It is a gray, cloudy day here, with a storm front moving in.  Weather affects arachnoiditis like it does many other conditions, so this is an elevated pain level day, as well.  The gray clouds, though, intensify the new spring greens of leafing out trees and newly sprouted grass until it almost glows. I suppose it is somewhat of a trade-off, even if not a very good one.  I am not going to try to go to church today. I know from experience that I can't sit through it on a day like today, even with my cushion and a chair instead of the pew. Maybe next Sunday.
