Grey skies....sleepiness

Yes, I'm posting late today. My niece stayed with me again last night but this time I was able to get a few hours of sleep before I picked my mother up from work today. I dropped her off at home after stopping at the local Dairy Queen and getting one of their flavored ice drinks called Arctic Rush. I had a watermelon one while I ordered a lemon-lime for Billy. I knew that we both couldn't have very much of the treats so I ordered us each a medium size. When my mom and I arrived at the drive-thru window and the lady handed us the cups, we both just looked at each other. The mediums were the same size as the larges! After I dropped Mom off at home, I drove home myself and split mine with my niece. We played on the computers a bit. Then I got her interested in a book written by a fellow author who is also a part of a writer's group with me. Once Chris was ready, we went out to eat and then dropped her off at home.

I fought all day to stay awake so that I could take my medicine on time. The past few days have been really hard on me with the weather changing a bit combined with the fact I am no longer taking anything for my arthritis right now. The doctor and I want to make sure that my legs aren't swelling for some really dangerous reason. Therefore, we're crossing things off one thing at a time. I told Chris when we got home today that I would almost take the extra few pounds of water weight and deal with it if I could have taken just one Celebrex to help me move easier. I had wanted to get a few more loads of laundry done as well as a little bit of cleaning the house this week. So far, I haven't been able to do any of it. I am glad that I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so that I can let the doctor know everything that has gone on this week. Hopefully I will be able to do something about the stiffness instead of just taking the pain medication. Plus I will also be able to type better than I am right now. It's taken me a long time to just type this entry so far.

Thanks for the comments. I do appreciate them very much. (23!!!!!!!!!) Lol, inside joke. Sorry. But answer one of the comments, I am reading the Harry Potter series. I'm currently on book 2 of the series and working my way back through them. I didn't intend to read them before book 7 has been rumored to be released. It just kinda happened that way. I did put the reading and the writing on hold to watch the two hour special of Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes that was on television tonight. Oh, how I enjoy his writings. Not everyone does and that's okay. But I have since I was a little girl. I think I will love his works until the day I die. I'm off to take another couple pain pills. Then I'm going to read until I fall asleep. I'll try and update after my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Take care of yourselves.

Love and blessings,
Kim
