Well, there went my tear reserves for the month. What an amazing show ~ give what I could (not much unfortunately ~ ya know what they say 'charity begins at home' and we have so many needy relatives. Son on west coast, bro in need, etc., etc. Won't name names here, but believe me ~ we're sending it out as fast as it comes in.
Had a relatively good day ~ shouldn't have started it watching a video on YouTube of Iz singing somewhere over the rainbow medley ('cause Jason on Idol sang it last night). Wow how times passes ~ he's been gone since 1997. A great loss for Hawaii and so many others that loved him so. . . What a voice. Picked up 2-3 CD's while there in the early 90's. Lucky to have loved his music for sooo long. . . anyway his version of that song always makes me cry. Then cried and cried during Idol tonight.
Buzz, buzz, buzz. Aches and pains . . . Mostly my withdrawal symptoms are under control. My head is buzzing, lots of noise in my noggin. Nice to have the TV or music distraction. Helps keep the noise in my head under control.
I've had a thought today. Last week I went to a jazzercize class. The next day I felt fine (or not more sore and achy that usual). Stopped taking my last dose of effexor that day as a matter of fact. I have been entirely off the effexor for one week tomorrow. Jazzercize yesterday. Pain pain pain ~ unbelievable! My Achilles tendon problem ~ freaked out. And every other place in my body that could hurt today does. So my thought ~ whew! ~ finally is this (sometimes it takes me soooo long to get from place A to place B . . .and this is a - shit can't think of the word I'm digging for in my brain.. . guess, a phenomena of the stopping of the effexor) any freaking way - my thought. wow here goes. The effexor, that I know is prescribed for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes (that is have now in waves non-stop) maybe was helping the pain of the fibromyalgia. . . could it be possible???
Or am I just super achy 'cause I have a name for my ailment? Or what. Hell, I don't know and now I going in circles. My thumb hurts the most. . . most days. Arthritis. Simple pain old awful arthritis. My wonderful, awesome gorgeous and amazing Grace ~ my maternal Grandmother ~ had arthritis in most of the joints in her fingers. I don't know how she took care of so much if my itsy bitsy thumb can 'cause me so much discomfort. . . .my mother had arthritis is one finger - no not her thumb - her pinky on her right had. . .my thumb is the right hand thumb too - and as I am right handed I am having a lot of trouble holding a pen to write. Typing is soooo much nicer and more comfortable - except for the aches in my wrists. What a complainer. . . wha. whaaaa.
I'm done with this complaining post for tonight. It's not so much fun when I list all my ailments. I feel like a whiner, especially after watching all these people in the US & Africa with so so little. . . ,my life is blessed. God bless you all!! Tess signing off. . ..11:16 p.m EST.
