This is for you, Em.
This is for my cousin Karol!It has been a good weekend. And, I am hopeful for a good week!
I was able to see my friend Fred on Friday night! We had a really nice visit. Talked about his dad. Caught up on life and health issues. But, most importantly we laughed and hugged. Very nice.
Life goes too fast, you need those moments!
Yesterday, Kathy came up to visit with my sweet nephew J and my dad's sister, my Aunt Bea also came to visit! We had a fun afternoon of chit chat, watching the kids play outside and dinner at Houlihan's.
Today, Uncle K is here! We are watching the first half of Yankees day/night double header. We are having a BBQ for dinner with angus hamburgers, hot dogs, and lots of salads! :-)
You know, I haven't really done much all weekend, but it was FABULOUS!
I started a strict calorie driven weight loss program last Sunday. I just ordered a scale so I don't know how I am doing yet, but I do know my weight from my last doc's appt. Hopefully, it will be less than that when the scale arrives on Friday. We will see. I feel good. I am eating healthy. I need to get this prednisone weight off. I have been walking.
I had one day with a lot of pain, but so far so good. The RA is being quiet... Shhhh.... don't wake it. It is such a vicious cycle. You gain weight because of the meds, and when you exercise it aggravates the disease and starts a flare.
However, I have decided that I am going to do my damndest to push thru the pain and hopefully get to the other side. Pray for me. I need it!
My insurance woes are still not settled, hopefully soon, but I could use a few more prayers and positive thoughts there too!
Yikes! I sound so needy!
Sending prayers and happiness out to all of you, too!
Tomorrow, I will be getting the kids settled and organized for the first day of school on Wednesday! I think we are all ready for that! LOL
be well...
