Headache
Originally uploaded by fabbriciuse

Ya ever get that thing where you start out with achy shoulders and then it moves up to a neck that you stretch and crank and rotate but it doesn't work so the ache climbs up to your temples, then turns into a pain and starts throbbing in the deepest innards of your head then makes you nauseated?

Got that as we speak.

The outside of the house is done:

Stucco Walls: Green
Garage Door: Darker Green
Trim: Chocolate Brown
Door: Bright Red
Equals: Mint Chocolate Chip with a Cherry on Top House

The 'computer room' is done:

Slick Dark Green 'accent' wall
Cowboy Painting & Paraphernalia
Dad's Recliner
Gramma & Grampa's Indian Print
Equals: A real 'room' rather than a garbage can.

Sid's garage sale headboard is almost done:

Puttied holes & cracks
Sanded sticky-out splinters
White accidental 'primer' layer
Second coat is finished
Equals: Sore knees and wrist & a vow to use spray paint 'next time.'

The house we pick out better look exactly the way we want, cuz I don't want to do this again.

PAIN

i really am coming to hate weekends.

i have the energy (and caffeine pills and dr. pepper) to get thru my 4 9-hour days at school - where i'm mostly on my feet - then on friday nights i just come home and die.

because of my fibromyalgia, i can barely move on saturdays, so i spend most of the day in bed and live on pain medication.

then on sundays i'm thrashed.

mondays seem to be okay, but then it starts all over on Tuesday at 7am.

and every single morning of the week, i wake up and wonder, WHY am i doing this?

and every single day at school, i'm glad i am.

it's these dang weekends.

oh well. it's only another year.

OWIE!
