I just wanted to tell yall something...

Friday, I planted a garden. Spent the day shopping for it at lowes,

came home, and did it.

Well... I helped. Husband did most of the work. But I planted THREE

herb window boxes myself, and 6 rows of the garden ALL BY MYSELF!

heheh... i know that sounds so childish... but it made me so happy to

feel useful.

Saturday the pain started kicking in... I knew I overdid. But I

battled through, and took my husband out to dinner at his favorite

japanese steakhouse, then to see IronMan. I even fixed up and wore a

cocktail dress and everything. His jaw dropped. He was actually

nervous and giddy he was so excited when he saw me! Heheh... I'm

happy. I feel like I'm unattractive alot because I dont fix up a whole

bunch because of lack of energy and the pain. Also, I feel

unattractive, because I feel useless.

Again.. I know its childish... but it was so nice to feel pretty again

and actually turn a few heads. Again... its childish and vain... but I

get so tired of feeling like this whiny, ugly, useless, glob on the couch.

Nopw.. by Sunday I was back to useless. Flaring again. And today I

have to work... caring for an infant. Yay.

Anyways... I just wanted to share my happy.

Take care and HUGS

Oh Suzanne, I can so relate. I feel the same way honey. You would not believe

what this damn disease has done to me the last 3 years even. I don't even look

like the same person anymore when I look in the mirror. I do put on my makeup

most days for work and try to " fix " myself if I can. But I also have that

" useless " " ugly " feeling. I use to be soooo pretty. I am not bragging but I

really was. Just 5 short years ago I did not even look my age. Hubby and I use

to go out and have a few drinks now and then and I would turn heads also. Now,

I look about 5 or 10 years older than my real age, I have gained a bunch of

weight, and I am a slug most of the time when I am off work because of

exhaustion and pain.

It really makes it hard on me to think that hubby is 10 years younger than me.

It never bothered me so much until the last few short years.

But... I am so glad you did some normal things and felt wonderful about

yourself. But just remember, we are not worthless. We need to realize that we

are really very worthy people that just got sick with an invisible disease that

has cursed our lives.

love and hugs,

I just wanted to tell yall something...

Friday, I planted a garden. Spent the day shopping for it at lowes,

came home, and did it.

Well... I helped. Husband did most of the work. But I planted THREE

herb window boxes myself, and 6 rows of the garden ALL BY MYSELF!

heheh... i know that sounds so childish... but it made me so happy to

feel useful.

battled through, and took my husband out to dinner at his favorite

Hi Suzanne,

I'm so glad you had a few good days. And hey, girl, if you got it, flaunt it!!!!

I have found that even if you don't feel well, it does help to slap on some

makeup. I can't wait to get in my garden! I am just pooped when I get home

during the week and it rained last weekend. Long range says it is gonna rain

again this weekend, hope they are wrong.

Love,

Hi Suzanne,

Good for you! I'm so glad that you had a great weekend.

I know what you mean, we feel so yucky on the inside... I dress for

comfort alot of the time because my skin hurts to the touch.

Once again, congratulations on a great time!

Gentle Hugs,

Kristi
