Good afternoon SaraGood morning Dale and Shad
hope you two are having a decent day!
Started out okay but I’m in pain now
It’ll pass and I’ll be good again

eh it was ok....ended up taking a nap, just could not keep my eyes open
woke up with a headache (both times, when I woke up in the morning and after my nap)
then decided to soak in the tub, I'm paying for it now...but it was so much needed.
usually I do that once a month, I soak for 40+ minutes in an as hot of a bath as I can handle with 2 cups of vinegar in it (usually apple cider vinegar as it works best but white works too) and then a handful of essential oils to help with my skin and breathing and muscle cramps.
but I haven't been able to do so for a very long time due to my knees and back, but today I just gritted my teeth and did it anyways. I was about to scratch every inch of skin off of me...between my eczema, the extremely high pollen count lately, and this dang mosquito (I'm allergic to bug bites)...I was going out of my mind scratching. It was not easy getting in or out of the tub, I mean in is a little easier as I'm more or less just falling down but trying not to splash the water all over the bathroom floor
ug
that water was almost black by the time I was done...just clumps of skin rolling off of me
I shed enough skin to make an entire second person, if not third.
Showers don't really help get all the dead skin off of me, my eczema and kp doesn't help with that either....
feeling a lot better now just in pain, not as much as normally, this is just bone pain, not muscle and nerve pain, from having to "hoist" myself back up out of the tub my knees and back are not happy about that

I'm baby skin smooth now though
uggg my knees and back have gotten too bad, I have little to no mobility anymore. can barely stand in the kitchen to fix food. most everything lately has been either microwaved or oven, I can't stand to cook on the stove, my back and/or knees just won't last. after a couple of minutes my back starts hurting and a few minutes more my knees start threatening to buckle.
they refused to give me my 2nd covid vaccine shot because I was still sick from the first one....I can go back next week and try again. Need this to be over with so I can start getting my surgeries and stuff done.

Good evening lurkers 
Dale, hope you are pain free this evening. We had your fave for dinner Boys left for soccer and I’m fairly certain those nasty hot dogs are gone.
Shad, I am sorry for everything you are dealing with. I hope you can get that 2nd shot.
Didn’t want to get up today. Guess I forgot to stop by this morning lol.
Been so busy trying to prepare for the 4th. Kiddo is insisting everyone come over oh and did I mention, THEY ARE! 
I haven’t entertained in a year so my house is not company ready by my standards. The bright side is that we aren’t “celebrating” with both sides separately like last year. So it will be over in one fell swoop.

Uh oh, you too? Lolol. I’d rather it be my grown children and grandbabies.
Yeah well
You don’t really want kiddo to stay young forever, then who’d take care of you in your old age
Good afternoon Sara and Joey
Thanks, we’re kind of partial to them
Yes Sara, Elly was eating that attention up

apparently I'm feeling okish today
fixed an omelete this morning for breakfast....yeah that was fun...I totally forgot that I had eggs in the fridge...2 1/2 dozen....tested them all and only 4 of them where still good, just enough for my omelete.
now I'm fixing a big pot of vegetable soup with ground turkey
my back isn't too happy with me at the moment but it's now simmering away
while I was cooking the ground turkey I also loaded up the dishwasher, kill two birds with one stone....
oh well yeah der I'm feeling okish today because I'm heavily sedated....
pollen count is extremely high today and then they were mowing the grass and then they mopped the entryway floors this morning and I could not breath at all....and then my skin started itching like crazy so I've been popping benadryl's every 3 hours and slathering myself up with cortisone cream every now and then

I bet she was Dale
ooh yum. Veggie soup!! Sorry Shad, glad the Benadryl is helping. I’ve never experienced seasonal allergies until this year. I can not imagine what y’all go through. My eyes itch something fierce and I wear contacts so it’s very frustrating because the only eye drops we have you have to remove the lenses and I hate putting them in daily. I wear the ones you can keep in for 30 days before tossing them.
Chinese for dinner cuz everyone is tired lol
