Talk about being a whirlwind! Glad the med seems to be well tolerated. If you are a stress eater (like many of us), you have certainly giving it a real test over the last week.

Speaking of energy ... next bday (in December) I'll turn 79. That number sounds so bizarre. I certainly don't feel or move like I imagined decades ago I'd be feeling and moving at this age. To be clear, I feel and move really well.
I do know how very, very fortunate and privileged I am to be so healthy and mobile at this age. So much of our late-in-life has to do with our genetic inheritances.
I also know how quickly at this phase of life (which has many phases) one's self-satisfaction in feeling and acting younger than one's contemporaries can be crushed by a life altering diagnosis or an accident.
But until then I'll follow my doctor's advice and "Just keep moving!"

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

DD, I hope you know what a great writer you are!

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.
