I made it 3 days running! I am still a little sore, but no major pain like the past three weeks, which is great.

Temps here have dropped. In the mornings it is down to the low 50s, during the days high 60s. If we are lucky it will hit 70. Fall is here! Crisp, cool, clean air, even in the city. Tonight we are under frost alerts. OOps, right now it is 47F, even lower than I though.

B is working from home today, and working overtime from home tomorrow and Sunday-8 hours tomorrow, 4 Sunday. It is that time of year when tax stuff has to be written to be ready for January. Fun, not!

On another note, whatever is going on with body has had a different side effect. For years I couldn't get my nails to grow. They were thin, split, broke, etc. I had to get fake nails to have pretty fingers. Now I carry a little manicure kit with me. My nails grow like weeds. They are longer than when I had fake nails on. I have to shape them and file the little nicks, and occaisionally clip them back to reshape them. Don't know why this is happening. Now I have to learn how to polish them!

I may be able to start knitting and crocheting again. My wrists and knuckles are not hurting anymore! They are stiff, but as you can tell, I can type and the pressure isn't hurting.

Yes, I am taking joy in the little things I can do without pain while I can. I know that the pain may return so I will enjoy what I can when I can. When the pain comes back, I know I will live through it.

I recieve inspirational quotes daily. On Tuesday I recieved this one. "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." Lance Armstrong.

Now I know for some things pain may be an ongoing item, but it can be put into the background for a good part of the time. The little aches I am feeling now are that. So that is what I am doing. When the big ones come, that may be different, and I may need to deal with it differently. That will be then.
