#atoz challenge 4/6/2017  "Changes"

E is for every day of my life and how I've learned to pace myself - Energy
I'm like a kid in a candy shop when we land somewhere new.  By the time we get set up, I'm ready to get out and see everything the area has to offer.  I've quickly learned that this is a great way for exhaustion to sink in.  Having fibromyalgia means that I have to pace myself or I'll end up in bed.  

I've learned to tamper my excitement with a better routine.  Our first night at a new campground is set up, an easy dinner and adult beverages around the campfire.  My second day, I take care of household items, such as meal planning or grocery shopping.

Then, the excitement really kicks in.  I get to pull out my list of places to see and things to do and start planning on visits.  And I've been so fortunate already.  This summer will be a mix of quiet and exciting.  We'll see how it works for us.

​We hope that you enjoy this blog and take the opportunity to read other parts about our travels.  You can click www.our-simple-life.com to read all about our adventures!

The effects of fibromyalgia are not well known as a member of our family can testify,
I have reached an age when an hours exertion is enough for me.

Oooph. Sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia. Guard your energy carefully!
I get a lot of energy on planes. I can't sleep even if I was exhausted before getting on because I get all hyped up. Doesn't matter if I'm going somewhere or returning home either.

I've flown all over the world and I'm still terrified of flying, lol. I'm exactly the opposite. I need to sleep to get through it, so I usually take something to help me sleep.
