Its All Good!

So, I lost four pounds last month - not too earth shattering, but not too shabby either.  A pound a week.  The scale's moving in the right direction though, so it's all good..  What is more important is that I am feeling better and I'm not needing as many meds for the RA, which is a fantastic thing!  Most days I get by with a couple of Tylenol - and not the prescribed stuff - yay me!!  I am still taking my injectible - I will most likely take that for the rest of my life - but I have been able to cut way down on the pain meds, I love it!  I've always said that to me, the number on the scale just isn't as important as the quality of life..  I've been feeling good and healthy - and that, my friends, is a very good thing!

I need new clothing - desperately, I need new clothing!  A wonderful NSV to be sure, but my clothing is literally hanging on me!  We went to a funeral today (the parent of a dear friend passed away) and I wore my standard black slacks.  I had to borrow a belt from the hubs!  I was afraid my slacks were going to fall right off my hips!  I could slide them on and off without undoing them - how scary is that?!?!  Probably wouldn't have been a good thing at Mass either...  But, I am ashamed to say, and I confess, I have no belt...  Not one, nada, zilch.    I was so embarrassed to ask the Hubs for his that I, for a brief moment, considered pulling out a draw string from a pair of capris I have...  Uhm, the only problem was they are pink - the drawstring is pink...   Note to self, add a belt to my list of things to buy..  A belt and some bras - the girls are looking kinda non-existent these days..

To my secret bandit - you gift to me has been used several times over the past few days - it, my special friend, fits me to a tee!!  Thank you again!!

So, although it has been eerily quiet around here in blog-land this weekend, I am doing my part to be one of the very special "designated bloggers" who are keeping this place neat, tidy, and running proficiently!  Thank you for joining me in this endeavor!!  And to all who are in Chi-Town, you'd better be having a martini for me!!

Have a terrific rest of your weekend!!

Until Next Time!
