orange tabby food because he's old, toothless, and can hardly walk. He lives in the dog house in the back yard, so I cleaned it out and put an old rug in there for him. Our cat will just have to deal.

Despite all efforts to avoid it, I've gotten addicted to Sudoku, I'm afraid. Numbers, you know. Numbers, order, problem solving... I admit it, I'm a geek. Since my laptop broke down (I'm expecting it to return home to me any day now), and we still don't have cable, I have spent my evenings with crosswords and other word puzzles. In the book I got last weekend there was a page of Sudoku puzzles and I got hooked really fast. Now I want a book with nothing else in it. Hopeless, really.

Wow! It got up to 80°F yesterday. It was nice having the windows open, although it was pretty windy. I hope today is a carbon copy! Speaking of today, I'm finally going to bed.

Hail, fellow Sudoku-ite!

In the past we weren't sure if your fatigue could be attributed to the Hashimoto's or the fibromyalgia. Now that the Hashimoto's is under control, whenever you have bouts of fatigue, we should be able to pinpoint it to fibromyalgia, especially if it's accompanied by shoulder pain.

Do hope you are feeling better soon. I really was happy to see the new chapter of your book posted. I am really enjoying reading it. You have put such a wonderful personal spin to Mozart and let me see the human side of him instead of just the great man I'd read about in history. It's great Steph, thank you and look forward to the next chapter. Jeanne

Steph said...

Thanks Jeanne. Revealing Mozart, the man and fellow human being, was precisely what I want to do. Too many people worship him as a Kristkindl, a freak of nature, or a magical being. I want people to get to know him as "the next-door neighbor", so to speak.

Glad you're enjoying it. Another chapter soon!

isnt suduoko addictive? Hope you feel better soon.

Steph said...

Highly addictive. Hey, I'm an old hippie: "Sex, Drugs, and Sudoku!"

Turns out todays weather was pretty much quite the opposite. Cold, dark, rainy and bleh...

Steph said...

I've enjoyed it. Went to May's, but you weren't there.

Glad you got through it and yeah, Sudoku is addictive. If I get started, I can spend hours doing puzzles.
