Random Musings

It's cold again today.  Went to the bus stop and did my walk after Christy got on the bus.  Came in the house and gathered up the trash and got it out to the curb as today is trash day.  Listening to the news while I Gather.  I hear that the Postal Service may cut down to five days a week.  They will either cut out Saturdays or Tuesday because there is not as much mail on those days.  The stimulous package passed the House, now on to the Senate!  They never can get it together to pass anything.  Just heard that 588,000 people applied for unemployment last month.  They are laying off everywhere.  It is really scary.  Then you hear about the man that shot his wife and five kids and then killed himself because him and his wife lost their jobs at a hospital.  How can a person come to that?  It baffles me.

My daughter is going on her first sleep over tomorrow.  My husband is having a hard time.  She is his only child and he is very protective.  She's becoming quite independent despite his protictiveness.  I'm happy for her because she is so excited about it.

My Fibromyalgia has been in full gear the past few days.  No matter what I do it hurts.  So I take pain killers to get house work done.  I still have been walking in the morning alittle bit despite the pain.  If you live with pain, how do you deal with it?  I'm taking a class about living with a chronic disease.  They say to keep your mind occupied with something you like when the pain gets bad.  I guess that is true because when i'm on Gather I don't hurt quite so much!

Well I guess that I've rambled enough.  Hope you have a wonderful day.
