WTF Am I Doing?

I know you all are suffering from withdrawal after not having heard from me in DAYS! But there's a couple of reasons. First, and foremost, I've been wrestling with a major ongoing case of drag-ass. What's drag-ass you ask? Surely you jest! That's when your ass is dragging throughout the day and there is no energy for even the simplest things. Its when moving feels as if you have lead weights attached to your limbs and you're running through water. There's also a mental fatigue that usually accompanies it. A brain fog if you will. Imagine if you knew nothing about advanced theoretical physics. I know, this is going to be a stretch for some of you because honestly, EVERYONE knows advanced theoretical physics. But just pretend with me for a minute. What if someone said in a week you needed to take an 82 page exam and get a score of no less than a 97.2% or you would die? You'd study pretty hard. All night and all day. I mean, you can sleep after, right? At the end of a week, with no sleep and an accompanying mental fatigue you would be moving like sludge. That's the drag-ass fatigue of fibro.
Secondly, I've been trying to promote the blog, so that more of the general population can be exposed to the mania that is my daily life. Except, as previously noted, I have no idea what I'm doing. When I first mentioned that, I'm sure you thought I was exaggerating. Nope. And trying to figure it out with a full on brain fog? It really is laugh out loud funny. I read an article. Terms are used that mean nothing to me. I open another window to research the term. Where more terms are used that I don't understand. More windows are opened. More terms are used. More windows. Terms. Windows. Terms. Windows. Agghhh!!! It's a vicious circle. All the while, my stats page shows zero followers. I know its not true. People are signed up for email, they +1 on Google. They run into me and quote lines from my latest post. Still the number shows zero. It messes with my OCD. It taunts me. Relentlessly. Zero.
They even highlight it in blue, those snarky bastards. Most people would think, "Hey 776 pageviews for a blog that's 3 weeks old isn't bad." Well, I think we know I can't claim to be like most people. I am heartened by the fact that my random musings seem to be spreading throughout the world, much like a flesh eating virus.
But let's keep this virus spreading, shall we? We'll need a means of communicating in case the impending zombie apocalypse manifests itself. So sign up for email updates (Don't worry, I wont spam you with my favorite cookie recipes.) Share with your friends. Share with your enemies. Tweet it. Share it on Facebook. And if anybody knows how to get rid of the bleeping blue zero, please leave your comments on this post! Thank you, and good night.

This, too, shall pass. Well, maybe not.

Just over a year ago, my husband took me to New Orleans for a surprise anniversary trip. I had never been and we were only going for the weekend, so I decided that we would need to average about 46.279 tourist stops a day to cram in a small portion of what I wanted to do down there. It was Friday night, so I figured Bourbon Street would be a great place to hang out. Saturday morning I wanted to wake up early and try this charming cafe that sold beignets. We got off the plane, checked into our hotel, and my downward spiral began. I felt like someone had attached a vacuum to me and sucked out all of my energy. Just moving was an almost insurmountable task. To be fair, I work nights, so I assumed I was just a little "off". No big deal. Bourbon Street would still be there tomorrow. We didn't wake up quite as early as I planned, but we still made it for my beignets. Holy moly. Well worth the trip! We managed to do a couple of things here and there, but not nearly as much as I

All the Better to See You With

Yesterday I went for an eye exam at my local Lens Crafters. I now remember one of the reasons why I haven't been in years. We got there early to fill out paperwork. Luckily, we were early enough to hold the seats in the waiting room down for awhile as well. Fast forward to actually meeting with the doctor. I understand not everyone has a keen sense of humor, but this doctor was special. She started by asking what brought me in. I explained that I was having increased difficulty seeing distances as I was driving and I was having problems reading tiny print. She ingratiated herself to me by reminding me that "once you pass the age of 40, your vision starts to age as well." Now, I know this. Everybody knows this. The issue is, I like the idea of seeing. The appointment continued. She did all the typical eye doctor shenanigans, then concluded with the image killer: you could benefit from bifocals. I can wander around all day long without glasses and I haven't bumped into

What's a sit up?

Today, I learned the true definition of love. Not that Romeo and Juliet crap my daughter has recently tried selling us all on. I'm talking hard-core, unconditional love. You know, like the kind a mother has for her child. You may recall I told you my youngest was going to be playing Pop Warner football in the fall? Well starting in August he begins strength and conditioning. In his previous sporting endeavors, he's been more interested in the playing side than the practice and drill sessions. My older son is the opposite; complaining if he doesn't get a balance of play time and practice/coaching time. In an effort to try and make this sport work for him, I've come to realize that he will need to be comfortable with the sheer physicality that will be required for him to get through August. So today, I started training with him. Actually, training may be an overly generous term for our sessions. Having no real idea what his "strength and conditioning" might act
