ELECTION

Our election is next Tuesday and I have had practically no election fliers on the door of my house. I see other houses that have all these fliers rubber banded to their doors or those door hangers.   I have had no door things so far this election cycle.  I have gotten tons of mail.  I just stand at my mail slot and throw it all in my recycling bin.

I just think maybe the election people don't want to come up my hill but that seems lazy.  Do they not think we vote up the hill?

I have only had one person ring my doorbell.  I was on the phone and waved her away.  But seriously one person?  We have our District Supervisor, Mayor, Lieutenant Governor, and Governor all up for election.  As well as a bunch of issues.  I should be inundated.  Oh, I am not complaining.  I am just surprised.  Maybe I am not on any election rolls.  Who knows?  I vote every year.

I just find it interesting.

I went to see my RA doctor today and he wants me to get a shingles/zoster vaccine.  I need to talk to my doctor.  Then he wants to put me on Xeljanz.  

Until tomorrow...

INCREASED MEDICATION

About one week of taking increased thyroid medication and I see a slight difference already.  My doctor said it may take a couple of weeks to see a full difference.  I hope it does make a difference and I am less fatigued.

Until tomorrow...

MEMORIAL DAY PICNIC

Today I had a picnic at my home. It was the inaugural usage of the new barbecue.  I had some friends and neighbors over. The picnic was a "bring your own meat to grill" picnic.  Folks brought steak, chicken and fancy bourbon burgers.  I made barbecue tofu, potato salad, orzo salad and brownies. The brownies were a hit.

It was a beautiful day in my area. The dogs behaved. Everything seemed to work today.

This is the beginning of a summer of barbecues.

Until tomorrow. .

DAY WITH A TWO YEAR OLD

Today my friend R came to visit with her almost two years old I. I spent the morning watching the Indy 500 and Danica Patrick's final race. It was sad to watch her crash but it seemed everyone was crashing in this heat.

Unfortunately I was having a two year old day. She didn't want to take her nap. She didn't want to eat her food. She didn't want to play. She just wanted to do the things she was told not to do which was making mommy very unhappy.

It was good to see them both. Since they moved to the East Coast I don't get to see them very often.

At the park, we saw a hawk. I took some photos of him and when I turned around, he buzzed me. It was a bit shocking to have a hawk come that close.

Until tomorrow...

SOLO

I really wanted to like it so much. I wanted to fall in love with it.

I just didn't love Solo. I thought it was super slow. For a Star Wars movie it lacked action. I get it was setting the story but so did Rogue One. Rogue One was anything but slow or boring.

I will rewatch it when it comes out in 6 months and see if I feel the same way.

Until tomorrow...

PLANNING FOR THE WEEKEND

I just decided today that I am having a barbecue on Monday, Memorial Day. I have been thinking and talking about this for about a month. I finally committed today. Now I have to see if anyone will come at such short notice.

When I first got my house, I used to have barbecues and parties frequently. I want to get back to that.

Until tomorrow...

FRIENDS

What do you do when you are not sure you want to continue being friends with someone you have been friends with for many, many years?  (No, I am not writing about you H or S)  It is a hard decision.  What if the person has stopped being a positive person in your life and although you have been friends for a long time, you just want positive people in your life?  Is that a good enough reason to stop being friends? 

I think I have a lot to think about.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Until tomorrow...

THYROID MEDICATION

This fatigue and fog that I feel like I am in is REALLY annoying.  I sure hope the increased thyroid medication helps quickly (or at all).  I feel like I keep making mistakes at my clients.  I am so fatigued and sleepy. 

Until tomorrow...

PRIMARY DOCTOR APPOINTMENT

I went to see my primary doctor today.  We talked about how I am feeling since my accident where my dog whacked my chin.  My neck is much better.  Not perfect yet but getting better.

I told him about my fatigue and weight gain.  He decided that my thyroid meds needed to be increased a little bit. 

We talked about my heart stuff. 

I have to go get some blood work before the next appointment.  That is about it.

I went to get my blood work for my RA appointment next week.  My primary told me the results of the x-rays I took over a month ago.  There is RA degeneration in my hands.  He didn't see anything in my feet which I think is surprising.  We spoke about how my taking Enbrel when I was younger and it was new probably stopped me from having as much degeneration in my hands and feet.  I need to get on some other medication at my next RA appointment.

Until tomorrow...
