"Death in Paradise" Keeping The Fibro Away

So the week of April 2-5 was pure hell.  I was laid up pretty bad with massive cramps and some seriously painful bouts of pain.  In addition, I was apparently going on a roller coaster of hormones and my eyes were bugging out of my skull with allergies.  The weather was hell and I was having a "fun"time being wracked with weather pains.

I stepped away because while I wasn't feeling well I was drinking old teas and resting a lot, so writing was not at the first of my thoughts.  After some of the stress of the last few weeks I needed to step away and just enjoy my teas.  I was able to get my brain and emotions back in order, which is what I needed.  So now I'm back. :D

David and I have been laying low after this last weekend's Alliance LARP Gettysburg event.  It went well but due to lack of sleep and both David and I being ill, we ran ourselves a bit ragged.  It was a fun weekend and I definitely cannot wait to see all our friends again throughout the season.  Hopefully I can feel inspired again soon so I can get more background done for Barran.

My birthday (I'm 31 now!) was Tuesday and we had a great evening before with the household at Brewhouse.  They don't have any alcoholic teas there but beer is tasty and I had several.  It was a beautiful day outside and we had a nice meal.  Several photos resulting (and placed in this entry)
 


David and I have our evening "relax and get ready for sleep" ritual/thing we do like watching fun TV shows or things that engage our minds but don't upset us.  We have watched Poirot, Murder She Wrote, Criminal Minds, Midsomer Murders, and several others.  We found a new show through Netflix called "Death in Paradise".  WE LOVE IT!  I definitely recommend it for anyone that likes murder mystery shows with a funny twist or quirky situations.  We're finding it funny to look at the show and see people from other BBC shows that we watch a lot.  A lot of villians from Midsomer Murders are victims or suspects in this series but thankfully the characters are completely different so it's not an overlap.

Tonight, I've been drinking a mixture of One Good Woman's Dream blend and +Adagio Teas fandom blend Aurora.

During the day at work today I had the +Kates Magik "Passionate Love" blend and the +Zest Tea Apple Cinnamon blend.  I was able to get through the day without much issue, even a supervisor meeting didn't really stop me from getting my work done and not having an overly stressful day.

BTW - love you all and thank you for your support.  I hope I can get back into a regular pattern of posting again.  *LOVE*
