Thursday, must get to work


 I found this picture when one of our old friends sent it on Signe's birthday.  She was playing Victoria in CATS. SO many years ago. After a three-week run that costume had to be thrown away, it was completely worn out. I did almost all the costuming for CATS. It was months of work. I think I crocheted and knitted in my sleep.

Started my steroid pack yesterday. I am just having so much pain in hips and shoulders, elbows.  Something has to give soon. I am scheduled for a cortisone shot in November for my bad shoulder but hoping this will take the place and help everything else to boot. I hate not sleeping well but I can endure for a few weeks.  It is a nine day regressive dose. Day 2.

I had friend's stop by yesterday to visit and then Sissie and then Lil sis so I did not get much done. Okay I got nothing done.  Today I must get something done.

I did get to the grocery store to get bread and fruit and yogurt and a few things I was out of, that I needed. I am seeing some prices some down but very few.  I will take what I can get.

Okay here is the list:

1. hem a pair of pants

2. hem a pair of pants and take in waist on a pair

3. mend three jackets

4. take in two dress shirts

5. hem a pair of pants and alter waist on three pair

6. put patches on 5 police shirts

7. hem two pairs of police pants

8. hem a formal dress

9. reverse collar and mend cuffs on a shirt.

The shop was busy yesterday with many items coming in, and I did nothing but visit and poop around.

Really need to be productive today, but I don't want to, might have to call Sissie. Am I ready to face the wrath?

It is hard to operate on poor sleep.  That will be my excuse.  I love an excuse. 😜  

Okay ready to get to work.  I think.

Have a great and productive day

God is good

  2. As our weather is so up and down both youngest son and I notice that we are in much more pain. I hope you get some relief and that you get what you need done.

    God bless.

  3. Praying your prednisone helps quickly and gets you through this flare. I was on the same RA drug you take for several years until about 2 years ago when my rheumatologist put me on a new drug that's helped much more and I've only had one flare where I usually have one every summer!

  4. Like others commenting above, I am also hoping the steroid does the trick for you and everything calms down. My husband would have bouts of bad back pain and I used the phrase that the bees were buzzing…so I hope your bees fall asleep for the fall.

    I sold my condo and am moving to my new home next week, so am sleeping on an air mattress in the empty condo. Put most of my stuff in storage for the week. Went to take a shower and found I had apparently decided I didn’t need soap or shampoo for the next week. Sigh. Off to the store tomorrow. It is always something ;). Hope you feel better and get into a frenzy of alterations! Hilogene in Az.
