Hi ladies. Like some of your areas, we are in a severe drought. Bike week starts in a few days and all of a sudden weather is calling for severe storms for a couple days in a row. Poor bikers. Seems to happen every year.

@intothelight I'm not sure if MO uses those numbers to change meds or not. I just know that I had a few areas that read in the area of 1.0 to 1.9 and I was told I was NED. I think that is because those areas and numbers could be inflammation. I'm full of inflammation courtesy of MS. I know I read it on line that above 2.5 is considered active. @cookie54 No I guess there is no peace with this disease. Joy has to come from living life, not hoping numbers will be thus and so. Gotta get my head around this. No radiation for hip or femur since there is no active disease, so that's a win. Frankly I am burned out on doctors and labs and care teams texting or calling early in the morning, to just check on me. They wanna make sure I stay out of the hospital. I thought it was a lovely idea to have them as part of my team and now they are actually interfering with MD orders and Pallative orders. Time to discharge them.

Hope everyone is thawing out and watching out for the next round of weather. It was warm enough today that the birds came out to play in the birdbath. Crows were drowning their peanuts and chickadees clacking their seed against the branch of crepe myrtle. Two new unidentified birds at the bath so I have to investigate. Maybe mockingbirds. I put suet up to try and attract woodpeckers.

In pockets for all and Mara I think I missed seeing you lately?

@cookie54 Yeah, I check weather everyday and it looks like starting from tomorrow we are above 0 since not too far away from you here in London Ontario. I am excited about the snow melting, feel more confident to go outside for walks. Of course the weather could give us a bunch of snow into april but whatever. Once we hit may, will ask DB to take me out shopping for a new AC since other one was tossed whilst in hospital.

I had a decent night sleep, woke up earlier due to receiving a new loperimide prescription delivery, put wig on already. In case people wonder, I take the loperimide automatically to avoid digestive issues. Same thing with the digestive enzyme. I could not eat much without the help. No dreams thankfully. I had a stupid shouting bit yesterday saying shut the f up because I was unaware that one of my facebook videos was on and repeating. Scares the heck out of me when waking up shouting. Usually switch to a rain hypnosis with subliminal messages but did not do that. Just dropped off to sleep mid video.

Have to go through fridge and pull out anything needing to be eaten before spoilage. Also need to organize fridge again. Got a couple hot dogs left so thinking of just air frying them, I like the well done variety. Also got a mix of lentils and corn, did those up the other day but these are leftovers. Love the crispy stuff but also need to pay attention to make sure stuff does not spoil. Also thinking of mini pot pie and an egg microwaved together. Walmart finally had some beef mini pot pies so can take an egg, pie and some crisped corn and lentils. I will have to see. If I have something good, will post. Yesterday I made a bad smoothie. Took some peanut powder for protein and mixed with yogurt and mio. Where I went wrong was deciding to add wheat bran for fiber. It was gross, finished most of it BUT yuck. Next time if adding stuff to a yogurt smoothie, stick with jello, bananas. For now am going to have some leftover lasagna with lentils and corn in there as well, heat them through and add some salad after all is cooked up. Use regular queso OR burger sauce, has mayo, relish, all the burger topping tastes you would expect on a burger.

Second meal was two eggs, two mini pot pies put into the microwave for 7 mins on high, once they cooled a bit, I pulled out the greens I purchased and and added some ranch dressing with sour cream and onion dry seeasoning, white cheddar and a bit of sour cream. It was delicious as well.
