Two weeks left on steroids

- Hey There ... It’s Me, Kathy Kathy Golemiec

How was your week? The weather has been up and down you just don’t know what to wear so I layer then I can either be too hot or take some off. But I like being hot

Vicky and I went to Healing Touch and when I got there my friend Dollie was there. It was good to see her. I hadn’t seen her since before Christmas. Vicky loves going to Healing Touch and we get a lot out of going. On the way home the weather changed so bad we had a freeze up. We got home before it got too bad though.

I didn’t do the flea market this week past. I was feeling very weak, so I went in and then didn’t even open. I turned around and went home. I will be there this week. I am eating pretty good and drinking the water. My hands are still giving me a lot trouble. It’s like the finger tips are still pins and needles.

I have two weeks left of being on the steroids. They are getting me off some of the pills I’m on and that should make me feel human again. I sure hope so anyway.

Tip of the week: When you are getting your shower make sure you are facing the taps, that way if you have a tumble you don’t hit the faucet.

Dad and Janet weren’t over this week. Maybe they will be coming over this week.

My brother and Wanda and Emily were over to visit for a bit last weekend. Woohoo, it was great to see them!

The steroids have me up to 153. Do you believe? I can’t.

I got Thunder’s nails done this week at Barkin Beauties in Westville. They do a great job on them there and they don’t cost too much. Only $ 10 for nails, woohoo that’s a good price so you don’t have to fight with him. He hates getting them done.

I notice a lot more people are saying hello to strangers with a real smile on their face. That’s a good thing.

I can’t wait for summer so we can go outside more often.

Here comes the sun, I sure hope it stays out.

One of the top super foods is artichoke. It has the right amount of soluble fiber that is important to lower your cholestero­l. Give it try. I will try it .

I made pudding this week. I made cold pudding on the stove. Don’t try it, it’s awful. Well it wasn’t as bad as the time I tried to make an apple pie and didn’t cut up the apples and wondered how they were going to flatten out.

I had chemo last week it went well. Two weeks to go for the next.

Thank you for the letters and gifts and putting me on your prayer list. Have a good week. Be careful on the ice.
