Ow, my everything

brightlotusmoonUnusually warm October day plus fog plus very high humidity plus lack of rain equals fibro flare.
Body does not want to move.
Yet I determine, I plunge on, I move even though everything hurts like hell, literally, I'm burning from inside.
This is also prime seizure weather. I can already feel potential auras (simple partials) swelling up my spine like ocean waves in a brewing storm. I am getting fairly good at pushing them back, holding them at bay, distracting my brain. They lie simmering in the back of my head and at the base of my spine, twitching and waiting.
Such is life, this.
The Sambazon Acai Energy Juice has kicked in. The guarana and yerba mate have begun flooding me with wakefulness, and I am grateful.
The electric bills have been insanely high the last few months, of course, and I keep having to split them in two, paying half with each paycheck. It drains my bank account too quickly along with all the other bills. I don't know anyone who can afford to keep paying five hundred dollar electricity bills every month. Adam and I apparently make middle class wages, even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Still, I feel lucky to be able to pay the bills and have enough to live off of. However it's always the little things that add up, naturally. I've been budgeting as much as I can; I find sales and discounts and cheaper alternatives, even though they still add up. It can be difficult, yes, but I work on it. We all do the best we can, right?
