One thing about being human is PAIN. Darn having a body that messes up and breaks down! Since Wednesday, my head, neck and back between my shoulders have hurt. I mean hurt. Smells, light and sounds made it worse, so I thought it was a migraine. It got so bad I couldn't move my eyes to the left or the right~ and this weather is making it worse- the humidity, ugh. Relief came in the form of a lyrica pill this morning- I even got to move around :) THANK YOU.

I even painted it last night, a small watercolor experiment that I might make larger (after this goes away). It really helped to put a face on it, put direction to it and color. The red is the searing pain behind the eyes and the jagged edges are what feels like rose thorns being pulled into my eye sockets. The green at the spinal area is the numb-tingling at the center of the source of pain. It radiates from the muscles at either side, however.

The pain isn't what stays, tho, what makes it so frustrating is missing the things special to this weekend: Saturday's playground build and art stuff, Sunday's painting a sign for the new Moss Point Police Chief for Donna. Not much got done, I'm sorry to say- except computer searches. I found a fibromyalgia site and it really made sense- so many other issues go along with fibromyalgia that I have as well. Thank goodness it goes away for a while.

All I can say is, that if I was supposed to do something for you this weekend- I'M SORRY.
