It's okay, Connie, you meant well! My arthritis loves a hot shower, my MS doesn't. I try to find a balance. Oh wait. I don't have any balance.

I feel a little better today. Once in a while, everything seems to rear its ugly rear at once, and it just overwhelms me. Today I've got it just a wee bit more pulled together (she likes to think).

I've got to get my Mickey Rivers thing going. Back in the day, I saw an interview with "Mick the Quick", and the interviewer asked him how he could be so laid back about everything.

I can't quote it precisely, but essentially he said: "Well, I don't worry about the things I can't do anything about, because I can't do anything about them anyway. And I don't worry about the things I CAN do something about, because I can DO something about them so I don't need to worry about them either. So why worry?"
