nearly the end of the summer holiday!

well, here we are, just 1 more week until Ellie goes back to school. i cannot believe how quick the holiday's have gone, doesn't seem like 6 weeks!
any way, just a quick update, i had an MRI scan done on my hand last week. this is to see if anything can be done to get some movement back in my thumb, sadly my other fingers are also going on strike now. i think i may have at least one 'new' nodule at the base of my middle finger on the same hand, my left one and being left handed this is causing many problems, especially when i try to write, hmm, my handwriting was never great but now it's even worse!!!
i have to admit (but only here because no one reads this) this arthur is getting me down, again at the moment, just wish i could get some energy, just a little would be fine. my sleeping is bad and along with all the side effects of the meds i feel so tired all the time, it's not fair, actually it's not fair!!!
tell me again what i did to deserve this curse that is rheumatoid arthritis?

i guess i should write down my latest crazy dream?!!

it's not as crazy as some of my others but it was a tad strange!!!

i went to town to get a tattoo because (in this dream) my littlest daughter Sarah was at pre school and Ellie was at school, so i had a few hours to myself! when i got to the tattoo place a saw the tattoo i wanted and copied it, by hand onto a piece of paper, it seemed big but hey it was what i wanted! all i can remember about it was that it had lots of rings, but they were like diamond engagement type rings!!! when i showed the tattooist and told him i wanted it on my chest (i would never really have a tattoo there, so odd!) he said " aren't you a bit old to have a tattoo?" "what are you, 48, 49?" i was shocked, i said "no, I'm only 35!" but he wouldn't believe me!! that's when i woke up, i was tempted to run and get some botox done quick!!!


until next time, that's it for my dull life!!!
