We were supposed to go camping this weekend but didn't due to the weather so we had an unexpected few days at home. If anyone cares to think we are wimps I would like to state that it was snowing about five miles from the campground we were going to on Saturday.
We didn't go outside much because it has been cold, rainy, and raw but did make it into Boston to go the museum on Saturday. Sunday we cleaned out the basement some more - there is always more on that project. Yesterday we finally were able to grill outside. And my husband mowed the lawn.
One thing I have enjoyed is that I finally got caught up on my rest. Not just sleep but rest. During the week when I have to get up three days in a row (which you may think is an easy week), I am struggling by the third day and really need more rest.
I could have gone off for the whole day yesterday and done fun things but am concerned that I will not make it through the next three days of work if I did. I needed another easy day at home. My plan was early dinner on the grill outside and then early to bed. That part worked. Then I woke up at 10, 1130, 2, 330 and 430 so I don't feel very rested. Today I will work and go to the gym after a bone density test and then I will go to bed early. I need the rest.
The cat is very miffed that his breakfast has been late for four days in a row. I'm not.

I have lots of optimistic reading to do today
I can't blog about these articles because:
A. Its too early in the day and my brain is not awake enough to absorb them.
B. I slept really badly last night and I am tired and crankiness may loom in my day.
C. They look long and complicated - a tad daunting, see A and B above.
But here are links to them:
Drug Aims to Make Several Types of Cancer Cells Self Destruct - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/23/health/new-drugs-aim-to-make-cells-destroy-cancer.html?ref=science&_r=1&
Is the Cure for Cancer Inside You? - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/23/magazine/is-the-cure-for-cancer-inside-you.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&hp&
I promise to read them, digest them, and give you my opinion in the coming days.
I slept really badly because things hurt. Let me count the ways - back, hips, shoulder, elbow, feet, and hands. I don't think I left anything out but I might have. Oh yes, there was the overly friendly cat who kept on doing donuts on the bed over me. I think he was hungry. But he was annoying.
Its a good thing I have optimistic reading to do today because where does one's mind go when one is awake in the middle of the night? Down that DARK AND EVIL ROAD. You know the one. The one that asks things like:
- the pain isn't because of RA and fibro, its must be the return of the evil cancer cooties.
- when is my next doctor appointment, who is it with and what questions do I have to ask them?
- did I forget to get anyone's Christmas gift?
- and lastly why didn't I balance the check book since the mortgage is due later this week?
But I digress. I will optimistically read later today. First I need to finish waking up, go to the grocery store, and then to the gym. And take a nap.
