....it's 3 AM. I've been up and down all night, mostly up...hurting.  We had our flu shots yesterday morining, and by late evening I knew that it was going to throw my fibromyalgia into a major flare.  [It happened once before, several years ago...and this one I believe is even worse.]  To say that every part of my body from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head [yep...headache too]...hurts...is an understatement.  Although, it probably didn't help that it was very cold outside and in the grocery stores afterwards too. [I couldn't feel my finger tips even with gloves on!]   ::Anyone else out there in blog-land [with Fibro] having the same type reaction to the flu shot this season?]   How much longer until SPRING??  [I'm counting the days...already!]

I watched the VP debate...and I'm voicing my "freedom of speech" now....with a little run down of how I viewed it.  Honestly, they both avoided answering the acutal questions [typical]...Palin more so than Biden.  I think perhaps Palin has a PMS side [that she keeps hidden most of the time.]  Her excuses and replies, after the debate [on a news channel that was 100% pro-Rep]...is that....during those interviews this week, [yep...the ones that she had trouble answering and looked more like a "rabid deer caught in head lights"...leading up to the debate]...was because she was...annoyed???  Huh?  Annoyed makes you forget the name of a single publication that you read???...or note one or two court rulings you don't agree with...[besides the ONE that everyone knows about??]  Come on...they keep saying that she has so much experience....because she's up there in Alaska?  Oh yeah....with that mean ole country just across the pond as a neighbor...the one that she can see from her porch??  OYYYY....no doubt those two days at one of the McCain estates [with the debate coach] helped prep her for the debate.  I mean in all fairness...she did manage to come off without looking like a total air head. {She reminds me of another previous VP nominee...from years ago.}  But...the bottom line is...do you think shes ready to lead if McCain can't??   Needless to say...we are both still undecided.  BUT...after the massive "bailout" [wait!!!....they like to call it a "rescue package"...it sounds better doesn't it?] that they passed yesterday loaded down with tons of pork....[also typical]...this is where 8 years of the Rep. policy has gotten us...do we really want another 4 years of the same problems, excuses, and blank checks {that seems to benefits everyone...except our own people?}  Maybe we'll know more after the next two debates...[but I seriously wouldn't bet the farm on it.]

Well that's about it for this time...my body is screaming...so I'll close for now.  Have a wonderful weekend...and please remember me in prayer.

Hugs & Blessings...T
