if there was a day that needed the most get up and go - and keep going, today would be it.  I'm in the homestretch of this dig, and today's scheduled task is a mighty one.  i would have done it first, just to get it out of the way, but it was logistically impossible...much litle those little plastic puzzles with the squares, i had to move this to get to that, and that needed to be over here in order for the other thing to be moved out, etc.  so now, one of the most daunting parts.  but also the most rewarding, i think.  i may end up with a new jeweler's bench in the process, which would help keep me organized going forward.  and boy do i need it, with necklace orders coming in.
and as much as today needed to be a get up-and-get-in-gear day, sadly - it isn't.  it's damp and rainy and a perfect day to cuddle under the covers with diva.  i woke up at 1am, and thought about getting going then.  but didn't.  then woke up at 3am, and snuggled deeper under the blanket.  finally at 5am i was up.  ate breakfast, and those darn pillows entered into a plan with the cuddly blanket, and back to snoozeville.  i have to say it did me good though.  at 5am i could barely walk, but after taking some ibuprophen and elevating my legs for a few hours, it is better-ish.  so i'll re-start the day now.
some good news:  i am getting re-tested for Lyme.  it would make sense.  the laundry list of symptoms that i've been experiencing for the past few years are each on the Lyme list, and honestly, they are not getting any better, that's for certain.  there are days when walking, using my hands or getting out of bed are just not an option.  i've gotten diagnosis of fibromyalgia and RA and OA, but those don't explain some of the other things.  for too long, i've felt like a hypochondriac running to the doctor constantly, but the pains and symptoms are real.
oy enough of that.  time to get busy!  Today's reward will be dinner out, and a bubble bath.  lusting after a big soaking tub.  waiting on delivery of this essential item.
