9/8/13

I gave in today and got the prednisone pack the dr. prescribed for me over a month ago.  I hate taking pills, but I hate the pain that I'm feeling even more.  I can't wait to see how I feel when I wake up in the morning.

Today I tried to set goals.  I did it contrary to what I know about planning (from being a teacher)...you start with the big and work to the small...making sure that you are moving forward.  I changed about half way through, but here are my goals, for today.  When I started thinking about these goals, it began with what I can do today, and what I can do this week.  I'm not sure that will get me where I really want to be.  I may review these from the big picture and then work backwards, I don't know.
