So, I found a new author that's really fun to read. Her name is Sofie Kinsella. I was at Target a couple of weeks ago and just on a whim picked up her book called The Undomestic Goddess. It was very cute, just a girly fluff book but a fun read. I usually read stuff like Dean Koontz and Stephen King but wanted something lighter. She lives in England so I find some of the words and phrasing amusing!
So, I finished that book and decided to stop at Borders this morning on my way to work to pick up another one of her books. I got to the store, find her books and I'm having a leisurely look about when all the sudden, belly goes cramp, burble, gurgle, CRAMP! Oh crap, where is the bathroom. Ask someone, its upstairs. Oh no, elevator out of service. As quick as my swollen, painful joints will allow, go hobbling up two flights of stairs, butt checks clenched, listening to the burbles get louder and louder. Reach the top of the stairs and its all the way across the room. Oh man, hurry, hurry, please don't let me crap my pants in the middle of the store. Ok, finally reach the potty, no time to check for tp or anything. I break out into a sweat and wait as the cramps come.
Its funny the things I do in the potty trying to get through an attack. I sit there, eyes closed, doubled over and I start counting. I have no idea why, something to distract myself with, I guess. Thought it was rather odd though. I'd count until I would explode, than start over at zero!   Am I neurotic or does anyone else do this?
So, fast forward 15 minutes and I realize there is like 2 squares of tp on the roll! Groan. So, I go rummaging through my purse looking for kleenex.....ok, clean up down. I think I'm a good 5 pounds lighter than I started the day!
But, I've got my new book "Can you Keep a Secret?" and I'm looking forward to a relaxing day at the office as I'm here by myself.
I'll do my humira injection tonight and my second mtx shot tomorrow. I have high hopes of cleaning out my closet this weekend. Been meaning to do it for weeks now, got clothes everywhere. Need to put summer stuff way, figure out what fits and what doesn't and make a trip to donate the stuff I'm not wearing to the woman's shelter. Lets hope my physical strength holds out, its a BIG job!
I made an appt to start physical therapy on Monday. They have a small pool there and I'm hoping to go 2-3 times a week. This flare has had me in so much pain, I haven't done anything and I know a little exercise and stretching will do me good. The hot water in the pool and the water itself, helps to take some of the pressure of my joints. I figure its a great way to get started back on the road to some sort of physical activity, and my insurance pays for it! Bonus! 
My jaw is slowly starting to unlock. Stll hurts but its down to a dull roar instead of a steady SCREAM. I can eat soft foods but thats about it. Hoping to be able to get a new bite gaurd in the next few weeks and avoid surgery!
So, thats about all I've got. I can't believe how slow the board is right now. Tell us whats happening in your life!
Casey, hows your dad doing? How are YOU doing??
