Rebecca's Place

I am currently reading Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin. I love her books and read The Happiness Project at least once a year. Better Than Before is about habits. Something we all could stand to take a long look at. I know for a fact my habits are terrible. I know the things I should be doing. Unfortunately, I’m lazy and whiny. I don’t eat or exercise like I should. I should keep a cleaner…

I think the kids call it Side Hustle

I have been spending time this afternoon looking at ways to make extra money. I wish I had the discipline to actually make money from my blog. Alas, I do not. I love my job, not so much what I do as the place and the people. I have never worked in a place where I was so at ease. It’s stressful as hell. There are days (so many days) I wish I could put mini liquor bottles in the vending machine.…

Morning Musing on Fibromyalgia

This morning as I enjoyed my cup of coffee, I was browsing Pinterest and came across a pin I had to click on. “To Anyone Grieving the Loss of Who They Were Before Fibromyalgia“. This was totally the pin for me. Before my formal diagnosis, I was convinced that would be the ultimate outcome. I knew beyond any doubt the doctor would say that was my problem. Right up until the day she told me that is…

End of the school year wrap up

So, I’ve written down a few blog prompts so help me get back in the swing of things. I hope that will help. I truly enjoy blogging, I’m a slacker at heart. I enjoy curling up with a good but and have all the energy of a sloth. Before I start working on those though I want to highlight a few things that have happened lately. No real reason to add this other than I enjoyed painting it and wanted to…

Possible New Diagnoses and Nervous Breakdowns

I saw my doctor the other day after he ran roughly 19 different test. Turns out, in his opinion, I am developing Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have taken the news much harder than I thought I would. Unlike when they told me I had fibromyalgia, I don’t doubt this diagnosis so much as dread the confirmation of it. It explains a lot.  I’ve been an emotional mess the last week or so ending in a totally…

So, I kind of forgot I have this blog

It has been a while and that’s totally my fought. I just forget about things that aren’t school or work related. This will most likely be a sporatic blog at best anyway. I am using Scrivner for writing so I will attempt to use it for blogging also. I have read post by people who do so with good results. I am loving that program. I will attempt to get with it and be a little more consitent. Becky

I love a good notebook

  I broke down a few months ago and spent the money on a moleskin journal. Oh, the beauty of the thing. I am in love with a simple, black notebook. So much so, in fact, that I am super picky about what I write in it. I will only write things that make me happy in it. Because of that, I  have written down about four pages worth of quotes, song lyrics, and phrases that I love. There is something…

So… I am back on antibiotics for this stupid tick bite. I never even knew a tick bit me but boy am I aware now. I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have a headache. Ugh.

On a much happier note I am an aunt again. My sister had a beautiful baby girl today. Miss. Stella Ann is nice and healthy and named for 2 of her great grandmothers. It’s funny really. The boys have a boy and girl cousin on…

Dealing with a flare without a prescription

I am currently not taking any medications for fibromyalgia or anything else. Typically I just take Motrin or maybe a Flexaril for pain or muscle spasms. I will also take a BC if I really want something to help fast. I will probably be writing about my new stomach in the next 15 years or so but sometimes you just need a BC. I try to handle Fibro with as little medication as possible for a number…
