It is official. I am in a massive RA flare. I knew I was headed into one toward the end of the week. Even PT could feel it in my joints and it culminated when I could barely raise my shoulder above waiste high due to a popping feeling around my rotator cuff. PT ordered me to rest this weekend and I have now upped my prednisone to 15mg for the next 3 days to help combat the inflammation. My joints are stiff, body aches and I'm extremely tired. RA brain fog is also sticking around more than normal. The cold isn't exactly helping so the couch is my friend right now.
Due to the flare, this weekend is uneventful. I did manage to get some laundry done and went grocery shopping with my family. The kids picked out which design they each want for their pinewood derby cars which will be worked on wth Josh over the next 3 weeks. Tomorrow Josh will take the older 2 to indoor soccer training in the afternoon while Charissa and I stay home I hope.
While resting, I am looking for a decent Cowboy/West themed Contemporary romance book to read but not having much luck. The one I just finished reading I only finished because I couldn't make myself stop, despite how bad it was. It was like watching a train wreck. I may give up and go read one of my many other tasteful romance books I have on my Kindle. May even reread my favorite romance series Treading Water by Marie Force. I have read this series, there are 4 books, and love it more each and every time. The characters give me a place to escape when my body gives up on me. Helps me not be as cranky with my family.
Tomorrow we are going to be under a winter advisory. freezing rain in the evening until Monday morning when it switches to snow. Snow on top of ice sounds like a bad idea to me. If roads are bad, really hope school will be closed so we can stay home. Unfortunately Josh will still have to go to work so I won't be able to relax until I hear that he arrive at work safely. I don't mind the snow as long as I don't have to drive and then I hate it.
Enough of my ramblings for now. Until tomorrow.
