4 Days into the New Job
Son of a gun! It helps when one actually remembers to hit “publish” instead of leaving a post in drafts!
I am out of spoons. I spent the day trying to figure out the system at work and my brain is short circuited.

Take your meds, folks!

Whoops. Both Fen and I had a cup of coffee after a perfectly lovey homemade dinner. And then promptly fell asleep in front of the telly. Both of us. For over an hour. And me with my crocheting in my hands and Spock snoozing away atop my feet.

Take your meds, folks!

I’m in the weeds of a fibromyalgia flare up from hell. It’s likely triggered by the stress of changing jobs this week. Everything hurts.

3 Times Woken by a Zooming And/Or Meowing Cat
Spock, apparently, decided to kick off his birthday week by zooming about the house singing the song of his people at one a.m. And then again at two a.m. Only to be followed up with an encore at five. Maybe I gave him too much catnip?

I had a serious case of the talkies today. I just didn’t stop talking. Mania? Stress? Who knows?? Not me.
Anyway, I’m mid-finishing this baby blanket for The Baby Shower tomorrow. Gotta run!
Take your meds, folks.
