I click on the little Reply button and up comes the window and sometimes it has the blue 'e' in the corner and I type in a message. Then if I add emoticons the yellow triangle with the exclamation point in it appears and nothing will post and nothing can be copied off the message, basically it's lost in a frozen window. I have learnt not to add emoticons but sometimes even with just the blue 'e' in the lower left hand corner, when I press 'send message' it THEN changes to the yellow triangle and again I'm scr*wed. It's exhausting. Today I'm taking no chances and typing all replies on Word pad first so I can then just keep copying it into reply windows until one of them works. There's always a way eh?

As for my health, I admit I don't have a ton of patience with it. Not right now. I put up with so much and I get so bored sitting around/lying around so much, too tired to read or watch tv at times. CFS sucks and that's all there is to it. I get some better days and get stuff done but the ones where I'm immobile sure do drag. I'm relieved that yesterday I finally beaded the necklace I've had planned for 2 weeks. So long as I don't expect to accomplish any plans right away or even on the same day I seem to do good. The length of time it takes to do things really annoys me. I'm a go-getter by nature and hubby being a king procrastinator, the house is way shabby now because I used to paint it. To paint it now...my spirit is willing but my body may not cooperate at all. I just find it discouraging...how much I have to scale back my plans, over and over again. I know others do too. It's just hard right now. To want to do so much, just what I did even months or a year ago, not what a healthy person would. I can tell you one thing, wow did I take my body functioning well for granted. I sure don't any longer. Is that progress?
