Weekend Recap

Well, I haven't been very good about this blog so far. I've been so busy! And now, as those of you who have fibro can understand, I'm paying for it. I went to Louisville on Sunday and Monday with my fiancé for a choir event at the university with seven of his students. I wast even an official chaperone and I got overwhelmed with the kids. They were great kids--smart, polite, great singers--but they were so loud and hyped up! On Sunday evening it was alright, because I just excused myself and went up to the hotel room, where I got to watch my Patriots beat the Texans as well as the Golden Globes! By myself. :-)

We stayed up until midnight on Sunday night, and I was a little bit nervous about how Monday would go. But I woke up feeling alright; until we had to check out of the hotel. That's when I realized I was going to have be 'out' all day. First I went to Starbucks, where I did my blog for the day. Then I went to brunch with one of my friends. After that, we went back to her place for a while. She had to be at work at the university in the afternoon, and that's where the honor choir was taking place, so I went with her.

It was so great to be back at school! I got to see a few of my former professors and classmates. Then my sister came down to school and we got coffee. It was so nice to be back in Louisville with the people I know and doing the things I got used to doing in college!

After that whole day, we still had the concert to get through! We ended up not leaving the university until after 9:30! And had a two hour drive ahead of us.

Yesterday and today I've been having the worst flare-up! My skin is sensitive, my joints are exploding, and all the lights an and sounds are going through my skin. Its so weird because I don't usually have flare-ups like this. I'm writing this on my phone because it hurts too much to push my computer keys down. It's nuts!

My fiancé is the best ever: before he went to work I was bemoaning the fact that I have a lot to do today but it hurt too much. He said, "just do what you can and don't push yourself; if that's taking two dishes to the kitchen and then sitting for 15 minutes, do that." I'm so lucky. :-) Best man in the world.

I promise I will be better at keeping this blog up--please keep reading! xoxo
