Been going through some really nasty withdrawal. I’m really hoping that was it. Next Thursday I will have been off Prednisone for 10 weeks, and that’s how long its suppose to take. Will spare you the details, other than to say I now know how to get used Gatorade stains off tile and out of my bathroom rugs. One night the only thing I didn’t get vomit in/on was the litterbox.
The important thing is that I’ve slowly been feeling better since Wednesday and that’s what I’m focusing on.
Matt left Wednesday to shoot all over No. California and Arizona. He’ll be back on the 30th. Andie is out of town at a cutting class for six weeks. I have to say Sam and I are enjoying the peace and quiet. He’s so different when its just him and I, and I’m enjoying spending time with just him. We are also enjoying that the only drama that is going on in the house is between the pets-no yelling or door slamming in the middle of the night.
Thursday I had a couple of errands to run, but was still too dizzy and weak to drive, so Sam took me. The boy knows I love to go out to eat, so he took me out to lunch. I really love eating solid food again! Yesterday we went to see “Lockout” with Guy Pearce and went out to lunch again.
Years ago, the boys and I developed this running joke. One of them will have “favorite son” status. Now we know its a joke. It really pisses the ex off because he thinks I’m serious. For example, one week Matt took me out on four different occasions to play pool on a 9 foot table-he was granted status. Sam currently has status. Both days we went out for lunch, we ended up discussing/debating “Hunger Games” for atleast 30 minutes. He hasn’t read the books, but knows enough about them from me. I. Was. In. Heaven.
I’m working on getting caught up on all the stuff around the house that didn’t get done for a while. Its just so darned nice to be up and about again. Went grocery shopping this morning and am cooking dinner tonight. I’m very focused on food right now. Started using my stair stepper again yesterday
And I have a very busy afternoon today. At 2pm, with the help of Bruce Willis, an Aerosmith soundtrack, 4 pieces of Sees candy, and a box of kleenex, I will save the world for about the 25th time.
Yup, “Armageddon” is on again.

certainly hope you’re coming to the end of your withdrawal ordeal … i’ve seen bits & pieces of Armageddon, but have never sat through the entire movie … that happens with lots of movies on tv — i just can’t sit still for that long …
I’m sure your cats are thanking you for not hitting their litter box:) sorry, not funny:( I really hope this is coming to an end for you – you’re an incredibly strong woman. I love hearing about your relationship with your boys. It’s realistic. I get the favourite kid status – we do stuff like that too:) humour keeps us sane right? Hey – have you read the Maze Runner series? They’re getting made into movies as well but I haven’t read them yet ( kids loved them – same type of books). I pvr’d The Iron Lady tonight and after watching 10 minutes of it quit – I just couldn’t get into it. Then I watched Young Adults? ( charlize theron) and HATED it…she reminded me of someone from Cahuna’s hometown who made my life miserable and I thought the story blew. Some funny lines but overall two thumbs down:( I really like her too so that was a big disappointment. I am currently poring The Descendents and will hopefully watch it in a week or two:) Hope things continue to swing uphill for you:) xo
