Today, the pain was much more manageable, back to the 4-6 range where it belongs. In addition, shock of shocks, I actually got the shoes on this morning without yelling at my foot. This is very very good.

I have quite ab it of stuff to get done this week. It's going to be a crazy few days until I'm done with this week. Once that happens, I'll still be crazy, but at least with a few less deadlines hanging over my head. I don't think I'll get to breathe until the end of the semester, but that could just be my own perceptions.

I got to have stir fry for lunch and I even got to have dessert with it. I could get both of these things more often if I asked for help, but I tend to just play the game of "what can I get with the least amount of help and the least amount of difficulty". Consequently, stir fry and dessert are out. Yes, I know, I'm a bad advocate, but food has never been a priority for me. It keeps me from dying, and I like to eat (especially on the meds I'm on), but it's not really the end of the world if I don't eat dessert or stir fry. Occasionally, like today, the opportunity presents itself, where someone is obviously free, but a lot of times, I can't tell if anyone is able to help. This may just be my perception. Anyway, it was just a nice treat to have today.

Julio is still driving me crazy, but it's easier to deal with while the pain is manageable.

Hugs!
