We had planned on getting a bunch of things done today, but as usual we were both tired beyond belief. Upon waking up, we found out that the concert we were to attend tonight was rescheduled (to see Sick Puppies at Rams Head), due to - GET THIS - Artist Illness. How ironic is that?
So, we decided to have a well deserved date night instead. We went to Chipotle for dinner, then to Maggie Moo's for ice cream and to the movies to see Unknown. It was a wonderful date night...ending with coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
In a way, I'm so relieved that the concert got rescheduled. I'm limping pretty bad right now. My left hip is all jacked up, and so is my left knee. Plus, I think I may have re-broken the big toe on my right foot. It's been a torturous pain-filled day. But, I got to spend it with my prince and that's always a bonus.
We've been talking a lot lately about our future together. He asked me a few days ago if I'd mind picking out my engagement ring when it comes time for that. I was awe-struck and my heart jumped into my throat. It takes a lot to leave me speechless, but this did it. I had jokingly told Sonny a few months back that I didn't care if he proposed with a ring pop, so long as he would one day be my husband. He was fine with that idea because it's the much cheaper option lol.
So even if my body is against me in this journey, I have all the strength and love I'll ever need - right next to me...holding me up (literally and figuratively) and encouraging me along this little path. I love him so much. I can't thank God enough for sending me this angel into my life when I needed it the most. And one day I'll be his wife, and the step-mother to his wonderful son.
My health problems may have taken away a great deal from me...but the part of me that's still in here is so totally amazing. I'm blessed and I'm so happy that things will be getting better and better...and soon!
Ahhh, life with Chronic Illness & Pain... I thank God every day for the great network of family and friends who support me through this. Lupus may try to bend me; but it will never break me! Fighting my way through AutoImmune hell w/ MCTD, Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, and that rapidly evolving 'Lupus-like' Bully that is trying to ruin my life. Follow me if you dare down the weird and twisted journey of living with chronic pain...
