Day Number 4

Hi! Wel, it's day number 4 on Prednisone... for those that have been on it, I'm sure you can emphathize with me. For those that haven't, hmmm.... yes, it's a wonder drug, and can quickly aid and reduce inflammation and discomfort in many diseases and disorders such as asthma (my case), IBS, arthritis and numerous others.... but, the side effects are little to be desired. The bloating, the mood swings, the "super woman/man syndrome". If taken chronically paper-thin skin and the moon face result along with fatty deposits particularly in the hips and tummy. Well, what I am going to talk about is the superwoman syndrome... I got up at 7 am this morning and have not stopped.... I started with cleaning my BF's bathroom floor (on my hands and knees, BTW) then I went home and....... started tearing my place apart... laundry, dishes, made banana bread, vacuumed out my PT Cruiser, put the seats back in my PT, swept the kitchen, BR, LR , den, hall and the boys BR.... washed the kitchen, den, LR and BR floor. I cleaned the tub and the porcelain throne....... and the basin.....I took out the trash...... I played outside with the dog..... I helped the cat "Blacky" out from under the porch.... then had to help her out from under it again.... (I think I blocked up the holes)... I made Mac and cheese for dinner (from scratch). I cleaned out the fridge....... Hmmmmm...... Oh, in between I sat and started on the Bejeweled scarf, I found in my stash some Sublime mohair handdyed..... looks pretty cool.

Well, last evening I managed to test out my lungs...went for a 2.5 mile run with my BF.... didn't want to go alone just in case of trouble..... did ok.... had to do a couple of walk breaks....... but overall was pleased...... the weather was so nice, high 50's wore shorts and a bright orange sleeveless top. Who would've thought that in January? Then we went back popped in a Freschetta pizza ( the new one multigrain wheat crust) and watched Murderball DVD. I finished up sock #1 of the K2P2 using 2 circulars...... I like that method and am looking forward to starting the 2nd.

Well, it's back to work tomorrow, maybe I'll get to relax!
