Fibromyalgia Fog


Us peeps with Fibromyalgia are very familiar with something called "fibro fog." It's like feeling groggy and tired and you can't think straight. Your mind is foggy and all you want to do is sleep. I get a weird "headache" when it hits me. It's not painful, but my head feels heavy and "stuffy." Anyways, the past week I've had one every day at around 6pm. My body just decides it wants a nap. Yep. And it's 6 now. I want a nap.
-_-

In other news we have a second kitty! His name is King Leonidas! He's a 1 year old all black fluff ball. His previous owner could not keep him, and we decided to adopt him before he had to go to a shelter. Adults have a difficult time getting adopted, and black cats usually don't get adopted either, sadly. So we had him meet Abby, and then he moved in with us a week ago. Abby hissed at him for the first couple of days any time she saw him, but now they are buddies. They chase each other all over the apartment while making cute little prrmrow noises. ^_^ It's cute.

Unintentional diet


I've been frequently forgetting to eat. I just don't feel like eating or my hunger instinct isn't very strong. So I've gone several days on maybe one full meal's worth calories. I'm still taking vitamins, but food just doesn't seem appetizing most of the time. Not too healthy of me, I know. I have collected a bunch of pictures of easy-to-make foods that look yummy, and I plan to put them on the fridge to encourage me to get food when I wander to the kitchen. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. :/
