I cannot believe that I've finally mustered up the guts to start this online journal or 'blog' as some call it. What the hell *IS* a blog anyway? It sounds more like the sounds my stomach makes on a bad IBS day than something you'd want to read, doesn't it? Now that I've started this I guess I should add entries here from time to time. An exercise in discipline for me; possible torture for you, dear reader so I will warn you in advance. Some times I tend to get wordy. Especially when I am venting. I *have* gotten better at controlling myself, however a few cuss words may show up on a particularly angry day so if the written bad word offends you, simply ignore my writings for that day. In posting to this blog I'm doing things sorta backward - you see, I'm STILL in the process of compiling my fibro bio leading up to now, the present time, and it's taking me a lot longer to put my story into a legible format while conveying what it's like to be me and how I got here. Still learning how this all works has me a wee bit shy (yeah, ME. shy!) to divulge much in print so I'll just say for now: Welcome to my Blog! Enjoy your stay and come back soon. (maybe by then I'll have this thing figured out)
