Churg Strauss Still Going Strong Today!!

Elephant Shoes

Hope everyone had a glorious day! Mine started with every two hour nebulizer treatments and being very sluggish physically. I'm assuming the lack of oxygen plays a part in that. Often times my asthma is worse during night and in the morning, despite the fact that my body should be in a more relaxed state. You would think that we would require less "air" while sleeping, I mean how taxing can it be to just sleep? Maybe I'm having dreams that are exciting-too bad I don't remember them-especially if they are good! Since being on the array of medicines, I hardly dream....or at least I don't recall them if I do.
I had few things I had to do today, and one of those things was to go grocery

shopping. Recently, I mentioned that I've started using a coupon system that saves me a lot of money. Well my groceries came to $172.93, after my coupons combined with the store's weekly sale, I paid $82.41!! I will say that I usually save close to 75% off my bill (Publix seems to be the better money saver store), however, I went to Kroger today, so my savings weren't as great. But, the way I see it, anything over a 50% savings is HOT,HOT, HOT!! So, people get to that couponing, and free up some of that much needed money!
On the downside of my shopping was my aching feet due to my neuropathy, and

halfway through a sudden migraine!! If any of suffer from migraine like I do, you will try just about anything to get rid of them. Tonight, I took 100mg of Sumatriptran, the generic for Imitrex and 500mg of prescription Naproxen, which my Doc says is the equivalent of the new Treximet. And, then when I got no relief after 45 minutes, I put a heating pad to the bottom of my feet-a first, and like magic-it worked!! So, this going to be my next migraine routine-drugs and heat to the feet!!

On another note, going back to money saving-I was blessed again today by a fellow Freecycler with Aloe Vera plant that is over 60 years old!! It is huge and beautiful and will hopefully help with rashes I get on my forearms!!

Well, my rambling has gone on long enough, I think I'm gonna take advantage of the drowsy side effect of the meds I took for the migraine, and get some sleep. I do hope that you all will take a minute and read something wonderful and uplifting, maybe a chapter or even just a verse or two in Psalms or Proverbs, or any other good reading, and get ourselves a good night's sleep, too!! Ready, set, GO!!
