Today better than yesterday
Today was better than yesterday. Only because yesterday was what I will nicely call NOT FUN. Had a CT scan and the barium drink absolutely tore my gut up. Argh. Felt achy the rest of the day and very tired. And as a result, I lost more poundage from it. Think I was the lightest I've been yet in this process. Sometimes the weight doesn't make ( Read more... ) -
Rain
It's raining again, which is great news. The bad news is it often gives me a headache, which is what I have right now. Either that or my cold is going into my sinuses. But I suspect the rain -- or not rain so much as the clouds/atmospheric pressure. Good news is that this is the first headache I've had since I went off the other steroid. And ( Read more... ) -
Manicure time!
I quit getting manicures quite a few years back, mainly because it was so hard to try to keep the polish from chipping. I tried the gel color once and didn't like how I had to peel it off my nails, along with the top layer of nailbed. I've contented myself instead by keeping my toenails polished. But with winter and no sandals, it didn't seem ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in Cooking
Today, I made Chicken bone broth. It's in the fridge cooling, so I haven't tasted it yet. Bone broth is supposed to be VERY healing to the gut. I used chicken thigh bones and then I had some frozen back bones that I'd been saving for gravy, so I used all those. Simmered it all day, then took the meat off the bones and made chicken tacos/salad ( Read more... ) -

So Absent ...
So 2016 is about to exit the stage, thank god. It's been pretty much a year from hell, and apparently not just in my house. I've read post after post lamenting how bad a year it's been on all fronts. Don't know if that makes me feel better, though. ;-D I'm so glad to see 2016 leave, but admit to feeling a bit of trepidation about 2017. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Step forward, fall back
Damn, I was feeling so much better and stronger, and the weight was inching upward ounce by ounce, and then I guess I got overconfident and ate things on Thanksgiving that I probably shouldn't have and I've been paying for it ever since. Lost about 3 pounds since then. So depressing! Doc wanted me to go back on the steroids if I didn't improve, ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I feel I may be emerging from a tunnel -- or more appropriately, maybe, that I've been tryingg to cross a rickety rope & wood-slatted suspension bridge swaying in the wind, terrified to fall, unable to walk upright, only able to crawl a few steps at a time. I won't say I've made it across this bridge yet, but I think I've gotten to my feet ( Read more... ) -
RAIN!!!!
The title speaks for itself. Nuff said.
On 2nd thought, there can never be enough said right now on this subject -- RAIN!!!!! It's raining, it's pouring, and we'e all so happy.
Rain, rain, don't go away.
And please, come again another day, too!
