Bah Humbug!
Not to be a Scrooge or anything but the holidays are just exhausting, especially with fibromyalgia. Sure I like all of the presents. Money has been tight and probably is for lots of people so I’ve tried to save money for presents and making sure that I’m not overpaying for stuff but it will still be a slim holiday.
I even find shopping online to be exhausting, I wish they just had a Sara store with exactly what I was looking for including www.carinsurancelist.com so it wouldn’t take so much time trying to find the best deal. It just takes too much work, it’s one of the most stressful times all year. I think the best holiday would be just to sleep all Christmas. I vaguely remember writing another bah humbug title before so I probably go through this every year. It’s not that I hate Christmas I just hate how sick it makes me and how long it takes me to get back up on my feet. Any other fibromites out there that feel like Scrooge?

This year MY medical crap (just the stuff we have already paid for) has consumed over 1/3 of our family income. To say the least, money is tight. Generally my husband and I spend between 2 and 3 thousand by the time we get gifts for everyone (family, friends, kids teachers). This year we spent $100 on gifts and just bought for our 2 daughters. This really bummed me out for a while. Now that I have thought more about it though, do my friends and family really need more crap. People have so much and get so many gifts now days, it’s doubtful that anything I could give the people around me would make very much difference in their lives. Those I am close to would much rather me feel better than spend time and energy getting them stuff.
