Cooking eggs with Fibromyalgia

Lift the heavy milk…

Crack the eggs…

Mix them up…

Butter…

Scramble…

Back aching, aching, stabbing after 2 minutes…

Bad mood creeping in after 5…

Right leg spasm…

Put the clothes in the dryer real fast in an attempt to multitask…

Left arm groaning from the movement after a bout of maybe tendinitis the last two weeks…

Earplugs on to ward off unfriendly (ANY) noise…

Irritation that ALL and everything is THIS hard and just shouldn’t be…

Dish the finished eggs onto a paper plate,

Salt and pepper,

Go to the bedroom to eat, but feel exhausted after just that brief activity.

The eggs sit untouched,

Appetite ruined by the reminder of sickness.

Feet aching from standing.
