In pain but still happy

I worked very hard yesterday and I am paying for it today. When I woke up I could barely move! My whole body has seized up in pain. *** sigh *** I have so much to do and I won't be able to do it. This is fibromyalgia,...

Yet,... I woke up in a great mood. I haven't done that in so long I can't even remember how long it's been. I didn't realize just how much stress I was carrying until it was gone. It has made a difference in my whole demeaner. The anger is all gone! When I walked downtown yesterday, I said hello to everyone, even stopping to have conversations with others,... I haven't interacted with other people since last fall. And it felt good to be part of civiliztion once again.

I am back!

However I did get annoyed yesterday for this,... I called a pet place that does euthanasia. I was shocked - shocked! at the prices to put your pet down. They start at $650 and go up to over $1000. It all depends on the 'package' you pick. And here was the kicker,... they need me to have an initial $75 phone call. WTF? I'm not paying that kind of money to have Maggie put down. Even if I had it - I wouldn't pay that. That is downright gouging - playing on peoples feelings when their pets need putting down. Its disgusting. So I put in a call to the mobile vet I used a few months ago. I'm hoping they can do it for a reasonable cost. I will pay up to $500 but after that - your just being taken advantage of. It's already going to break my heart having to lose her,... to gouge me with over inflated prices is just wrong. Fingers crossed the vet can do it. Otherwise,... I have no idea what I will do. This is an unespected expense and I really can't afford it but it has to be done. 



But not even these things are getting me down today. It's cold and grey outside. I am in pain,... yet,... somehow I am smiling,..

I knew all I needed was to get the hell out of Fergus,... and now that I am,... RELIEF all round.

I feel as if my life has just burst open and I am climbing through to the otherside and seeing sunlight,....

Maybe there is a God afterall,...
