6:25am
Brrr out this morning compared to yesterday.
Yesterday morning at this time it was 64 degrees
now this morning it's 42 degrees, a 22 degree difference.
Still don't have the furnace on and it's 70 degrees
inside our home. I'm sure that will be changing
in the near future this or next week. We'll see how
long we can go. I'm a person that likes warmth
but I also like lower utility bills.
Well time to get the kids ready and out the door for school.
8:30am
Just got done making 9 pancakes,
8 for the freezer and 1 for breakfast this morning for me.
I found complete pancake mixes marked
down at Kroger for $1.29 a box.
To jazz them up a bit I added 1.5 packets
of hot chocolate with marshmallows mix
to the pancake batter.
Next I got 3.3 pounds of pork ribs with
2 bottles of bbq sauce going in the crock.
Mom bought me the package of pork ribs
because she knew I liked them.
So far I have three meals planned with this
and we'll see if I have any leftover for more
after that. If I do then I just store the leftovers
in the freezer as is til I figure out what to use them for.
1. BBQ pulled pork over mashed potatoes.
2. BBQ pulled pork taquitos
3. Some will go into a deep dish pizza pie.
I've been keeping my eye on turkeys at the store
looking for them to come down in price
so I can splurge on one to make many meals with.
So far I've seen them at Kroger this week
for .88 cents a pound. Will wait longer
to see if they come down more because right now
on sale they are averaging about $25.
I'm assuming we're going to hubby's parents
house again for Thanksgiving so any turkey(s)
we buy will be made at home for our family
since one is already provided at the in-laws.
12:25pm
I took a couple hour nap.
This past week I've felt so tired even with naps
and going to bed early.
My whole body hurts and I get severe stomach
cramps that will stop you in your tracks.
Still have frequent bathroom trips
with diarrhea.
I can't wait to get my Moringa pills in the mail.
I can really put them to the ultimate test right
now with everything going on inside me flaring up.
Ok to clear things up with this disease,
just because I take my prescription medicine
does not make me all better!
It does not guarantee you from having flare ups
or diarrhea!
I am in pain and so sore because when
these flare ups happen my whole body becomes
inflamed because my immune system
starts attacking healthy cells in my body.
People think I should just be able to exercise
and walk out all the kinks causing the soreness.
Sure it's great to get out and exercise but I
don't think I'm going to get rid of all the soreness
that way when a flare up happens.
My body is attacking itself, it's not because
I'm out of shape, slept wrong, or just need to get
out and move around to keep my joints lubed up.
That's not the case at all!
And just because I'm up walking around
with a half of a smile on my face at times,
doing housework, cooking meals and what not
does not mean I am well.
I struggle like hell because I am a mom
and things need done.
Kids don't understand and they still rely upon you
to take care of them.
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
5:00pm
I had to go take a very hot bath for the pain.
It seems to help to soak all the muscles.
Once out of the tub I got potatoes cut
up and boiling for supper.
I'm putting some bbq pork over top of them.
While everything is cooking
I got out our humidifier and cleaned it all out
with bleach to sterilize it.
I don't know why it just dawned on me to start
using it to keep it feeling warm in here
when the temperatures dip and to keep
the furnace turned off.
I'm keeping check of the temperature
and humidity with my weather station I have that
reads all these things.
I'm starting out with 70 degrees inside the house
and humidity at 56%.
8:25pm
I'm going to bed. This is early for me.
I can't take the pain much more and can't
sit still in my chair because of it.
(not that laying in bed is any better)
Hoping to sleep through the night.
We'll see. There's been times I wake up
in the night bawling my eyes out.
The heating pad is my best friend right now.
I wish there was an invention that you could
swap bodies with other people even just for
a couple minutes to see what they go through
to understand better.
I'm tolerating so much pain right now.
If it was anyone else they'd be running to the ER.
I try to meditate to take my mind off it
but then I find hubby asking me something
several times because I'm off in la la land
trying not to think about pain.
