Okay. Rick Levine, you can be honest with me. Are you reading my blog then coming up with Twittascopes that match what’s going on in my life?
Case in point – here’s my Twittascope for today:
It’s challenging today to know when to stop, especially if you fall into an enjoyable groove while getting things done.
Others might even think you’re a workaholic, while the truth is that you’re just having fun. Nevertheless, you can overdo it now and ruin a good thing.
low down or you could be exhausted by tomorrow.
When did I read it? At 10:40 pm, sitting in bed where I’ve been most of the day working on videos and promotion for the Online Knit Classes, and I realize that it’s time to sleep. Yes, Rick, I hear and I obey…
I can see how easy it would be to fall into the bad habit of pushing hard on good Fibro days, then paying for it for the next 2 days.
Today I sent out my monthly newsletter, sent a blast out to my Online Knitting Class network and completed another video for the Universal Mitered Bag class. A few months ago that would have been a morning’s work.
But today it took me many hours, and I’m exhausted. The fact that I did most of it from my bed makes it easier, but it astounds me how tired I get now after a few hours of concentrated mind work.
The good news is that the Vitamin D is working well, I’m sleeping a bit better (yay!) and right now the pain is pretty much centered in my upper back/neck. Yeah, baby, I know why you come here…
So, quickly before I slip off to slumberland, here’s the news:
I’m just sayin’…
Here’s what a current student says about the January class:
“I’ve been playing around with your videos this morning and I finally learned how to cable without a cable needle. Thank you!! I am thrilled. The only problem with not being in a class is nobody is around to see me do a happy dance!”
The four week class consists of 17 videos, many pdf handouts, and 2 mp3 lectures. During the FULL MONTH of your class you will have 24-hour access to all the class materials at our private Combination Class Network, as well as 2 live text chats per week.
I’ve lowered the price for
ALL of the Combination classes to $50.

Dear Annie-
I too have Fibro & have been working around it for years. I haven’t figured out all the answers but it is important to pace yourself – don’t overdue on a good day to pay the next. Set goals and use that to complete your to-do list. Tomorrow is always another day. I have found that Aleve or a generic form of that works well for muscle pain. A husband provided massage is very nice and a nice soak in a lavender scented mineral bath works well too!
Good luck to you – you are such a “trooper” and I admire you.

Just had another thought after reading down farther on the blog – call your LYS & see if they know anyone that would swap cleaning for a knitting class or lessons? I would do it if I lived close to you but alas I am in Indiana!
Pace yourself – the mental part is hard, no doubt, but you will work through that too – magnesium helps with anxiety & depressing thoughts.
Take good care
Laura
