I am actually feeling a little better than I have been. I think Sunday was one of my worst days. Yesterday was ok and today is ok. I sort of want to go work out in the yard but it is so cold. I think if if were warmer I would definitely attempt to do something even if just for a few minutes. Since I am not going to write much today, I thought I would add an e-mail that someone sent me. Its called:


You know you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome when.....
You know you have CFS when you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of by the police.
CFS is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.
You know you have CFS when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
Don't worry about avoiding temptation. With CFS, it will avoid you.
You know you have CFS when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.
You know you have CFS when you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.
You know you have CFS when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.
Doctor to patient: "I have good news and bad news -- the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac."
You know you have CFS when you have to sit down to brush your teeth in the morning.
You know you have CFS when you become exhausted from the effort to blow out the candles on your birthday cake.
You know you have CFS when you have to take a nap because chewing your dinner wore you out.
You know you have CFS when you get up to change the TV channel and decide as long as you're up, you might as well go to bed.
You know you have CFS when one of the throw pillows on your bed is a hot-water bottle.
You know you have CFS when everything that works hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
You know you have CFS when you reach the toilet, but forgot what you wanted to do.
You know you have CFS when you have to get rid of your dog; he kept trying to drag you to the yard to bury you.
You know you have CFS when Medicare states that you're too sick for their coverage.
You know you have CFS when everyone is happy to give you a ride because they don't want you behind the wheel.
You know you have CFS when a passing funeral procession pauses to see if you need a lift.
You know you have CFS when people are constantly putting a mirror under your nose while you nap to see if you're breathing.

You know you have CFS when at 25, your colleagues that are 15+ years your senior and have kids, manage to do more on the weekends than you.
You know you have CFS when you get the vacuum out because, by golly, today's the day your going to DO SOMETHING, and then you have to lay down and get hubby to put the stupid thing away. Unused.
You know you have CFS when you don't have to buy books anymore. You simply re-read the books you have because you can't remember what you've already read.You know you have CFS when you wear out your pajamas before you do your pantyhose
