Friday Ramble

I've been out of sorts lately.  I'm on fire - and not in a good way.  My RA has been flaring the last few days, and I'm in pain, on fire, and want to cry.  I couldn't shovel yesterday - had to call Jason to help.  Today I shoveled and at the rate this snow is coming down... looks like I will have to shovel again tonight.

I took some Prednisone yesterday.  I'm burning on the edges now, would take more, but the pills were expired and the drug store I use is closed this week.  At least the major fires have stopped.  I got some sleep last night.  I really feel the painful burning/fire at night when I'm sleeping.  Guess that's because my body is stopped, compared to the movement during the day - right now just my left shoulder is burning.  The pills also make me very, very hungry.  Kicked me out of ketos yesterday.  Very glad for those sticks - so helpful.

Yesteray had:
B - scrambled eggs with mushrooms and celery, 2 sausages, tea
3 thumbprints with nc pb and jam*
S - protein bar*
S - pepperitte*
L - ground chicken, asparagus, pasta, tea
S - pepperitte*
D - 1 lupin/cheese pancake with ground chicken, bok choy
1 lupin/cheese pancake with nc pb and jam*, tea
S - jello, protein bar*, hot shake*(?)

All those * are things I didn't really need.  All allowable, but really too much. Most of my eating was tired and empty feeling hunger.

Today is better.  So far:
B - 1/4 cup High fiber cereal, 1/2 cup almond milk
L - 4 Spinach bread, 3 with a bit of cream cheese salmon, 1 with bit of nc pb and jam, 2 hard boiled egg whites, coffee with caramel milk (Waldern's no carbs)
Planning for dinner - chicken, spinach, salad with dressing, tea and for snack either chicken or egg or soup.

Went shopping at Costco before the snows came.  Got lots of chicken of course, and greens, and other household stuff.   Cooked up 7 chicken breasts, making cauliflower soup and a cauli/broccoli soup.  Got eggs - cooked some of those up too.

With this blizzard currently coming down looks like I will be getting more exercising.   Oh, had to change the pills Dr B suggested for ones with a bit more 'up' - green tea extract in them.  I'm just too down and tired.  Though I know some of my tired is the flares, I just can't continue with being so wiped.  LOOK, there's a break in the blizzard!  The snow is lightly falling....at the moment.

For Christmas Jax got a stuffed dog that is twice his size. (among other toys of course)  It's funny to watch him play with it.  He grabs a leg, drags it, and shakes it.  Have to keep him entertained!
