And then there is that

Lots of things to accomplish today. Have to use up the fresh veg and rotisserie chicken today. That means lots of chopping and standing. At least 4 loads of laundry today up and down the basement stairs.  That means legs, knees and arms. Cleaning up kitchen.  That means lots of hand movements and standing. Moving the typewriters around until it suits me. That means lifting, more hands, arms and knees. 
And then there is wrangling Freddy in from the backyard several times because he is barking non-stop at the telephone repairman.  That means walking which means knees, feet, legs.
When I woke up this morning I didn't think all the things I wanted to accomplish would be a big deal.
And then the pain started creeping in, little by little. I was annoyed but just grabbed the Advil and continued on what I thought was my merry way.
And then there was that.
Then the pain started.  Everywhere at once. Like a migraine headache all over your body.  Feet, ankles, legs, knees, hips, back, shoulders, arms wrists hands, fingers. That's when you realize it.  Oh NO! Here it comes!  WHY, today? CRAP! And you know the only thing you can do is take more Advil and go to bed.  So you lay there just not able to concentrate on anything.  The dogs know.  Freddy jumps up on the bed and lays as close as he can to you. You just lay there for several hours.  Wishing and praying it will go away again.
You are so grateful it does not happen every single day.  But then you have pain every, single day when you go to bed and before you even open your eyes to get up.  But THANK GOD, the other doesn't happen every single day. And you realize that when the other happens, you always say to yourself....
and then there was that.  Today.
