I’m sitting here laughing as you’re laughing over the kick you’re getting from picturing me on the treadmill in my mittens. 😂 I do wear a long sleeve t-shirt, but I’m actually wearing shorts, not warm clothing. My legs tend to warm up as I walk. My hands never warm up, so I have the kind of mittens where the part that covers the four fingers food over and attaches to the back of my hands. That way I can still use my fingers to press the buttons to adjust my treadmill. I’d love to take my walks outside, but since I had my foot construction surgeries, I need the good shock absorption I have on my treadmill when I get up to the point where I’m getting good cardio. A couple of years ago, we discovered my daytime narcolepsy med was causing heart issues, so I was put on a heart med (and taken of my N med), and the heart med came with some painful side effects. I was able to switch to another heart med, and its side effects were uncomfortable, but at least they weren’t painful. I made it a goal then that I was going to get enough cardio in 5 days a week to get off my heart med. it took 2.5 years, but last summer, I did it! I still do my walking, though. It’s so good for me mentally, as well as physically. I do it first thing in the morning, while I still have the good benefits from my nighttime N med, but it’s at the expense of using up a lot of good energy I only have up until late mornings/early afternoons. I then take a nap, and try to make it through the rest of the day. There aren’t any daytime meds left for me to try.

I’m so glad to here your stepdad’s MRI was negative and hoping his procedure goes well today. I also hope the plans you are making for future appointments (Cleveland or Texas) come together easily for you. I’m just in awe of all you do for the people in your life! 💖

This morning we have just over 4 inches of snow and icicles! 😍 I’m sitting in the dining room window watching it still snow.

I saw on our nominations thread that you have accepted your nomination to be an admin here. With your busy schedule, I’m thrilled to see you running! Thank you so much for being willing to serve in a capacity to help move our precious wiki into the future. Good luck to you!

I’ll be thinking of you helping your son with his biology labs. I sure miss teaching science. Gilbert isn’t here today, as our son is n a snow day, so I’m going to try to get through another tub. Should be easier without him lol! 🤗
