You certainly have a lot more energy than I do. I noticed how fit you looked in your FB pictures.

Thank you, CC! I am skimming that article, and it is one heck of a roundup about so many anti-inflammatory benefits delivered by these drugs for scores of ailments caused or contributed to by our current-day processed foods and lifestyles.
The more I learn about these drugs the more I wish I could live another 100 years just to see how the medical/pharmaceutical industries are going to change. I also think that a huge contributor to those future changes will be the need to reduce society's health care costs.

I have truly enjoyed living here all these years, and there will be much I will miss.
Second shot in last night. Can't feel the needle at all. Slight burning afterwards but not for long at all.
Spent the day cleaning DCs - 4 hours for a 10x20 kitchen! Made dinner, did DCs laundry, made up the guest room with clean linens after Mom's visit and have a webinar at 7, so quite a busy day.
Have not eaten much today since I skipped lunch while away cleaning. I think I will have some dried mangos (last BM was a little stubborn) and try and get some more protein in via a yogurt. Didn't feel hungry at all today but not nauseous or having food aversions either.

I would have loved to have seen your house! Sounds like a neat old farmhouse.

Molly and I rolled in just before 2 AM. She pottied, romped, and settled down by about 2:20. I flossed and brushed teeth and tumbled in to bed. Woke up at 5:30, 6:30 and again at 7:30. At that point, I thought, what the hell and just got up. I feel a nap coming on.
I am up a pound after a full 6 days on the road. I will admit, yesterday was not a food is fuel day. Nope, not at all. It was more of a dog show, road trip, comfort food day! However, I am 100% okay with the scale number as I certainly was not eating for weight loss while at Disneyland or the long dog show weekend. The pound up is undoubtably fluid retention. My ankles are a bit thicker than what has become normal.
To combat road fatigue on the way home I drank not one, but two Red Bulls! LOL! Those kept me nice and wide awake until about 1 AM. The last hour of the drive I was a bit tired, but certainly not fall-asleep-at-the-wheel tired.
Today, I do feel the effects of the long drive. I am not sure if at our age it truly takes longer to recover, or if as we have aged our wisdom prevails and insists that we allow ourselves the luxury of a recovery period. I am sitting here feeling uninspired, but I know that if I had had to teach today, I could have done it! Maybe it's just a fine line. I choose to believe that I have more energy than most my age! LOL!
NSV - I saw some dog show photos people took of me ringside. I was actually pleased by my appearance - especially my legs. Never thought I'd be saying that since I see my legs as way too short and too thick!
Okay.... I am fading.... time to nap!
