A morning spent with the zebra.

I haven't written anything about my fibromyalgia symptoms for a while but I guess today is the best day to start again. 
I woke up at 5 am, my new normal but this morning didn't go as planned. I felt fine, a little tired but still fine. I got my morning shower and was trying to get dressed when it hit me.  I was suddenly very light headed, and dizzy.  My legs felt like straws trying to hold the weight of a bowling ball.  It was only the closest wall that saved me from crashing to the floor.  Still I was able to keep calm and throw on my dress.
Staggering like a drunken fool, trying to avoid stepping on my cat, I some how made it to my bed and painfully crashed into it.
Wrapped in my zebra blanket, I spent the next three hours dozing in and out of consciousness.  When my spoiled little cat decided that I had slept enough,  she smacked me in the head. Walking only a few steps in front of me,  she lead the way into the kitchen. Watching my every move with annoyed boredom,  she waited while I struggled to clean her litter box.  Thank God for the walls in this house.  After my chores were done I staggered back to bed and dozed again for another hour. 
Now except for pain in my neck and back,  damn pillows,  I feel fine. That is not to say that I am up and walking again.  I intend to keep trying to get up and stay up all day if I have to.  I'm starting to get hungry.  What better motivation can you ask for?
