That's awesome of you to help your friend turn their creativity into something that earns for them -- that kind of support really matters. Also, breaded shrimp with peanut sauce sounds (geometry dash meltdown) delicious, and a chai tea latte is always a good choice. Love that you're balancing it out with salad later and getting some dancing in for exercise. Sounds like a pretty good, feel-good kind of day!
Mel I just love the chainmaille work you do. I'm glad you called the provider and they were good about it. Hopefully you find something that helps your pain.

Good mornin y'all.
sorry I missed most of last week. It was a whirlwind of crapola. I got to the rheumatologist's office and was told they no longer take my insurance. So I had to pay 155 out of pocket to get seen and get some answers. Lots of info was given. The doctor is great, she volunteers at a little to no cost clinic and we're going to try and make it where I can see her there. So fingers crossed it'll work out.
I have non-radiographic axial spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the lower spine and other places too. I also have DISH, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hypertosis. Which basically mean I have a **** ton of bone spurs. Usually affects older than 50 year olds and men. Oh and shocker fibromyalgia. So it is going to be a challenge to treat alllll of this. I am started the first line drug for the arthritis stuff. As many of you with fibromyalgia you know not a lot for that to be done.
the drug did not work and made me sick so I am supposed to hear back today about what we'll do next. It helped with the pain but I was uncomfortable with it. Celebrex may be better than other NSAIDs but after more research I was going to ask to switch too.
I finally made the call to switch providers at the mental health clinic. I was so nervous but she was very nice about it,

Good Monday Morning Gang!!! The start of another week. Got three of the 5 rabbits bred this weekend and made 7 more jars of pressure canned chicken. We got an inch of snow yesterday, but by the afternoon it was all melted. Woke up with a bit of a headache which is odd since I really don't ever get them. Maybe it's from it being so nice out Saturday that I was outside doing a few things.
Irvin has a job interview with Iron Mountain at 12:30 today for a driver. He's excited about it. We took a ride Saturday to see where the place is, so he knows where to go.
B: tea and 2 egg omelet
L: turkey and bacon sandwich
D: salad with egg salad on top
Hitting the Y tonight for some weight training and maybe the pool.
Have a great day everyone!!

Hi Menuers ! Long time no see and I missed U terribly !
After this blizzard Im overnighting in my car yet again two hours outside my NYC home waiting to take a flight to see the 'Rents and my place in FL for about twenty days .
From the outside looking in my life looks enviable in fact its solving a thousand problems to the best of my ability that basically never end. I suppose this is the fate of every " successful" woman .
Why is it so much harder to be a woman in our world especially financially- being respected inheritance - wise particularly ?
- food on hand - nonfat milk my staple
- fre****alian seafood salad
- cucumber red onion and feta cheese salad
- artichoke and olive salad
- lobter bisque ( but cant eat that for breakfast )
maybe a bite of Irish soda bread which I adore but unfortunately makes me feel sick . Im getting ridiculously sensitive to eating sugar .
Yet another day of flight postponement grrr...
I guess all the peeple sitting ( and sleeping ) in the airport fly before m :(
Getting a hair color and long overdue cut in the meantime .
Brunch- a few bites of fried chicken breast tender
" asian" salad w spring greens apple cubes and fried crunchy noodles ( surprisingly low fat ) Sessme dressing
D - tzaziki and fresh mozzarell
milk
Ive mostly stopped drinking tea and coffee dont know exactly why just dont crave it .
Good Morning Gang. What a crazy morning it's been already. Five guys showed up from another facility for a training that we were not even having. I had to call around to their managers and figure out what was going on. Apparently, there was a miscommunication with the person who sent out an email to them. The guys weren't upset about it, and they even got to get a tour of the plant which they really enjoyed. Other than that not much else going on at work today.
Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 50's which is a nice change of weather. We are breeding the new rabbits we got last weekend and probably doing some more snow clean up since we have so much of it.
B: tea and ham/egg on an English muffin
L: DQ fish sandwich
D: baked stuffed sole with Swiss Chard
Hitting the Y for some water aerobics.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!
Wow braised rabbit sounds so excellent !
When I was a small child in Hungary by Grandmother would cook this dish and it was my absolute favorite.
She was an amazing cook like you but my Grandfather grew and grafted fruit trees in our backyard and since mostly organically grown fresh and incredibly tasty veggies are cheap in Hungary we would walk to a farm stand/ market and buy fresh baked bread too and milk every day .
You can buy rabbit meat in Hungary we kept no meat animals not even chickens .
Breakfast - Almond Silk
Lunch - beef bourginon w orange peel greens fresh corn and sechuan spicy sauce
Snack - mashed potatoes
Walked over an hour this morning searching for my car which was buried under snow !
Good Thursday Morning. Talk about Ice Ice baby the roads were horrible this morning on my way into work. I made, but went very slow. There were several accidents along the roads.
I'm hearing we are supposed to get more snow next week like another foot. Lord knows I don't want anymore snow. Mother Nature really needs to stop the meds she's on because things are getting out of hand. Nothing much else going on.
B: tea and 2 scrambled eggs with ham and cheese
L: La Stellas so probably a chicken sandwich
D: We have a few leftovers in the fridge so either baked chicken thighs or braised rabbit
Hitting the Y tonight for some cardio and weights.
Have a great day everyone!!
Happy Hump Day Gang. It is snowing again here today, but we're not getting that much just a few inches. Irvin was able to get the bobcat unstuck and clean up the yard. When I got home yesterday, I was tempted to turn the huge snow mound into something, but it was cold so I'll wait and maybe do something this weekend with it.
Not much going on at work today so it should be a quiet day. I'm getting some online training done.
B: tea and breakfast wrap with bacon and cheese
L: last of the short ribs
D: baked chicken thighs
The Y is closed until tomorrow so they can finish cleaning up the parking lot. They are bringing in a dump truck to haul the snow away.
Have a great day everyone!!!
