Domestic Relations Update

Found a very interesting case. Dzina v. Dzina - covered almost every issue imaginable. I recommend reading it to anyone that is going through a divorce. It is from the 8th district court of appeals and is probably available on the Ohio Supreme Court website. I will try to figure out how to link it to my web page.

Having a very productive day, but even though it seems productive, I still feel like there is a mountain of work ahead of me. But that is a good thing, right? Did a half hour of WiiFit this morning. Even though it is not that exertional, it seems about right for me. Also had four ten minute walks. Every step counts. Now I have to figure out dinner. Planning to have ciopino tomorrow, maybe, if I can get to the North Market and pick up some seafood. Last night's garden veggie burgers were a hit with my son, not so much with my husband. It was a different way to start Lent.

Skyped with my parents today, also. That was fun. Overall, it seems like this has been a pretty good day.

Mardi Gras

Well, it's Mardi Gras. Hoping to find a King Cake today. Work is pretty hectic, and yesterday was just plain crazy. Car door latch got stuck so that the door would not close. Thank goodness for the Internet. After getting it fixed, had to run to the school to drop off forgotten things after getting a call from the school. Went to a noon time meeting, then eventually was able to get down to work, just in time to go pick up my son from school. Picked up a rental car to go out of town and as soon as I got home with it, found out that the out of town meeting had just been cancelled! Oh, well. Today, so far, is turning into a more productive day. Took a nice hot bath last night, which really helped with all of the pain I am having right now. Seems like everything aches. I am blaming it on the weather and being less active. Going to try to get into a better routine now. Spring, hopefully, is just around the corner.

Dinner tonight is jambalya, sweet potatoes and whatever else I have the energy to make. Enjoyed pazcki this morning. Tomorrow Lent begins. Then it will be time to be more disciplined about eating (and all those other things that are good for me and my fibro).

Not so daily musings

Well, right away it is clear that this is not necessarily going to be a daily musing. I will have to keep practicing to get better at this.

Went to the opera today with my son and husband. Puccini's Turandot. It was a really delightful afternoon. Especially after being on my feet all day yesterday helping out at a conference. I tried my fibro stretches before going, and made sure that I had all of my medications, but it was still a difficult outing. By 3:00 p.m. I was exhausted beyond belief. I really need to remember to limit myself.

I am going to start up walking after giving it up this past Thursday due to shin splints. Again, have to pace myself and not get overly enthusiastic. Thus is it always with fibro. I do think that writing this blog is helpful, because it makes me check in.

Early to bed, early to rise. Oscars tonight, but I think I will be sound asleep soon. I have a busy week ahead and I am trying to stay on track with so many different projects, especially the ones pertaining to my health. Tomorrow I think I will try to make an appointment with the chiropractor. That really seemed to help last summer and it probably worth doing again. I just have to remember to keep doing the other stuff: yoga, medication, rest and exercise.

What a way to end the week!

After an exhilarating week, when I was able to reconnect with old friends and make new friends, I had one of those classic fibro days on Friday. I knew, from the flush cheeks the night before, that I was going to have a bad day. Little did I realize this morning as I downed my daily dose of prescriptions and supplements, that I would spend the day flat on my back. That's right. Once again I took my evening medicine in the morning. It is a good thing that this only happens to me once or twice a year, and it was actually fortuitous that it would happen today, since I probably needed the rest, what with all the excitement of the week. I quickly made a few phone calls in the morning to rearrange by day, put my cell phone away, and then proceeded to settle onto the couch with Adrian and Natalie. These two mutts were happy to not be crated today, and thoroughly enjoyed snoozing with me on the couch. Woke up just in time to pick up Ben from school, make a fabulous dinner (had to feel like I accomplished something today), and now I am ready to turn in again. Thank goodness it is the weekend.
