Early Mornings
















I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and had terrible indigestion so went downstairs for some remedy and feel better.I hate nights when I can't sleep as I know tomorrow will be tough. A lot of you know I suffer from SLE. Systemic lupus Erythmotosis. It is a horrible disease. painful and hard to treat. there is no cure. I go in and out of remission. I also have fibromyalgia and it's not fun either.You stay pumped up with drugs to make it through the days. It is hard I won't lie. I consider myself blessed as I could have it so much worse like some of my Fb friends. Face book has been great for me and I like to write. I have met wonderful talented ladies and a few nuts along the way. LOL It humbles me. I will say that. I love being a prim decorator and buying/selling as these help keep my mind off my illness. My husband is a trucker and works crazy hours so I need something to keep me busy. LOL Living in a 2 story house w/ 3 cats and a husband and a house full of primitives is quite the antidote.Not to make light because I suffer. I don't broadcast it but I do. I like to surround myself with things I love. My grandchildren. My cats. My dough bowls, buckets and on and on. It helps having a VICE, I call it.Good grief, it is now 4:30 A>M>Good night.

  1. I'm very sorry for your illness Candi. I understand what you mean about surrounding yourself with things you love. THings that make you smile and things that make you feel good... even when you don't. I live with Crohns disease and it's a very painful, miserable existance sometimes. But even when it sucks... I always have a kitty on a lap to make me smile. I wish you the best. ♥

  3. Oh I can so relate to your post! My reflux has been awful the past couple of days,and I am so tired this morning from being awake last night. I have fibro too, but I don't take anything, but over the counter stuff. I have a hair salon and it kills me. I compelely relate to suffering, I do everyday, and make sure to look around everyday at what I am blessed with in my life, and that some have it so much worse. I think I finally overused my microwaveable heating pad last night, I melted it!!! lol
    Cat's rule! We have 5 and 2 dogs. I am so lucky they let me live in this wonderful prim house!! haha Have a great day! hugs!

  6. So sorry you suffer so much Candi girl! I see you on facebook a lot and you are always so stinkin' cheery! =] I think that says a lot about your personality! You definitely have a good way of pushing the pain and hurt away as you talk about prims. I don't comment hardly at all because I'm trying not to get too addicted to it, but I always love to see what you have to say for the day. It is always positive and upbeat and lifts my spirits! For that, I thank you!
