Sunday Funday

Well, I am on a different hormone blocking medication to see if the change helps.

I know for sure that consuming alcohol makes my joints hurt more.  Having taken all of last week off from enjoying cocktails, except for the Cubs shots, the pain was almost gone completely.

Yesterday, we celebrated the change in Oklahoma law that now allows microbreweries to serve full strength beer.  We went to our favorite local brewery, had a beer there, and brought home a growler so we could have a beer with dinner, and some for today for doing yard work.

We also had a couple of shots of tequila.

I woke up this morning not with a hang over (the beverages were consumed over a space of about 6 hours yesterday), but with painful hands.

Bingo.

I started on the new hormone blocker on Thursday, because the doc gave me 4 weeks worth of samples.  I didn't have to wait to get a prescription filled.

Hopefully, the insomnia (and pain) will soon be a thing of the past.  Of course, I slept fine last night because I was very relaxed from the alcohol and the hot tub.

We are going to get the yard done today, instead of waiting until after work on Wednesday before we leave.

The rain chances increase as the week goes along, so we'd better not wait.  Fortunately, the summer growth slow down has begun, so the yard won't look abandoned while we are out of town.

I refuse to ask my house sitters to mow the lawn!

Did some cooking yesterday for Dave's dad, and today, I will cook for us.  I want to stock the freezer up a bit so that I don't have to come home to a cooking frenzy when I should be doing laundry and preparing myself mentally to go back to work after 10 days off.

If we have to, we will  buy frozen dinners from the natural market.

Okay, off to get busy... enjoy your SundayFunday!
