Hey,Chels,where ya been?

Hiya Fran! I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here regularly. I think of ECF often but never have much to say or contribute, although I definitely miss it here. I really miss chatting with like minded people such as yourself. I actually haven’t mixed much of anything since late July when I went back to work and then got super busy for a few months.
A brief update: I started on Humira in July for my autoimmune arthritis and it was positively life changing. I got off of opioid pain killers after being on them every day for 15 months (detox definitely wasn’t easy), but I’m discouraged to say that in the past month the efficacy of the Humira has declined sharply. My insurance won’t cover a once a week dosage and even if they did, I worry about how long it will work. I’ve read that it stops working for some people. So I’m back to dealing with neck pain but at least I can control the pain with ibuprofen, but who knows how long that will last.
Anyway, enough negativity! I want to get back into DIY which is why I popped in here yesterday. I’m sitting here looking at my lovely shelf of flavors and want to mix now! The family is still at thanksgiving dinner so I think I’ll bust out the ingredients. I just don’t know what to make! What’s been good lately? Suggestions are welcome!
I think I already posted my shelf but here it is again, I’m really proud of it!

    hey look like little dolls and so pretty.

    Yes, they do look like adorable little chum for the Loch Ness Monster or Sasquach or whatever his name is.

    OMG that reminds me of that brief but hilarious Black Jack Show Tenacious D (movie was AWFUL though) that had like 6 episodes but were so comically hilarious and awesome, Black Jack was immediately recruited to something better.

    Me and my kid (like 6? 7?) LOVED that show. OMG my mom would come over and be all disapproving as like Jack Black was doing something comical but actually musically super GREAT and utterly uncouth.

    My mom would like be like "You should NOT let him watch this stuff" and I was like, "AH, EVERYONE needs to watch this, mom! Stay!" LOL

    I used to clean the Fridge to this and it made it much less awful. I was so sad about the 6 episodes but SO happy they existed .Then, me and my kid would like make uncouth remarks behind my mom's back until she left, going "You are both horrible," LOL, YEP.



    I need to clean the fridge soon. I ALMOST got the Ricolas but like, I got consumed by trying to find the "perfect" med box and that's like IMPOSSIBLE. I finally got 2 loaded in my cart and like, needed 2 bucks more for free shipping finally was there, and THEN, it was my wrong account and etc. So, I have to start over.

    I cleaned. It's like, not "Good Housekeeping in here but I also no longer might qualify for an Episode of Hoarders, and I have 3 more days. LOL.

    I can not link my mom's most hated song, but it like starts with "This one's for the ladies.,,, Well, the gentlemen too, but definitely the ladies."

    She HATED that. LOL.

    My sis baked bread. Sourdough rolls in the OVEN. I told her to get a bread maker and she was like, "Oh I HAVE one.... these are SPECIAL sourdough rolls."

    I was like "I tried to bake bread for 6 years. I watched the husband, I followed the husband, I wrote down the steps in order, and what goes after what, I even had the husband like, follow me DOING it and he was like "THAT HAS to rise," but it didn't." I explained how I felt so badly about me because I could NOT bake bread, and finally it required my mother stating, "Anna, there are many people who can bake bread, there is at least one in ALMOST every supermarket." And I was like, "See, THEY All can do it, but I CAN'T. Supermarket workers can do it but I can't. WAH'.. before settling into acceptance.

    That (censored) sent me PICS of the bread.

    What this has to do with flavors IDK other than they looked tasty. Yoga got done, notes got writ. Yay. Sigh.

    Anna

    Oh it never occurred to me CVS would be shut on the turkey day well it did but I was like "Surely NOT" only it is. I am missing some Seroquel which, while it is not addictive, per se, carries the WORST discontinuation syndrome known to a non addictive drug. I may have to take an extra benzo or something to manage. I mean I have HALF my dose, which is about 100% better than NONE but also 100% WORSE than all of it. Creativity may reign. Seriously I once forgot it on a camping trip and spent half the night groaning and twitching before telling the husband we had to go back and he drove into the wee hours of the morning and I collapsed into bed. I want to say we weren't married yet but I can't remember. Eh he was warned either way. Good luck me and Happy Thanksgiving to All especially Aqua man....

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good morning. Almost time for me to get ready for work. I’m really sure that we’ll get out early but don’t know what time. It was cold and rainy all day yesterday. I hope it’s not slick out this morning.

    Doctor's appointment (today of all days). And then IDK. I have a ton of turkey leftovers to turn into turkey pot pies for the freezer. I like the leftover turkey much better a month from now! Maybe a walk. Probably not a run. I don't feel like I could run today without feeling sick!
