Working Fibro Mom

We are going through another reorganization at work. My manager got displaced, so the team I’m on is being disbanded. I will find out Friday where I go from here. My job is safe, but my job duties will most probably change and my teammates and I are expecting to be split apart. Maybe it’s [...]

Well, I started June with the goal of walking a total of 50 miles.  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to keep up to such a grand goal, only walking when it’s not too hot and when I wake up early enough to do it before I go to work.  However, my daughter who goes to [...]
