Let's start with beauty tonight. . .what a day. . .I'm wasted.

I'm sitting in a restaurant outside of downtown Vancouver - across the water and in the distance ~ can you see it?? Snow-capped and oh, so far away is Mount Baker in Washington State . . .Unbelievable! I loved this spot above all the places I visited while there. What a gorgeous spot Vancouver BC is.

Well down to the business of the day. Whirlwind of activities. My body is the key in all of this though. No effexor for a week fans. . .how am I doing?? Much, much better than yesterday. I could think a thought and walk a walk with no one being the wiser. My ability to form a coherent sentence came and went today. Found myself in several situations teary-eyed and that's never fun for the masses or for me. . . .especially when my mascara runs (I do hate that!).

Had to fix an ugly situation on my ebay sales site that I totally mucked up yesterday due to the 'fog' that is now my friend. A friend I want to say goodbye to quickly. Ended up well. I'm being cryptic you say.

I guess I am. Physically my effexor withdrawal is going better than each previous day. My fibromyalgia is suffering somewhat (as I've stated previously could the effexor been helping the aches of it ~ is the increase in pain an increase that will stay with me??? now I'm 'off' the effexor??) I hope not and believe what I'm going through now will be worthwhile in the long run. I hate cliches. Unfortunately I fall on them for fillers way way too often. Shoot, they just fit.

I'm exhausted as has happened in waves this past week. I am a bit manic at times. And after a manic period of talk, talk, talking I crash. I yearn for a place to lay my head and just rest. This afternoon after my 'doctor's appt' this a.m. that a 'girlie' appointment - not too important what. .. oh come on you really want to know . . .my nails. . . .(and I say the entertainment factor of all this is saving me on soooo many levels. . . they look lovely and I was going to share a shot but alas, this pesky blogger site would not let me insert the image here where I wanted it.

So a day has come and gone. I am going to sign off for now as my brain (oh boy it's not buzz buzz buzzing. . .. ) it's just a tired brain one that is not sending the signals to my fingers to type nearly as efficiently as I usually do.

Let's say for now ~ I'm doing TeRRific. Tess signing off at 10:52 p.m. I need to go finish reading Jeffrey Eugenides ~ Middlesex. Quite a read . . . .(:
