Random Me



Me, today. :)
  1. I was back to the doctor today for cortisone shots in my thumbs.  Anyone else have osteoarthritis?  Having it in the hands runs in my family.  Every time I go in to see my arthritis doctor (Sandy Wolfe, M.D. if you're local), he tells me I'm pretty young to be there!  ha. I tell him I think that, too, when all the others in the waiting room could be my  grandparents. :)  My blood pressure is good, 118/72, so at least I know I'll still live forever like I plan to...I'll just live with painful hands. lol. Actually, the cortisone lasts about 2 years, so that isn't too bad for maintenance!
  2. What gorgeous snow we have!  I think I'm the only one that does not have spring fever!  Why would I want my spring allergies to kick in? And all that yard work?..ugh.  I don't have time to get all my indoor chores done. ha. Actually, I love spring...each season is wonderful in it's own way!  But I've never been one to wish away a season, pining for the next.  Except when wishing summer would turn to fall.  I will admit to doing that!
  3. I spent three hours this week at our local Social Security office with my proof of guardianship of our boys, their IEP papers, birth certificates and medical records.  Things went smoothly and I'm thankful for that.  Even after 19 years with these boys of mine, some days it hits me how much hard work they have been.  But the size of the work certainly doesn't outweigh this mother's heart. :) 
  4. Tomorrow (Friday) is the first day in a while that I have nothing written on my calendar.  Looking forward to being home alone and puttering around here.  Even doing laundry sounds wonderful.  haha.  I need to replant a purple shamrock that jumped into my cart at the grocery.  And it's probably time to take down the Valentine's stuff, don't you think? :)
