Dreary Saturday

Well, I awoke to the sound of crashing thunder early this morning. I absolutely love thunderstorms. The power of nature is amazing. I listened to the storm until the sound of the thunder gradually faded. I then dozed off until around 8:00am.

My stomach was rumbling and gurgling. This has been going on since about Tuesday of this week. I've been having annoying issues with my stomach or digestive system. Serious bloating, fullness, cramping, you name it. If nothing shows on my ultrasound, I'm going to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist. It sucks when you are hungry and can only eat a couple of bites and feel full. If I eat more, it comes back up... At least maybe I'll lose some weight...

It's supposed to be a rainy weekend. I'm not sure if I'll be doing anything exciting. I do want to go see Krystal's bundle of joy on Sunday. Maybe do a cookout with the family.

My RA pain is not so bad right now. I guess maybe the Solumedrol infusion I got this week has helped. I felt pretty good the other day, so I decided to clean up and rake the front yard. Bad idea! The next day I felt horrid. Pain in my shoulders, hands, and hips. I so want to do things, but my body makes me pay for it later. So what am I supposed to do? Sit around and watch life going on around me? I'm still going to do some physical things on occasion. If I have to pay for it the next day, so be it. Today I have some pain in my wrists and elbows. It's not as severe as last week, which is a blessing.

I want to have a garage sale next weekend. I'm strapped for cash and need to pay for my insurance and a few other things. I'm dreading it... A garage sale can be a royal pain in the ass! But we have so much stuff in our garage, not to mention the junk (er, I mean treasure) in our closets. This house is packed with way too much stuff. Time to clean it out! I almost forgot that I have quite a few things at my dad's house too...

That's all for now.
