    Kind of miserable. I'm just so, so tired. I haven't been feeling so hot lately. There are a bunch of other things to add to my misery, but I won't get into any of that. But to top off everything else in life, I haven't had a Coke in 8 days! Not even a Mountain Dew. NO soda at all. The Coke issue is the worst of it!! It is absolutely killing me!!!

    Lady Wentworth, Sorry to hear you feel so poorly. Why did you stop drinking Coke, just curious? I drink some soda occasionally; but I haven't lately, since I feel too ill now to drink it. I use an over-the-counter de-acidifier in it, called Prelief. You can find it online or in some stores. I found it in Walgreens. It works really well. I have cut back to half a mug of coffee each morning. Anyway, cutting back on caffeine should be gradual, or you will get a dull, or even severe headache.

    I feel happy today, since my grand-daughter came to visit last night. It was just great. She is so entertaining now and so lovable - she cuddles up to you and it makes my heart melt. Also, she gave me a big smile when she saw me again. That too, is a heart melting moment. She is the love of my life!

    I don't feel well physically though...same old story...so I am just muddling through and hope to get some better, if I take it a little easy today....maybe watch a movie tonight...

    I just stopped because I have been having too many "problems" going on with me lately and I figured that I will hold off drinking soda for awhile. But you know what? I saw that Prelief stuff at Walgreens yesterday. There was only one left and I figured that people bought it because it really worked. I didn't but it, though. But since you say that it works, I guess I will give it a try. As for cutting out the caffeine, soda never really had a major effect on me. At least not obvious (I do find that I am getting very irritable and I desperately want at least one swig of soda!). But I have no headaches or anything like that. I get headaches all the time. So if I got one today, it may have come from that, but I wouldn't be sure. I cut my soda-drinking down to one can a day a few years ago already. I basically only drink it with supper. But I went cold turkey this time. That has been hard. So, I will confess to taking a sip today. Not a whole can. Just a sip. Shhh....Don't tell anyone. It is so strange because the soda actually felt "sharp" on my tongue because I am not used to it. Oh, I will go back to drinking it. Just not right now.


    I am OK today. My back aches a little today. Other than that I am OK, physically. Mentally - that is another story.

    MISERABLE!!!! I was out just a little while ago shoveling and putting salt down. The snow will melt eventually sometime this week but I need it good for tonight and tomorrow. So I needed to clean it up. It wasn't a lot of snow but it was wet, heavy snow. So now my arm hurts. It isn't incredibly cold out, but I had frostbite on my thighs and my fingers. So any time I spend out in colder weather isn't fun. I think it has already done damage to me. I am literally sitting here shivering as I am typing this. There seems to be nothing that I can do to warm myself up. Oh, this isn't good at all.

    No, the appearance of snow for you is like a bomb going off. I feel really bad for you. I know winter has to be hard there and frigid. Did you connect yet with the snowplow guy? Is the concert tonight? I hope you have a great time. Drink something warm and turn the heat up a bit if even for a short time to warm up. I get chilly sometimes and can't get warm either. You need to move south, Lady Wentworth!

    I am feeling dreadful today, but tomorrow I get a second treatment at my doctors. God only knows if that will even help; last time I thought it may have made me worse, but I will try it for one round of the medication: three treatments and then go from there. At least, I get one day of relief, tomorrow.

    My car is in the tow yard. I don't know how I am going to pay rent next month. There's no food in the refridgerator. I feel GREAT!

    I wish physical well-being to all of those who seem to lack it. I'll keep you in my prayers.
