Hi Marlene! Thank you for your note. I've been so behind on blogging lately that I've not even been checking my comments. So glad I finally did though, because here you are, as sweet as usual. I've missed you and your family, too, but thanks to Facebook, we can at least have a cross-country glimpse. I hope you're enjoying 2016 so far. A lot has happened here, and while I hope to capture it for the blog, let's not count on it either. Haha. But we're all doing well, and my young ladies, as you say, are growing by leaps and bounds. Which is both a beautiful and heartbreaking thing to behold, as you know.

Lilly, thank you so much for reaching out with this, because I hadn't even considered this. The symptoms do sound familiar and if it's just a matter of blood test, then yes, I really should ask the doctor to test for it. What's the harm in that right? That 100% recovery part sounds wonderful so we'll see what they say. Thank you again!

Ayala,

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond, and thank you so much for your offer to talk.The truth is, I don't even know where to start because I have yet to uncover what's ailing me right now. Thankfully I found an earlier appointment with the rheumatologist and will see him tomorrow. Yay! It's been a month-long wait and I hope to finally get some answers soon. Having arthritis from so young an age must have been difficult, but from what I can see, you have a full life, which gives me great encouragement that whatever it is, we can, one way or another, overcome this. For that, I thank you too.

XO

Thanks, Cathy. Answers would be GREAT. Living in pain *and* in the unknown sucks.

Angela, you and me both; I hope something works and fast, too! Thank you for your kind offer. This rain hasn't made things easy either, but glad Lake Travis is at least over 63% full now. I just hope the flooding stops.

Thank you Marlene; it means so much to hear from you. Trying my best to not let this get me down, but man has it been tough!

Thanks so much Jessica. Some days are better than others; the rain doesn't help. Ha ha. I will keep your offer in mind. I really appreciate it.

Between now and the appointment, I have a feeling I'll be going in with a long list of possible diseases, so yes, Lyme will be on that list. N is no longer allowed to leave me alone at night because that's where my mind wanders - all the things that could go wrong - and I fall apart. Thanks for thinking of me, my friend.

I have to admit biking/spinning doesn't really appeal to me because it always felt especially hard when I tried before. But then again, running was difficult at first too, so maybe I should really give it a chance again. They do have spin classes at my gym, and I'm seriously considering it because of you, so thank you, Cathy. :-)
