However, I had to do something because it was my birthday. It’s the principle of the thing. So, I drove around town, went to an art museum, ate lobster, shopped. I was exhausted, but I did have fun. So many times I tend to just cancel the special occasions whenever possible because I don’t have the energy for them. I can barely make it through my regular day without adding in extra celebrations. It’s sad that the celebrations are the parts of life that have to be cut when a person is chronically ill. I guess my point is that with fibromyalgia, you even have to work to have fun, but it’s worth it.

They are saying the switch is so they can save energy by shutting down building on Friday. I thought it might be nice, every week will be like a holiday. However, I’m sure it will be a pain because my DMV is already only open like 12 hours a week. Time will tell.

I was thinking how this would effect fibromyalgia if I ever worked for the state. I’d have another day each week to recover & rest, but 11 hour days? Would you rather have a four day work week or a five day work week if you had to work the same hours?

Dear World,

Holidays are for relaxing. Please get a clue.

I just wanted to show actual proof that I’ve gotten my prizes from Live Search Club. It’s always helpful to find reviews before you buy something or before you spend time accruing points on a free game site. I would definitely look at a Fenphedra review before I tried the product.

Anyways, I really love the Live Search Club site because you don’t need any referrals, you don’t have to sign up for offers. You just play games & hopefully they will send you your prizes. I got a roomba from them earlier this year. Just a few weeks ago I received a red 30gb zune, special in ear zune headphones, & a brown leather zune case. The zune case does have a little bit of pink lining on the inside & it doesn’t have a belt clip like the description stated but it was free so I’ll take it.

• I take advantage of the times I feel well to prepare. I put my art supplies all in one place so I won’t have to hunt for them when I actually want to paint.
• If I need something at the store, I go & pick it up so I won’t realize I’m missing it when I actually feel like painting.
• It may not be proper painting technique, but I realize that I will paint a lot more if I sit in a comfortable chair.
• I just bought an easel at a thrift store so I don’t have to hunch over a desk.

There are ways to have hobbies with fibromyalgia. I won’t be painting every day like I used to, but I will still paint.

I know that I said I would try & finish it in thirty days. However, since I’ve been forcing myself to write it has changed the story. My character seems grumpy simply because I don’t want to be writing or I’m not inspired. I don’t want a grumpy character. I want a stunning character. So, I’m not going to force myself. I’m going to write when I love the story & when I’m excited to see where it goes.

Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!’s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.

After reading about the price change several bloggers speculated that Yahoo raised the price of their domains so more people will choose their hosting. Yeah, I really want to host with a company who randomly triples their prices. (That was sarcasm if you couldn’t tell.) There is no excuse for raising the price so high. With the present economy I can still find good deals on shoes or eca stack pills, so why should a domain triple in price?

I had no idea how to change a domain registrar. It was one of those scary things that I try to avoid. It was easier than I thought & I found this guide on how to transfer a domain from yahoo to godaddy very helpful.

I haven’t e-mailed any support questions so I don’t know if they are actually answering their support e-mails now. Hopefully they have stopped accusing everyone who e-mails them of cheating.

They seem to be shipping a lot faster. I don’t know if this is true of every prize, but I got my zune & zune accessories within a month instead of the three month wait I had when I ordered back in December.

Occasionally, I get a shipping confirmation for my prize. They claimed that they always did send these, but it rarely happened before.

They have added several new games which means more points.

You can now order 3 of each hardware item instead of just one.

However, they seem to have a shortage of prizes. All of the bigger items seem to only stay for a few hours & there is really nothing that I want to play for anymore.

What has been your experience with LSC?

However, I notice that after I push myself for awhile, the character I’m writing gets cranky. If I ignore the pain that comes from just sitting in a chair, it comes out in my writing. The story becomes about as exciting as a CAT5e cable, or the tone is just really whiny. I don’t want to write a book like that, so I’m going to have to make notes when the fibromyalgia pain takes over & starts effecting my creativity. Has anyone else noticed this?

I think “Why did I fill this cup of water so full? It’s so heavy now.”

If a genie granted me three wishes at least one of them would be used wishing for help from pharmaceutical companies.

Brushing my hair seems like a major feat for which I should be awarded some kind of prize, like the Noble Peace Prize.

I keep glaring at the F10 button on my laptop hoping I don’t have to push it because it’s all the way at the top of the keyboard.

Yup, it’s definitely a bad day for fibromyalgia.
