Y’all.

Henry Petunia and I, in all our autoimmune glory, are bundled, snuggled, huddled, nestled, snoodled up.

Pick a word – we are inside.

My word.

As advertised, everything is frosty and temperatures are falling in our part of the world.

The kicker is that we are now entering the “hard freeze” portion of this winter storm – so I know all of my fellow arthritis and autoimmune friends are feeling this bone deep as am I.

I have to be really pushed to ever bump my steroids now – as they have been such a raging nightmare over the years – but, for the next couple of days, I don’t think I’m going to have a choice.

Like many of us, I think I will have to add a three day taper to get through this one.

Thank goodness, Henry is on prednisone in the morning and a strong anti-inflammatory in the evenings – so, as long as he can stay cozy warm, except for going outside quickly, he should be okay. ❤

I’m watching him extra closely.

Inclement weather means some rough things for our family with work schedules too – but our people are safe (most importantly) and I will be so glad when this has passed.

Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other. Stay warm and safe out there.

Grace and Blessings.
