As if the cold weather wasn't bad enough...
 

As if the cold weather wasn't enough to flare up my RSD...they were doind road work outside our house yesterday and I felt the entire house vibrating for hours on end and wanted to scream. Still dealing with the aftermath of that today and there was absolutely nothing I could do about that. At least with the weather you can sort of try to keep warm and protect yourself. What do you do when your house is shaking?

Couple of threads about the weather creating flares. Luckily, I have not experienced this. But I still hate the cold none-the-less!

If the house is shaking? I guess the movie theater might be a good option!

Sure would be if I could drive. But alas...I was stranded inside the house because my boyfriend was at work. Oh well...hopefully I recover from this in a few days or so. At least since it's the weekend now I won't need to worry about any roadwork for at least a few days. :)

catra, that is an automatic **** off for me. When something like that happens, or that smart butt who insists on playing the bass in his car has loud as he can.

Usually during a LaNina it stays drier and not much snow down here. I can see snow on the higher mountain peaks (a great view of 9 peaks) but just cold and windy where I am. I sure hope for a mild winter. Last winter we got slammed.
Do not do well in cold!... :Bang-Head:

Ha...yeah...our house is right at a 4-way stop sign so those idiots with the bass turned up are something I suffer from regularly. Thank goodness at least that doesn't last long. I wanted to go out fronts and yell at the construction guys...but I know it's not their fault and the works needs to be done so it's just something I have to deal with. Maybe they will come again Monday morning when I am at my doctor's appt and finish up. THAT would be too good to be true.

Oh well...it's windy and cool outside today so I think this will be abother day spent in front of my space heater. Sigh...things will get better. How many days until Spring?

I must say this is my favorite time of the year tho. All the trees changing colors and the one's blocking my view lost all their leaves and now I have a great panoramic view of nine peaks.
There's two brothers that live about 1/4 mile from me who play loud music in their garage that bothers me too. I call them the boombox brothers (lol). You can hear their music all around the mountain. Outside of that it's nice and peaceful up here...

Catra,
Most of my family lives in IL in northwest burbs of Chicago. One reason I used for not moving up there was taxes but now since RSD I have the weather too...

I do love the color changes and everything that come with the fall season...I just prefer to see it from snuggled up inside the house. My boyfriend's family owns a house on a lake up in Northern Wisconsin and I would love to move up there (despite the weather) just to have that beautiful view of the lake. There's just something that makes you feel better about being trapped in the house when you have a beautiful view to look at.

But the weather...ick...I want to live somewhere warmer. But at the same time I don't know that I would be happy living so far away from any family.

catra, have you checked into local transport services for the disabled? If there is one available, you might consider applying, even if you only use it in emergency type situations. Even taking a cab one direction and having your bf pick you up on the way home from work, might be worth it. (If you're lucky your local transport service for the disabled/elderly might even be free cab rides. One of the cities close to me uses them for much of their transport.)

Feeling trapped in an environment that causes you pain is miserable! I spent years dealing with my whole home shaking because of new beach construction that required them to drive piles. So, so aggravating. And then frequently they sit vacant all year except for the occassional weekend trip by their uber wealthy owners.

Rythmic vibration is the worst in my opinion. :( I do find that removing the noise helps quite a bit. Try using headphones to listen to something that will distract you. Many libraries offer free MP3 audio books and even music that is downloadable online. Check your city and county and any large statewide public library, since they all might have different programs and selections.
