Filofax Love...Fibro & Running...hmmmm

So time has passed...many exciting things have occured; I have discovered the pure joy of Filofax...ok more specifically I have become a Filofax Whore!!!...So here is a view of my Filo-family :)

My lovely Finsbury personal...<3

My Domino A5 <3

Oh and my A5 Metropol...lol...


I was surprised at my sudden passion aka addiction- for the Filofax after having owned a personal Domino for several years and not using it to it's full potential *hangs head in shame* but I saw the Finsbury personal and it was all a blur from there, now I don't know how I would have managed without them! I am not quite as organised as I want to be but am alot closer than I was a few month's ago, much to the relief of my other half.

My Fibromyalgia is hazardous, frustrating, a royal pain, a challenge...I could go on, but in particular it has been such a barrier to living in general...pesky thing. However I in my infinite wisdom decided that I would no longer be held back by my Fibro and would begin the Couch to 5k I have the valid reason to never have to attempt it...somewhat the very reason I seem to want to...I searched and searched for useful information on running with Fibromyalgia so when I came across; http://fighterzblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/running-with-fibromyalgia-just-keep-running/
Which gave me some level of hope that I won't always be destined to light activity...Drs orders- how bloody depressing?!

Otherwise I have spent my time discovering the world of blogging...mainly reading, learning various new crafts...card making, knitting, jazzing my personal planner etc etc etc...

What have you been up to? Are you overcoming any challenges?

Soft kitty, warm kitty...

...Little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty. Purr purr purr. 

Today I am writing about our 3 newest additions who joined us on the 17th October 2012...This picture was the day we picked up The 3 amigos,


The 3 Amigos...L-R: Deirdre, George & Willow.

As I already have 2 older cats
Tricky
  
Jedi
   

Who us???

It was a big decision to get 3 kittens but very much worth it, suffering from a Chronic pain condition (fibromyalgia) I find that they are a wonderful & therapeutic distraction on the bad days...like today, they are all very sensitive & have spent much of the morning on the bed with me...I know that once they have had their cat-nap they will proceed to transform into gremlins...running around the house, dangling off the curtains...jumping on the door frames & terrorising the older cats, thankfully both Tricky & Jedi have taken to the wee brood extremely well after a period of integration aka Tricky & Jedi mostly hissing or gently batting at the oblivious kittens who simply back off & await the next opportunity to bat at the unsuspecting victims tail...I half expect to find Jedi shooting through the house with the 3 kittens on her back he he he. I did invest in Pam Johnson-Bennett's 'Cat vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat'...this book has been invaluable to understanding how to keep all peaceful & calm as much as possible in a multi cat household (purchased from www.amazon.co.uk) as well as understanding the dynamics of said household.

Are you a cat or dog person? Do you have an unusual pet?
