Woke up this morning with pain in my hips and legs. (?) Got the kids off to school, ate, took my Prednisone and laid back down. Mom called and is going to come up and help me with my house this weekend. It hasn’t really been cleaned since we left for Palestine at Christmas. Andy has tried. Going to take a shower and try to get ready. I am going to go in to school at noon today and try to stay a few hours again. Pain in my neck is better. Place on my elbow is about the same but no worse. I think I must have just rubbed it in the night or something. Not as worried about it since it seems to be more superficialand nothing like shingles. Still having headache and earache. Left ear/side of head feels “stopped up” a little today. Left eye feels a little “droopy”.

Went in late for a couple of hours. Watched a video with my class. Fun Friday. My son had a soccer game and I went and sat out in the sun and wind (sunglasses and hood of course). Had to go sit in my card finally. Headache. Kept a headache pretty much most of the evening. Took a Vicodin and a Restoril to sleep. Still had trouble sleeping. Got on the couch.

My folks are here to help me with my house and do laundry. I felt okay to help as much as I could. Still taking pain meds for my head and ear. Had to stop and rest every once in a while. Still don’t feel like doing much of anything or going anywhere. Bluh.

Took a Vicodin for headache and Restoril to sleep.

Up in the night with Rachel running 101.1temp. with a sore throat and congestion. (sure hope I don’t get this. Steroids make immune system low.)

Hopefully tomorrow night will be better.

Slept this morning on the couch with Rachel while family went to church. Never heard them leave.

Got up and ate hamburgers after church. Printed out some pictures off of the computer for mom to take home with her.

Parents left and I thought I needed to get my in-laws Scrapbook out to work on (late Christmas present) I spread it all out over the floor and then realized how much I really did not want to do this!! I don’t want to do anything. I hate this feeling. Scrap booking is one of my favorite hobbies and I have no desire or energy to mess with it. I sure hope this “not want to” thing goes away soon.

Laid around some today. Decided we need to be eating better. Jonathan went to the store and bought me fruits and veggies so I could cut them up and put them in containers so we could munch on good stuff instead of junk. Planning on trying to feed my family and myself better/healthier.

Took my last steroid tonight!! Took a Vicodin for pain and an Ambien to override the Steroid. So here I go!!! Tomorrow is Monday……….again.

Slept pretty good last night, other than getting up with a sick child

Still have a headache and slight earache, also have some drainage and a sore throat

Tonight my skin feels sore again, feels bruised

Having to take Vicodin for my headache, not completely getting rid of it

Have had a pretty good day today. Have felt okay in general/better.

Went to school today and worked from 11:30-4:00. Wore me out! I did okay though.

Came home and crashed.

Worked half a day again. Had a headache. Very tired.
