Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.
This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.
Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.
I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.
For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

Seriously. Check it out:
Hey, I was skeptical about this too. But there really is no cost to start your own mall. Your mall will have about 1400 stores in it. Kmart, Target, Bealls Department Store. Lots. You'll be shopping in your own mall at your leisure, and getting rebates to do so. Target, for instance is 7% rebate. (Employees only get 10%, so that's not too bad.)
You can buy cell phones and service from yourself at your mall. Even Time Warner Cable.
The other night on our TV, Time Warner advertised their digital cable for $20 a month (or $60 for 3 months). I found that same digital cable for $39.95 for 3 months, plus a rebate on top of that. Not bad.
The mall is big. Most malls don't have 1400 stores! But if that's too overwhelming, you can also shop local stores and find what you want, then look up the SKU to see if you can buy from your own mall. Pretty cool.
I was going to buy a pair of shoes I wanted from a catalog. They are shoes I've wanted and can't find anywhere. But even so, I've been putting off buying them. Don't you know, I can buy from that catalog in my mall. Same price, but I'm getting a 10.5% rebate. Love it.
Perhaps it's because I've worked in retail stores on and off during the years. Sometimes as a second job, sometimes as my main source of income. Anyway, I developed a loathing for shopping in real stores anywhere between...say...November 1 and January 1. I hate the crowds. I hate rude people. Oh, I'll go to hear choirs sing or take a child to see Santa. But I really, really, really don't like shopping at that time of year.
I used to make sure all my Christmas shopping was finished by November 1 at the latest. But I haven't done that lately. So...I love the idea of being able to stroll in an online mall bigger than any real malls I've been in and with only one customer - me.

If you're interested in earning a few bucks besides having your own mall, be sure to check out the business mall information on the above site.
As I mentioned before, my son has checked out every message board he can find and every scam alert and can find nothing negative about this opportunity.
Remember, stop in here about those gift points:
