Had a bad night :(

My body was having all kinds of spasums. I shook from head to toe. I'd just about fall to sleep and then the shaking would start again. It's suppose to rain here today and I can tell it. I hurt all over and I am tired. I hate when I have those kind of nights. I wanted to get started on painting my kitchen cabinets. But it doesn't look like I am going to get to do that today.
I found a good paint color. It is a really light taupe. It's almost white. It is going to be the ticket in brightening things up. Right now the cabinets are a dark burgandy. It is almost maroon. Got a new faucet for the sink and hubby put it on. No more buckets under the sink or going to the bathtub to fill dishpans. Yeah!
Main TV went on the fritz last night. Have to watch the one in the bedroom. Have a big whole in the garage door that dog dug. So that needs to be replaced. What else is going to go wrong? It is never ending. If the economy was better, I would just go get a home improve it loan and start all over. But that aint going to happen.
Well, hope everyone else has a better Tuesday. Hugs, Irish

Irish, it sounds like you are on your way to improvements.

The cabinets can wait a little longer until you feel better.

Doing the improvements slowly will only make you appreciate them more when they are done.

Feel better soon.
Sparkle on.

I am so sorry about those spasms. I get them too. Sometimes I feel like I could dance my way right out of bed. They wake me up also. I hope yours improve. Do you take a muscle relaxer? I take skelaxin & it helps me.

That cabinet color sounds great. Put it off a few days until your spasms are better or you'll have paint all over & it will take twice as long.

I am in the same boat as you with home repairs. First it was the dishwasher, then the fridge, then the AC. I hope that is it for a while.

Try to sparkle on, if you can! (((((hugs)))))

How ambitious you are..Just take it slow and easy. I started recently taking Flexeril and it has helped me a lot. Has the doctor prescribed any meds for your spasms?

we're thinking about doing the same thing to our cabinets. Wanted to get new ones and forget that when we found out how much that would cost; then we decided to have them refaced and that too we decided against as boy that was expensive too. Painting it shall be. I'm thinking of going with the medium taupe. Take your time and don't over do it.
You are having a ruff time of it lately, that is for sure. I will remember to add you to my prayer list too. Take care and hope that tomorrow brings you a lower pain day and a much better day. God Bless

Thanks. I still am having a tough time of sleeping. I think tonight I will take a flexerile. I am surprised that my hubby can go to sleep with me jurking and twitching. but he does seem to manage. He told me last night that he would help me with the kitchen. He knows how hard ti is for me and he agrees that the kith=chen needs something. Hugs, Irish
