FINALLY! What I've been waiting for some tenacious and intelligent person to do! Someone has put together a comprehensive guide to the negative impact of Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs. It is an ongoing project, and it needs to be done. This comes as good news for me, while in the face of bad news. http://www.cflimpact.com/

Even mentioning Fibromyalgia to some people turns them off.They have preconceived notions about the people with it. Perhaps you should consider the high prevalence of DOCTORS who are too lazy or uneducated to figure out what is actually wrong with a person so they diagnose as Fibromyalgia. The actual sufferers of this illness are not at fault for the mass misdiagnosis by this country's doctors

Sometimes I deny an offering of help from a friend simply because I know they won't do it the way I like it to be done, and that it isn't even worth the energy delegating them the task and feeling potential irritability toward them later. I might as well use that energy to just do it myself, and make sure it is done the way I like, thus avoiding my silly negative reaction. I would like to stress

http://www.andfibromyalgia.com/fibromyalgia_personality.html I found this link from Facebook, which probably means it's attempting to sell me something. I'm not buying, but I did find it interesting. This site lists several traits which are common for people who have Fibromyalgia. I thought I'd go through and address each one. I was surprised at how many of them I actually struggle with. 1. Are

It had been brought to my attention that my comments weren't working for some systems previously, so I thought I'd shoot out a little message letting people know that they are now fixed, and I am ready for comments. On another note, I'm nearly complete with the other half of that giant scarf I've been creating. Then I'm going to attempt blocking for the first time, and then I'm going to be damn

With my memory fading fast to medication side effects, age and fibro / lupus brain fog, I'm finding it more necessary to have a place for me to keep all of my thoughts, tasks, todos, ideas, calendars, medications, refills. Everything, in one book. I've gone through and found several free printable charts I may or may not include in my 3 ring "Miss" binder. Has anybody else done something like

It has been a little while, but when your body gets tired, your brain gets tired too. I've been making some serious progress on the crocheted scarf hoody I've been working on, and I took a couple of photos to post. I'm using Caron Country yarn, which has quickly become my favorite line. Affordable, soft, comfy. it is a wool blend, and extremely soft. These photos are clearly pre-blocking, so

The four or five hour car trip to Seattle was quite painless - at least there was no nausea, and that qualifies. We listened to tunes Sean added, including some Brian Jonestown Massacre warm-ups. I still hadn't felt the excitement for the show yet. There was a little bit there, but mostly to see Seattle again. Living so close, I've visited perhaps 10 times total. That city gives me a glorious

Due to screw-ups on my part, I ran out of Lyrica before I could take my evening dose on Friday. I figured I would just wait it out until Monday to get a refill - but I didn't realize until Saturday that it was Memorial Day weekend, which means Monday would not bring me a refill. It was a really rough few days. Without the 150mg dose of Lyrica I take in the evening I tossed and turned throughout

Last year I crocheted a large hooded scarf for Sean's Boss Jozie's mom. It ended up quite beautiful, but of course I wasn't completely pleased with it. Jozie liked it so much that she wanted one for herself, so I'm working on that one. The old one was just a large rectangle, folded in half and sewn up a little for a hood. This one is taking quite a bit more work. Joz wanted the scarf to

I've been seriously thinking the past few weeks about what I'd like my next tattoo to be. My idea is vintage botanical drawings. I found a couple beautiful ideas.

Today was a day of rarities in my world. After about four hours of sleep, I woke up at 8:30 am to run to the grocery store for a few stupid reasons. 1) Donuts. 2) Starbucks. 3) Orange Juice (which I only just remembered now - damn it!) 4) Depositing $25 in change I rolled last night and pick up more rolls. Just that little bit is exhausting. Anyhow -I must be a fruit newb. I had never heard of or

I figured I'd begin with something I'll call, "I'm A Fan", where I talk about a blog, artist, podcast, etc., which inspire me.Self-Guided Art TherapyI started subscribing to craft blogs, and then from there to niche things like embroidery, crochet, sewing, and so on.

Sorry about that, if there is even anybody out there? Are you? Hopefully I'll start posting more frequently, I just try to refrain from posts that simply say, "Boy I'm tired!" My allergies have been pretty atrocious lately, and today especially. The price I pay for getting laundry done the past couple of days is feeling like I have a head cold and like I'm going to faint every time I move today
