Fibro haze, Autumn days

We finally got some rain yesterday! It took a week of bleak, cloudy weather to finally get a little moisture, so the anticipation was allowed to build for days. Well, that is, if I could move. Weeks like this kick my ____. It's hard to explain the grogginess, weakness and fatigue that hit me before and during a strong weather change. We had a busy weekend, friends over on Saturday, then 3 hours of church Sunday morning, followed by a visit by other friends. Doesn't seem like much, really, but I couldn't get out of bed on Monday. I figured it was because I did too much over the weekend, but there's a strange 'brain fog' that I usually only feel before a storm. I kept looking outside, to a clear blue sky. Hmmm, maybe my barometer isn't working right.

Tuesday we woke up to bleary, cloud covered skies. The whole sky was covered with a high, gray blanket, and my barometer was redeemed. It didn't help the 'walking thru molasses' feeling I had for days, but at least the barometer still works.

My sister Debbie stopped by on Wednesday. She was here to go over some business with David, Jon and Best by Farr. She has a handful right now; Shurell just had elbow surgery and is still in the Valley for physical therapy, so Deb has her two kids, Rachele is still struggling a little with her health issues. Mom drove up on Monday to help out in St Johns, and spend some time with her great-grand kids. Debbie has 4 of her 5 kids living there, with their kids and all the activities they're in. Should be a busy week for all! Debbie only stayed here a brief time, but we had a nice visit.

We are watching my niece Megan's dog Dean. He's a timid, beautiful collie. He has Cara and Sunny to play with, but he gets lonely for Megan and Taylor when he's here. He has the classic symptoms a child have, they love to play and visit, they just want Mom and Dad close by. Sometimes you can't have everything!
