Feeling old

[piplover]

I'm so sorry I didn't respond to the comments on my last post.  I honestly thought I had, and then when I went to post today, I realized that I had only thought I had.  I promise to be better.

Not really a lot to report.  I've been feeling pretty crummy the past few weeks.  First with a migraine that lasted a week, and now my RA is flaring.  My feet feel like I've been walking all day, every day for a week.  My toes are swollen, and my ankles, and my hands and wrists.  Ugh.  I feel like that blueberry girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Can't I just be juiced so I can move freely again?

There is an antigue show tomorrow I'm going to, which I'm looking forward to.  Last time I went to it, they had a cookbook from WWII that had all kinds of wonderful recipes.  I wasn't able to aford it then, but maybe I'll find a little something tomorrow that won't cost a lot.

Also, my depression has eased up somewhat.  No matter how long I've been fighting it, I stil don't alway recognize when I'm in a bad spell.  I feel like I'm finally coming up for air after being held underwater.  It's kind of nice to be reading and writing and little bit again.

I'm going to see a movie this weekend. I'm leaning toward Ghostbusters, but that may change.  The BFG and Star Trek are also possibilities.  I saw the Secret Life of Pets with my mom and friend last week.  It was cute!

Take care all.

I'm looking forward to seeing "Pets".

Hang in there, my friend! Living with pain truly sucks, but if Sam can stagger up that volcano with Frodo, maybe we can make it, too. One step at a time.

Some days I don't very brave, but I think just putting one foot in front of the other and keeping going is a kind of courage.

Pets was very cute! Not quite what I expected, but I liked it.

I am so glad you're feeling a bit better! Writing fanfic and being creative was sort of how I knew I "surfaced" more this summer, too.

The physical part I can definitely appreciate right now in the sense of how annoying it can be - we had to escape for a few days from the smoke from the local wildfire, only to end up with my family in a valley with another wildfire and 102 degree heat. Needless to say, my immune system is not impressed with any of it. Ow. Maybe someone will someday have a place we can get replacement feet that don't do this? Sheesh.

The smoke here has been horrible the past week. There's wildfires everywhere!

My left knee has really been bothering me, and today my left leg was swollen. Much as I hate to think about it, I will probably have to go to the doctor to get it looked at. Ick.

I want a new body!
