Cold, cold and colder?


Actually, compared to the rest of the country we faired much better than most!
Minneapolis, to our north and west and the rest of the mid-west had double digit minus temps, singular minus ones in the northeast and middle Atlantic states as far south as Georgia had single degree temps!

Ours in comparison, here in Florida, didn't even go down to the thirties as promised, we had forty degrees with only a high of fifty-six, which is still very chilly!

Most of the winters, in all the twenty-seven years that we have experienced since moving here, that our somewhat usual has been having just a couple of weeks clustered with colder weather then all would go back to our norms of fifties at night and mid-seventies during the day. But this has not been at all predictable.

Sure things change... all those years ago during the summer we used to have daily afternoon showers, like clockwork.
Not one to keep tract of such things to be absolutely certain when that exactly changed to being so unpredictable is not in my memory bank of recent years...like so much of that has been lost...
All I know is that some days it won't rain at all and that some days it appears to not want to stop, how odd?
I suppose that is more the norm for weather that is being unpredictable? And should never be of my concern?

Any-who, shall we move on?
I can't hear you!
But that's alright, I'm going the medical route now... whether you are there or not...sorry that you decided to leave... oh well...
I called Shared Solutions, the company associated with TEVA the pharmaceutical company that makes my MS daily injection medication called Copaxone. They have 24/7 nursing staffs to answer questions at their toll free line. 
My reasoning was simple, I had a question that I thought they could answer.
"Why were my last two days' shots locations, my right thigh and my stomach, so numb that I did not feel either injection at all?"
And I did SEE them go in.

RN Debbie said that that was a neuro doc's question, not hers. I did ask why? She did say due to it being most likely the MS causing it... hmm...
Although, we discussed other things, about how many times and why I had been on the steroids and also about my erratic timing of my daily injections, and me not being fond at all about taking them, now after three and half years just about...
Sub or conscientiously not really wanting to take them at all!

On that note of more confusion, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with 
you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
