Gearing Up for Winter

Today a cold front came through knocking me for a loop. Reminding me winter is very close. I came down this morning with a rheumatic fever and my joints turned achy and red. Nut im fighting it. Today I rested. I took a pain reliever on top of ny normal doses. Im hoping this doesn't keep me down long its bearable. But I hope I can fight to keep it that way.

Today is just  an awful reminder of what I went through last winter. The pain was unlike anything I have ever endured in my life. I can't help but behind a funk when I wake up with a chill in the house.  I get very depressed.  I can't help but fear if this winter is going to be as bad as last winter. The negative Nancy in me says your doomed crawl under your blankets and don't come out till next june.the positive side of me says dummy get prepared. Learn from last winter.
So I stole my moms space heater...stocked up on socks (no mom I didn't steal yours I baught my own) and baught me mittens of all kinds. If I let my fingers get even slightly cold im done for. It takes me forever to warm back up.  I also baught three bottles of that aches and pain bubble bath soap. My Granny knitted me a scarf. So I plan to keep as warm ad possible if I leave the house. Hopefully with me learning a bit more about my pain management this winter/fall will he more bearable.  As long as I avoid flus and cold weather It should be smooth sailing!
