Well today I didn't get up till 2:00 PM. The pain kept me in bed after last nights storm. We had rain and lighting all night long. We don't have these kind of storms very many times in the year because we only normally have seven inches of rain per year here in the desert. I was planning on doing some things today but that was before the rain storm. I have a list of things I need to do, in the new Windows 7 program there is a feature called sticky notes. It works just like the sheets of paper we have used except they are sheets on the screen that we can fill out. I have a list of things that need to be accomplished, but I have to be careful what I do so I don't overwork just before the weekend or another scheduled outing. I have to rest two days before I go anywhere so I will feel like going. That doesn't leave many days that I can do things.
I am still really excited about going to FFC in the new year. I am so looking forward to being more like I was. I know they don't have a cure and may not find a cure in my lifetime, but if there is something that can be learned through my experiences then it's worth it. I DO NOT want my sons to go through all the pain I have in the last 15 years of my life. My oldest son is 32 and this crud hit me when I was 38 and I had to quit working... I don't want that for my sons.
We are planning a trip to Las Vegas on Thursday if I am up to it. We need to make or monthly trip to the Air Force Base to purchase our bulk food stuffs for the month. Even though it's a 120 mile trip the savings are worth it. We purchase things like meat at a great discount to what we have to pay in the local stores. We also don't pay any sales tax on base so that saves. They have a regular mall with food court, a large department store and lots of little stores down the mall. Then there is the commissary that has the food stuffs. It's a nice diversion and we save money. We can also stay on base at the visitors quarters for about half the price of a hotel. We may use this when we have to go down to FFC.
Well take care for now.. and God Bless you
Jerry
