please me strength to go on a trip with my husband!!

I have switched from nights to days for going down south with my loving hubby to visit my father in-law and we leave tomorrow. Since Friday I have felt like crap. I had to stay up about 27 hours to flip and prep for the trip, ie laundry. We went to the local renaissance festival yesterday, in costume (corset) and I got sunburnt pretty bad. I also didn't eat hardly yesterday cuz I was so hot all I could do was drink pop and water. We also went from 9am to 6pm and sat at a lot of live shows. the festivals banches aren't too friendly to us fibro patients so my butt feels like I have saddle sores and just packing the clothes for the 9 day trip hurt my sunburn and my elbows which normal don't hurt. so I'm exhausted from a rough 3 weeks at work. I'm couch so hard and roughly I think I'm sick but no other symptoms. just a dyer need to drink hot cocoa. so I need the happy gentle motivation to come out of my comfortable hole in the ground and go to a place outside my comfort zone to family that I rarely see so they really don't know how to handle my fibro. I don't want to make my husband feel like crap because of heat stroke and fibro pain.

Egads! You do have a full plate, all right. What you describe makes ME want to hide in bed. I'll send you some gentle motivation, and hope you get it!! ;) Maybe somehow it won't be as hard as you think. Sometimes it's the things we don't see coming that hit us hardest, you know?

I livr near Atlanta & I've been to that Renfest so I know how that is. Fun but physically rough. I can give you a little tip to make your return from your upcoming trip a little easier. Take a roll of quarters with you & before you pack for home, take all the laundry to a laundromat -- that way it gets done faster in large loads & will be all clean & folded when you get home.
