Just posted an update, but wanted to stop in here too.


Things are going well. Just started to cut back on prednisone today, so we will see what happens with that. Feel pretty good though, all things considered.


It is hot here in Boston this week. Supposed to be in the 90s. Guess the air will have to go back on when we get home. Oh well. It will be cold soon enough.


Counting down the days till my vacation. Can't wait to go to Disney and more importantly be out of the office for over 2 weeks. Woohoo!!!

Hi!

I am doing OK. I was feeling good and keeping quite busy the last few days, and then WHAM! Am I ever paying for it now! But those few days were grand.

It is hot and humid here in Michigan. I'm looking forward to the leaves turning colors and the weather cooling down. I'm hoping we can take a drive up north and see all the colors -- beautiful!

I have discovered my Windows Media Player and have been jammin' to "oldies" from my Era...the 70's. What fun! With each song, I say, "Here's what I was doing when this song first came out..." Oh, brother!

Hope everyone has a good rest of September! Take care of yourselves.

MYRA, I WILL USE CAPS JUST FOR YOU!!! I AM NOT HOLLERING!! ;O)

I AM BACK FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION AND SEEING EMMY. THE REUNION WAS REALLY FUN. LOTS OF CLASSMATES REMINICING ON WHO HAD CRUSHES ON WHOM!!! HEEHEE!!

EMMY AND JULIA, AND DIL ARE DOING REAL WELL.

I AM TOTALLY EXHAUSTED. MY HANDS AND FINGERS ARE REALLY SWOLLEN. NECK AND BACK ARE HURTING TOO. I JUST NEED TIME TO RECOVER FROM SO MUCH TRAVELING AND ACTIVITY. I WILL BE FINE.

IT IS 79 DEGREES HERE AND I AM LOVING IT! I KNOW WE ARE NOT DONE WITH THE 100 DEGREE TEMPS YET, THOUGH. :O( I AM SO READY FOR FALL.

OUR SACRAMENTO SPCA HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF ANIMALS FROM THE EVACUATED AREAS. JUST BREAKS MY HEART. THEY ARE GOING TO PUT THEM ON THE INTERNET IN HOPES OF REUNITING PETS WITH THEIR OWNERS.

LA AND THE POWER OUTAGE HAS BEEN ON THE NEWS TODAY. IS ANYONE AFFECTED BY THIS?

I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE.

HUGS,
VICKI

Hi! I can't believe we're already half way through September already. The girls are all settled in their new classrooms and things are calming down a bit. My brother is out visiting from Michigan and we just got back from a long weekend in San Diego. It was so nice to have a little break. We stayed in a beautiful hotel on the beach in La Jolla. I could SO get use to that, lol! We did it all! I was a little wiped out, but amazingly enough my feet didn't hurt too bad, considering all the walking we did. Enbrel is really working well for me. I do miss my Celebrex though and have been taking Naproxen and Tylenol as needed. My brother, who also suffers from RA, is going to be starting MTX in a few weeks. Hopefully all will go well. He's really worried about the nausea often associated with it. I told him to check out this board once in a while and talk to others who are taking it.

So that's it from my end of the world. Hope everyone else is feeling well.

ARGHH I posted a lovely long update and it got lost....

So I'll just post the reader's digest version.

I can't believe September is flying by as well. We are back to living in our normal "chaos" of school, activities, catechism (I teach gr.4), PTA etc...
And I'm dusting off the inside and outside of our house after these reno's we've had done. So I'm glad to be back in our normal routines.

I have a rhuemy appt today. I was thinking my Enbrel's shelf life in this body is wearing thin, so I'm hoping to get some other options for anti-inflammitories and get some blood work done. I'm sure my stress level lately has something to do with how yukky I'm feeling. My dad has his CT scan tommorow, so then at least we'll have a better idea of what is going on and the options for surgery and treatment etc...So that will at least put a plan into action. So send some prayers and good thoughts, my dad and me could use them!

I'm also doing some shopping today for bedroom and bath accessories and maybe a collage of something for my dining room area. I'm hoping to find some great deals at ikea and pier one.

And I had a very juicy dream last night about Brad Pitt of all people, LOL. And I met Angelina Jolie and her new baby. No don't let your mind get carried away, it was just a kiss ( OK 3 kisses) by Brad...but completely innocent!! Really. LOL. And the truth is I don't like Brad Pitt all that much. There has been a media hype around my home town where he is filming a movie, but it was a strange dream none the less. No a memorable dream!

Take care everyone. ((Hugs))
Have a great day y'all.

Well, it's Sept. which means work gets really crazy for me...coming in early, taking work home, etc.
Going out on my friend's boat on Saturday, can't wait! Nice way to unwind. Looking at campgrounds for an October weekend in the Poconons too. Other than that, not much going on here!
Oh, Winnie goes to the eye dr. on Thursday, so hop in her jowls! lol
