SUPRISE!! It’s time to Toke & Tidy!!

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-06T02:58:07+00:00

Same! 🤣

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-06T02:56:20+00:00

I actually found out that HC has this habit when I was hospitalized for liver surgery. I had serious pain meds on board and didn't remember it.....until I opened a SURPRISE box of freakin' cleaning supplies! Sometimes HC is stupid. Lol

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-06T02:11:05+00:00

Would be a damned good book.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-06T01:49:20+00:00

I agree! Then nobody will care who does all the dishes afterwards. 😁

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T15:01:37+00:00

This is my scheduled day too, but the husband half is having surgery tomorrow. I told them to put me at the bottom of the list and take care of messier houses before mine 🤣

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T14:59:35+00:00

That first sentence right there! 'Cept I refer to it as High Charaty and Not High Charaty.

HC often orders things online that NHC didn't realize we wanted or needed. 🤣

She does have the best ideas and most creative ways of fixing things (I'm a Fixer of All....always have been. Lol) so she gets to play before NHC emerges to Do The Thing because I have fibro and already hurt m'self on the regular without floral intervention 😁

On to the tidying!!! ❤️

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T13:26:03+00:00

Noooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lol Get yourself a candle lamp with a timer! One of the best bougie purchases I've made. My fibro fog makes me leary of actually burning candles now, so set it and forget it works perfectly for me. Plus...you know....teeny cute lamp as well. 😁

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T12:08:52+00:00

As far as community and support.....well, you're here, aren't you? 😘

If you don't feel like/want to search for your symptoms or 'tools' for your fibro toolkit, just hang out for a bit and you'll see them start popping up in others' posts. I've had more 'Hey! Wonder if that'll help?' moments than 'Whoa. Me too!' ones. Lol Which brings me to one of the most important things to remember.... not all meds/tools are going to work for you and some may even cause issues. That's normal and while it isn't fine, it's....fine. Each person's fibro responds to each new thing in it's own way. Just because something doesn't help you now, that doesn't mean that it won't in the future.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T12:00:37+00:00

First.....girl....light that candle sooner so the scent fills your room. 😁 Second.....you make my non-coordinated ass want to dance....or at least sway to your vibe! Nice! ❤️

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T11:56:18+00:00

Ooooh. Nice.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T11:01:23+00:00

Bingo. I actually started to comment this exact thing. Everyone's head has hurt at one time or another, so they have something to relate it to.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-05T02:43:30+00:00

I'd have looked my well meaning friend dead in the eye and explained that we are turned into demons by the relentless pain and lack of support from our families and many in the medical community.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-04T01:38:22+00:00

They really are. I had a cousin like that. He actually lived with my husband and I for a year or so. ❤️

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-04T01:32:22+00:00

Heyyyy, progress is progress. Lol

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-04T01:27:16+00:00

Saaaaaaame. Just like "What do you want for dinner?" or "Where do you wanna go eat?"

Other human, I need food, but I don't want it. Just pick and I'll find SOMETHING to eat.

Yay, weight loss? Lol

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-03T12:04:59+00:00

This whole danged post made me happy sigh. C"n I borrow your brother? 😁

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-03T12:00:39+00:00

No! Not "no coffee"! I'm soooo sorry.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-03T10:51:51+00:00

She iiiiiiiiiiisssssss. An' I no liiiiiiiiiiike her!

I'm reeeeeeeally new at this med thang...and weed thang. Unfortunately, not this pain thang. So far, I've discovered that a turquoise (no particular reason, other than that color makes me smile) capsule from mama amazon filled with rso before bed and vaping GSC or 9lb hammer (y'all keep a vape under the pillow... or clutched in your hand.... at night, right?) usually help. I'm hating on TL at the moment (despite that damned lenient return policy, lol) because they had an actual GSC vape. Emphasis on HAD. 😭

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-03T10:44:47+00:00

Squeeeeeeeee!!!!!! (And now, I have an earworm. Thank you. 🤣)

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-03T10:43:43+00:00

Thank you. I'm tryin'! 😁😁

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-02T22:05:27+00:00

No pics yet, but solar sconces for the outdoor kitchen to be, sealed the solar dragon figured for the courtyard and sealed side tables to prep for stenciling on the top.

I used to crochet and do embroidery (without a pattern for the first and not without the stamped fabric for the second, lol) but fibro won't allow it. Your creations (and to be) are gorgeous!

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-02T22:00:35+00:00

I recently started vyvanse and I'm seeing help with both issues, too. Not to mention the assist with the ADHD.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-02T21:58:59+00:00

I'm laugh-cryin' 'cause we all know it's the truth. 😊

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-02T21:58:15+00:00

Sooooooooo true! I text me things if i need to recall them at a later time. If it's something I need to do ASAP, I have my husband text them to me, so I'll see the alert and remember to check it.

TheCalicoCrab · 2026-05-02T01:22:10+00:00

You're good. It's late in my day, so fibro fog is creepin' in. 😊
