On days like this I wanna throw the towel in...

The past few days have been pretty rough for me. I made the above icon when I got up yesterday morning. It felt as if I'd been beaten in my lower back region. Today has been no better. This means our meal plan has been off kilter. I did toss stuff in the crockpot yesterday so we had a pretty good dinner last night. Tonight hubby made dinner - however, I hate when he does this because I'm left with a huge mess. I would have been just as happy with a sandwich or something. :)

I'm going to take my meds early tonight and find my way to the bed. Here's to hoping I can sleep tonight.

Yard Sales + Lots of Walking = Fibro Flare!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I went to a community yard sale on Saturday and I guess I did too much. Now I'm paying the price for my "fun" so to speak.

I got 12 books for a total of $3.75. This means I paid right at 31 cents per book. Two of them are a gift for my mom for her birthday. The others will probably be read and either given to my mom or sold at the local Bookrack. I can trade books there for same genre books. They take my books and give me 1/4 of cover price. They sell them at 1/2 of cover price. If I pay 50 cents or so for the book, in essence I am making money.

I also got a clock for my kitchen ($1). We are in the process of remodeling this room and the clock is the perfect match to the colors and style I selected.

I picked up a nice decorative basket to sit on the kitchen counter to hold my medications for $1.00. I also got hubby a new (literally) belt ($1) and pair of like new shoes ($1). I got a tea light style lamp ($1), a party lite bowl and plate set ($1), and a small Tupperware brand container (50 cents).

All in all I think I quite well. I did not find any work shorts or tees for Hubby but I still have the rest of the summer left for 'shopping'. We're not in a desperate need for these items but they are things he will definately need and use.

The rest of the weekend was spent trying to recouperate. I did manage to get the kitchen cleaned up and part of the refrigerator organized but that took 1 1/2 hours instead of the normal 20 minutes. I didn't get the summer stuff out of the attic or the winter stuff put up. I guess that can wait until later in the week.
