Snow

Snow!!!  Does not happen very often where I am at.  Such a beautiful thing, I am sure some would heartily disagree, especially those in heavy snow areas.  One thing I like about the snow is it's lack of heat....Dumb statement maybe, but my body does not like heat.  When I get over-heated by even one degree, my body kind of shuts down.  My walking slows, I have a black spot in my right eye's sight of vision, and am overwhelmed by fatigue.  So snow is very welcome at times, so long as I don't have to shovel it. Never will happen here as it usually disappears within an hour or two.
Today was a peppermint hot chocolate kind of day.  It is starting to feel a lot more like Christmas.  Not because of the snow, but because I feel so much better.  We put up the tree.  I painted some Christmas designs on our windows.  Hung some lights in the windows too.  I had the energy to do this, not all in one day, but over the course of a few days.  I like when I am able to actively participate.  Makes me wonder if I would have taken the steroids when I started going down hill in September would it have made a difference.  It is very hard to tell when I am having a true relapse or whatever else could be.  Steroids wreak havoc on your body, so it's is such a hard decision to make.
I can always tell when I feel better, because I sing.  When I am overwhelmed with fatigue, I don't sing.  It tires me out.  Today I am singing.
