- Birthday
- October 20
- Bio
- I'm 35. I work in a career I love, paint, ski, nordic walk, have dogs, have a boyfriend, read incessantly, crochet, travel, sing in my car, and cook like a dream.
I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and the some of the story is posted here. Having corrected that, I have regained energy and vitality, so I'm not online as much as before. Can't really say "F the medical establishment" enough right now.
*Please excuse the mess while I readjust my online identity*

I hate McDonalds new marketing campaign. In addition to serving overly sweetened dreck disguised as coffee, they are driving me nutty with the insistance of putting an accute accented "e" on words.
It's about a 7.5 mile ride one way. I ride in designated bike lanes, there is usually a high level of traffic, lots of pot holes, and traffic lights.
I love riding to work. It's a way for me to clear the cobwebs of sleep out of my brain in the… Read full post »
Evidently, THIS is the face of Fibromyalgia:
These images are taken from the two pharmaceutical websites that market drugs for FM. To me, this seems to give the impression to the impressionable that FM is a disease for older women, probably Caucasian, mid to… Read full post »
I started out with the best intentions. I got up every day, showered, put on clothes that didn't resemble pj's and sat down to "work".
My daily task list:
- Monster.com - find at least one job to apply for
- Indeed.com - find at least one job to apply … Read full post »

"I'll trade you for a job" I joked.
She said "Come down to… Read full post »
I was rushing to get to a BBQ party one August. I was living the dream life in Chicago, working and residing downtown during the dot com boom. Friends were plentiful and we spent our downtime lounging on back porches grilling up free range and organic food from Wild Oats, musing… Read full post »
It's 8:59 AM and I don't want to get moving. This is pretty typical in the morning as I'm usually so fatigued I can't speak. So I hit the blog circuit and read about the lives of people who aren't like mine.
To preface, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia… Read full post »
