So sometimes I’m going to be late. Sometimes I will not be able to be here at all. I will always leave you a note as soon as I’m able.

I have severe spinal arthritis and stenosis as well as frequent tremors. Fibromyalgia is the kind of arthritis that is extremely weather sensitive, and I have that, too, the result of damage to nerves and muscles from two auto accidents. Some days are, well, hairy to get through.

Today is one of those days. I’m having trouble wearing a shoe on my left foot, the terminus of damaged nerves. And I feel as if insects are crawling all over me, something that happens when the fibro kicks up. I hardly slept at all last night, also the result of fibro. Today is cooler and rainy and stormy, and I felt every drop, every jolt, of that coming.

So this is to say, I will be moving slowly today. But I will be moving, I have a morning appointment, but by afternoon I will be trying to extend a few scenes toward the end of my new novel, Men Who Love Chocolate.

What are you working on today? Please leave me a note in the comments section below.
