Whats on your Monday menu RNYers?

might be hormones - estrogen is stored in fat, and as the fat melts away, estrogen is released. Some people's cycles and moods get kind of wonky for a few weeks or months. It'll eventually regulate..

Good morning, everybody! I am trapped in my house on client calls for the time being.

Today is the last day of school for my two sons. They each have two finals and it seems like all of the finals are pretty low pressure. Its been kind of a long school year and we are all glad that they will be through. Marilyn would like the boys to work this summer at least part-time. Also, my rising senior needs to get his license this summer. My rising sophomore doesn't want to take Drivers Ed., so he needs to wait until he is 17.

We had a nice day walking around the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago yesterday. We got one painting which I can share on Friday. For the most part the rain held off.

97 Burpees.

My boys couldn't wait to drive, but then came the bargaining!! Need the car, mow the lawn first!! LOL

I've read and heard that not as many youngsters are psyched about driving anymore. Some have no interest. Wow - maybe there were a few of them around when I was a teenager - but no one I knew. We couldn't wait to drive!!

I guess that they really like to be driven.

Good Morning all!

My younger son will be a senior in college this Fall. He's had paying internships every summer since HS graduation, always in construction mgmt, even though he's a chemical engineering major??? This year the company he works for is sending him up and down the East coast to look in on projects. I saw him this weekend, not sure when he'll be back here. Nervous and so very proud at the same time

Patty - do you go to Global Lyme Association events? My friends daughter is very involved in Chicago and we just got our tickets for the August gala.

No, I haven't gone to big events. Unfortunately, I can't plan ahead too far. My migraines, poor cognition and pain levels limit my activities greatly. I do try to keep up with new advances in care and detection.

Does your friends daughter have lyme disease?? I am listed as Post treatment lyme disease syndrome, OR Cronic lyme disease, OR end stage lyme disease OR Severe neurological end stage lyme disease. When a name can't be agreed upon, it's no wonder a treatment is illusive!
