It's a Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood

What a great day! Bet you didn’t think you’d hear that from me…but small goals are being achieved and someone has to be happy about them.

So today I got my “good” W2 from my employer after mentioning the IRS to them. I guess some things are better left with a calm but forceful reminder. Now I can file my taxes like a good little girl and hopefully get a tax return? Keep your fingers crossed!

Also, I ordered a pair of jeans this week since I have a dinner with my girl friend this week. Much larger than anything I have ever worn in my entire life and hopefully this will be the last time. But the good news is that my butt totally doesn’t fill them out! I guess that means my butt is still the same size as it used to be. I know it is and so are my legs since my old jeans still fit except for the waist. I’m not sure I feel very sexy in these jeans but they’ll do. You have no idea how weird it was to put pants on that have a zipper and button…first time since Christmas. But I’m not buying anymore because hopefully they will cure me and I can go back to the skinny jeans or even need to buy a size smaller. Yippee – real pants!

I also got a great blankie from my Mom today. She has made them for everyone but me and boy was I surprised when the mailman brought me a package from her. It is sooooo cute! It has cats on one side and an oatmeal fleece on the other. I can’t wait to nap and snuggle up with it. I love it – thanks Mom you made my day!

Apparently there was also an article by Dr. Paul Donahue from Sunday’s paper discussing Cushing’s and how long it takes to get it resolved. Take a read for yourself.

Also in today’s New England Journal of Medicine there was a scientific case written up on a 50-year old woman who had Cushing’s since she was very young and finally got cured. Since this is a subscription based product and very scientific, you’ll have to ask me to send it to you if you have a mind for science and would like to read it.

Suddenly today I feel not so crazy and a bit better, I think the drugs are kicking back in…keep your fingers crossed, praying, wishing, whatever…it might be working!
