Steroids say EAT
Plus and minus format:
+ First a BIG plus for my gorgeous best friend grownie, who is going to have her first baby literally any second. I am keeping my cell with me at all times so I can catch the text from Mark that they're going to the hospital. I spent Saturday with her, helping out where I could and hanging out with her while Mark was at a bachelor's party. It was so wonderful to see you upbeat and chatty, Sharon, instead of exhausted and miserable like you could have been! I've never seen anyone happier to be 9 months pregnant.
+ Getting to witness Mark be a father is going to be amazing.
- I don't know when I'll get to see the baby once it comes, though, which is the sucky part of being a state away. I'm thinking maybe Saturday August 15th, because it's very easy to make a baby work around a visitor's schedule, right?
+ We are 18 days away from Seattle, and a vacation is ALL I can think about.
+ I can feel the prednisone working. My energy levels are waaay up, and the debilitating body pain has been almost nonexistent since about Thursday.
- The guts are taking a while to catch up to the rest of me. This is almost okay, since the worst part of this flare was the pain and fatigue.
+ - Also, the prednisone is making me manic. I haven't wanted to eat so much in weeks. I could eat a big bowl of Cheerios with whole milk every hour on the hour. And I can't sit still. Relaxing or vegging out is beyond my capacity right now. However, I will gladly ride this wave if it's going to give me energy to truck all over Seattle.
- As in, it's 9:45 and I'm already dreaming of lunch. Which I won't get, because I'm slated to cover the front desk. I may take off for an hour afterwards anyway. It's really irritating to be stuck in, and I have errands.
+ Also still dreaming of the delicious hash I had for Sunday breakfast out with Mom and Rikki. Hash browns, bacon, onions, Monterey Jack and Cheddar, covered with two eggs over easy? NOM.
+ Wyl is making Chilean country ribs tonight. NOM NOM NOM.
Okay, this entry has devolved.
What food are you dreaming of right now?
