fibro hell

[rootofnewt]

i'm awake and achy.

i should go outside or something, but i don't want to move.

i should have a bowl of the soup i made yesterday, but i'm nauseated.

*sigh*

why does being ill have to suck so much? why can't i be a genteel invalid who is mostly bearable, but whose midnight howls echo along darkened corridors? i could have a wicker chair and wear a lap blanket and a velvet robe. i'd have my own bevy of servants to attend to the mundane duties i cannot muster the energy for.

well..

at least i can make a lap blanket, eh?

My guess would stand at this: because you done live in some horrible Gothic novel set in the Deep South, your family has not hidden you away for having some "terrible, deep dark secret" that has caused you to be "infirm", You probably dont have the money to pay your "bevy of servants", and most of all because you'd go nuts if you weren't able to do anything for yourself...I get the feeling you take pride in being stronger than your illnesses, in living a full, productive, and at least marginally happy life...But then again, maybe I'm the one that should be in the sanatarium...
