No excuses

they say you do not need to give an excuse when you tell someone you can't / won't be doing something.

I have backed out of the Family day at the Village Bookstore. I sent Val an email and told her I was sorry I couldn't participate.

I couldn't envision myself there on Saturday.

 I have many projects and no energy to set up and have a day showing kids how to make note pads out of cereal boxes and scrap paper.

Shredder Art with magazine pages

Checker boards from magazine page weaving and drink bottle lids....

Envelopes we do not use made into little gift bags that they can fold and decorate with crayons and markers...

I also have the mountain of pickle jars that I can make into SCARY Jar O Lanterns...

dammit

BUT I feel relieved that I could make that decision

I have been beating myself up about it for 3 days..

 I have been struggling with the increased pain and fatigue that is off the charts - so tired I can't stay up until 8 pm to watch the new season of Criminal Minds.

My hand hurts.  Bad.

Courtney at the Pain Doc said that I am having an ATTACK.

The Mobid isn't doing anything helpful, and since the Zipsor did, we will change meds to something with the same INGREDIENTS as Zipsor, and see what happens.

Not Zipsor because of the cost (at my request).

Also get an INJECTION in the thumb again.

I pointed out the other two places and she said once we get the main one "done" the other 2 will go away, like last time.

So the END of MAY to the END of September... 3 months

I hope this one lasts from NEXT WEDNESDAY to January 5, because that is when I go back to the Neuro Doc, and I will discuss disability.
