I’m in the throes of menopause & my endometriosis is becoming increasingly more painful. As is my guilt for having this illness for 20 years & not being able to become a mom. Something my husband reminds me of constantly.

Having fibromyalgia, IBS & endometriosis are all connected, so if I’m having a flare day or having pelvic pain I never know what will transpire or happen. Makes for interesting days. My period is becoming more painful & thanks to endometriosis it’s exhausting me.

Having the physical issues I have are bothersome & tiresome. But I attempt to leave the house every day. I walk Fløyen once a week when I’m battling side effects from the endometriosis. It doesn’t stop me however to walk up anyway.

I practice grateful living every day, & I am grateful for my ability to write & interact with my friends in the community. Today I’m happy Spring is almost here as it’s the last day of February. What are things or people you’re grateful for?

Valentines Day is always 7 days after my birthday, meh. I wore black & grey in honor of over-priced roses & sappy romcoms on this day. My theory is that if you can’t tell someone you love them the rest of the year Why do it vday?

Anyway, town was full of black & sprinkled with roses & sad faces as I went in early & I’m kind of dreading tonight when town will be packed.

I went through my resume & it was literally crap, I’m embarrassed I sent it to potential employers. I’ve not looked at it in 2 years! Just sent it out. Embarrassing.

I’m looking forward to this weekend when the Farmers market will be back. The weather is supposed to be crap but what else is new!
