Blink at the sun

I went for a very long walk.
It is in the high sixties and blindingly sunny. Slightly windy.
It feels like autumn here.
Oh, Maryland weather, you amuse me.

Adam has been at work since early this morning. I am working on the novel and drinking acai juice and considering lunch. Also, I have chocolate ice cream.

You know, at this point I've decided to ignore anyone who tries to shove Lyrica and Cymbalta in my face just because they are the first FDA approved drugs for my condition. Lyrica is a fucking ant-seizure drug, just like Trileptal, which I am already fucking taking, and Cymbalta gave me very bad side effects and my doctor took me off it.
So I am going to just continue taking my Trileptal, which has worked perfectly fine, and eventually if and when it becomes "officially FDA approved" I will smile politely and say, "See? I am taking a damn fibro drug! Now shut up and leave me alone and let me take care of my life. Also, this illness is very real, and very annoying, and if you keep trying to tell me what to do with my health when you have no real clue about my health and how I care for myself, I will curse you with the disorder and hope it sticks."

Also, the opinions of people like Dr. Nortin Hadler make me literally angry with rage. What a fucking asshole.

I do want to hug Dr. Daniel Clauw, though. "At the end of the day I don't care how you categorize this — it's a legitimate condition and these people are suffering."

Yes, I am a tad irritated. It shall pass.

Ow?

I hurt myself when I walked into a clothes hanger.
...
A hanger.
It was sticking out at an angle on an over the door hanger bar, and I walked past and it jabbed me in the side of my head, my right temple.
I laughed after it stopped hurting.
Although, it was at perfect head height for me, so... Huh.
Adam fixed the problem. I will no longer be walking into hangers.

Dinner was beef and vegetable stew made in the new pressure cooker, with French bread dipped in an olive oil and herb mix, plus a paste made out of avocados, cheese, and spices. Adam took the leftover paste and made me a spinach wrap for lunch tomorrow.

My husband will fly Dallas, TX on Thursday. He'll set up the job and fly back on Monday (maybe Sunday). This makes us both happy. He will have hours and he will be traveling.
