Staying home today

We had a rough night, for various reasons, including noisy cats. It was after 9 when hubby got up. I am having lots of assorted pains, blaming it on Fibromyalgia and the cold weather, so I took a muscle relaxer. I will still muddle through a lot of things, one step at a time. I will take Monday, January 30th off, thinking my nieces may be involved in cleaning out my sister's home. That is the day we are supposed to have it all out. I am helping as much as possible, but my brother keeps reminding me it is their job. I know that, but have a hard time letting it go.

You are a loving sister, so of course it's your job, too. Good on you. Poo on your brother.

Nothing wrong with taking time for yourself. It's just as important I think.

I'm so sorry. You're going through a lot of physical and emotional pain right now. Try to rest when you can.

I hope that you are feeling better today. I don't have fibromyalgia so I don't know the pains that come with that but with cold and wet weather my arthritis gives me fits. Like today, it's 40F and raining and my hands, knees, hip, and ankle are aching. I am sure that your nieces will appreciate your help with your sister's home.

Yes, it's their job but it depends on the relationship you have with her.

It is just something that needs done. Sad that they have such a short time frame to get that done

That's because you were sisters and spent a lot of time together.

I understand, I always like to feel I'm doing my part as part of the family.

It's everyone's job. Who is the executor? That's the person that usually calls the shots. I hope you feel better soon.

Cold weather does make muscles stiff maybe your brother meant that you could rest

Hope all the pains get better soon - may warmer weather go out your way. Don't overdo it and rest up as much as you can. Surely your nieces would appreciate any help.

All the very best to you and I hope the pain gets better. I think it would be good for you to be involved in the cleaning, Perhaps there is something you might like to have from your sister as a special remembrance, I hope you have a good start to the new week and many blessings,
