worrying about a 5 year plan. No one knows what is going to happen in the next

5 years, with Fibromyalgia or anything else.

appt that I will take myself too (this is new to me, back to driving myself

around). Other than that I will try to do something in the kitchen today to

declutter a little. It I can get both of those things done I will be content.

week. I will have someone staying here with me for 3 nights, either my daughter

or my cousin, and the bedroom for them is a mess. I hope to be able to

straighten it out some, but I'll do what I can and they will be OK with whatever

I cannot do.

sons if the 3 year old Brady will come) comes to stay for 3 nights. So I'm

planning what to have in the house to eat for them and what we will do. We play

a lot of games and read books and watch movies, and do quiet things. My cousin

will take him to play with 6 for a while each day so I will get a

chance to rest. I love for him to come.

> So my hope is just that I can get through something a minute at a time and

make it through so I can enjoy what's on the other side.

because thinking about it doesn't make it any better. I just deal with what

comes as well as I can at the moment.
