Daily Doings~ Sunday Jan 27th | Arthritis Information

Good morning whispered, breakfast sounds great but as i have already eaten i'm just being greedy

Sorry to hear about the flu, just drinks lots of fluids and rest up. I hope you feel better soon.

We have lots of wonderful sunshine today which is great after so many dreary days.

My RA has flared after taking my enbrel on friday

Have a wonderful sunday

Well, it is 4:30 AM and sleep eludes me!  I did my mtx shot yesterday and it wiped me out for the evening.  I went from laying on the air mattress in the living room, to the computer, and to laying on Danny on the couch all night long lol.  No wonder why I can’t sleep now LOL!! 

I am looking forward to my morning cup of coffee much later this morning as Danny got Pumpkin Spice creamer at the grocery yesterday.  Yummy!  I think for breakfast I will make up some pancakes and hash browns.  Usually breakfast turns into Brunch as Danny sleeps in on Sundays since he has to work tonight.  Danny and the girls will most likely go to the library and I will stay home.  I send a list of books I want with them and they pick them up for me.  They will get a few movies to watch as there is just nothing to watch on TV on Sundays no matter how many channels you have lol.  We will stay snuggly warm this afternoon with movies and a big bowl of popcorn! I have been itching to challenge the family with my Sopranos board game lately.  So we might do that too.  Oh yes and there is the dreaded weekly grocery shopping and cage cleaning to be done. 

It seems our snow is going to melt!!!  The high for Monday is 47 with rain!!!  YAY!! HEAT WAVE!!  The dog will be sad that the snow is going to melt tho.  Crazy dog loves the stuff.  He loves to burrow thru it, chase snowballs…oh the look on his face when the snowball falls apart when he puts it in his mouth is priceless…and have snow thrown on him.  Yeah, he is a nutcase lol. 

I am hoping to have a good day physically.  Yesterday after my shot was a real doozy of a day so today will be better!!  I can only go up from here! 

Well wishes to everyone and I hope everyone has a good day today.  It is Sunday so pamper yourselves with a quiet relaxing day before the rat race of the week starts!!! 

Hi Liz- sorry you cant sleep, I quite enjoy being awake, when the whole house is sleeping, especially early hours of the morning, as i sit my chair by the window and watch the world wake up.Its so peaceful. Your sunday sounds restful, apart from the Shopping, we do ours on a friday so thank goodness its over. I have popped my roast beef in the oven to cook.Hubby is off to golf for a few hours and the kids are all doing various things today, so I am going to put my feet up and read my book I think and enjoy the sunshine.

Mmmmmmmmmm   Stew. Im hopping on the fast flight  for my dinner

We were talking to a friend last night who is off to San Francisco on business, we were chatting about food in different countries, my hubby couldnt get over New Yorks breakfasts. We ate in a deli every morning and all our breakfasts came with fried potato's ( very yummy) and if we ordered bacon, we got pancakes and syrup too ( an aquired taste I think) Now I have come back I am back to albran and bananas. The fried potatoes just put lots of weight on

Hubby and I scrubbed the kitchen yesterday in anticipation of my foster parents coming this afternoon from Alaska, on their way to the Caribbean - smart people.  My hubbie was blown away at my energy and how I was strong and worked hard.  Unfortunately, my right first finger looks like a sausage this am, but it will work its way down with gravity and time. 

Monitoring the Board from SWFL ~~ Cathy

Ahhh I am not alone in these sleepless nights...I sleep for 3 or 4 hrs and then my brain tells me it time to get up for the day. I just think and think and think and listen to my husband snore and get agitated.

When I did sleep I had bad dreams. I dreamed I was in pain all over and thought to myself Oh my gosh, I didn't even fully get over this flare and now I have another.

I would not care except tomorrow I am going back to work after being out for 2 months and I'm anxious enough without having to worry about working 9 hr. days on 4 hrs. of sleep.

Breakfast was an egg fried inside a hole of a piece of bread. With my appetite of late I'm sure to have something else too a little later. That was just so I could take my meds LOL.

I'm taking my son to Target around 10- he has a gift card burning a hole in his wallet.

I will do a bunch of ironing. I used to wear dresses to work but now I don't have suitable shoes that don't hurt. So now I have to iron all my pants.

Tonight my husband and I are having dinner out to celebrate my getting well and returning to work. I will have a MARTINI with the OK from my doctor. I had been told not to drink a drop while on the MTX but this new doctor said it is OK very occassionally. I will drink extra water today to flush my liver. I used to have a martini every night.

Better scoot- I like to watch Joel Osteen at 9AM on Sundays. His talks are very inspiring to me.

Have a GREAT DAY!

Goodmorning everyone!  It's nice to see some new names in here!! I couldnt sleep either, though mine was the opposite, I didnt go to bed till 2am...but DH and Kelsay let me sleep in.  Sat and Sun are my days to sleep in.  Not much going on today.   Gonna probably just continue working on some beading.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi all and welcome to the newbies.  Since remission has hit I've been sleeping and believe me that's a very unusual circumstance for me.  I've spent the last 3 years up each and every night.  Actually I'm not complaining because I did enjoy the quietness of the night but I also enjoy the restful 8 hours of sleep.

It's raining here in the southwest desert.  Has been raining all night and it doesn't look as if it will let up for awhile.  We were going to the lettuce festival today, yes, I said lettuce.  Yuma and the surrounding areas probably grow half of the lettuce consumed in the U.S. and there's a big festival in old town Yuma this weekend.  I'm not going outside with the rain.  Will read my new mystery, finish a necklace that I've started, and maybe do laundry. 

Need to get some breakfast now - cheerios and a banana, and some yogurt.  Much rather have Whispered's breakfast but I'm dieting.  Take care and have a wonderful Sunday.  Lindy

I did a bad thing. I indulged in grapes....THEY ARE SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE!!! But I haven't had them in forever, and I couldn't help myself. LoL

I am SOOOO TIRED. Ugh! My RD appt is bright and early tomorrow mornin. Whoopiieee!!!!

Aside from that....well nuthin really. I'm just tired. LoL I'm at work until 7 tonight, and I forgot to bring my book. Boooo hisss!!! I have no idea what I'm gonna do to entertain myself. Tttbbbttthhhh

TTYL kids!

[QUOTE=Debrakay]I'm watching the Patriots Rally too....Love those guys.  What's your take on Tom?[/QUOTE]

So there is a fellow Patriots fan on the board...In my opinion tom will be fine.  Apparently, at the rally, he was walking without the boot and without a limp. 

Edited to say that apparently there are two Patriots fans on the boards.

Good evening everyone...I missed the morning chatter.  I never get much sleep.  I am usually up by 4:00 AM..sometimes earlier with a max of 4-5 hours.

I have a very hectic day.  Went into work at 6:00 AM for an hour.  Then off to church to do some Hungarian cooking with the religious education classes. It is a large group program.  Kids are split into groups of three.  It was a very messy, very fun time.

Then off to another activity.  I am a junior youth group advisor at the church which meant 3 hours of hanging out and planning activities with an awesome group of kids.  They are doing a skit for a dinner show so there was much planning and rehearsing going on.

I am now very tired but had some cleaning up to do around the house.

I did have some drama for the day...I dye my hair red...yesterday was the appointment.  My hairdresser messed it up royally.  I am two tone.  she has been doing my coloring for 2 years without incident. I left her a voice message. 

Aww Patti, how bad is it??? I just had a hair dye fiasco...but I did it to myself.

I have one hour left of work, and then I have TWO DAYS OFF!!! Is it sad that I'm counting down the hours until I see the RD????

I had an idea for seeing her. Since I'm so terrible at getting out what I want to say. I think I'm going to take a deep breath, and imagine that I'm posting to you guys. LOL Cause then I'll get all the important stuff out!! Whatcha think? Too crazy???

Which reminds me, I still haven't looked at that video you sent, OR the food sites. I'm slackin'!!!

The good thing about messed up hair is that even if you can't fix it right now, it can always fix itself.  Might take a while, but it'll happen.

Tom is fine...and I mean FINE...LOL

Really, the rally was...okay. I thought it would me a little longer and a bit more exciting. That's alright...It's gonna be much more exciting next week. Yes, I'm a Pat's fan...and a RS fan all the way. I live in Massachusetts so what can I say.
