Garden Wars: Identifying the Culprits
Somebody keeps eating my corn; I don’t think I’ll be getting any this year.. It’s happening again. Someone is snacking in my garden. Snacking on tender green shoots that should be growing into corn, beans and sunflowers; snacking on the tops of carrots; snacking on peas; and even snacking on a potato plant. I’ve been…

Rheum Update: LAWs, Eyes, and NYC
Ahh..this is the life! I’ve been thinking for a while now that I need to write up an RA update, but things have been busy around here, and I just haven’t had time! Some of my “school year” commitments have subsided now that it’s summertime, but warm weather also means we are traveling more and…

What Does Faith Look Like?
A while back I posted about trying to memorize the book of James from the Bible. I’m still chugging along, with several others, but I must say that getting through chapter 2 was much more difficult than chapter 1, for whatever reason. You can view my post of James 1 in Photos here. As we…

True Confessions of a Plant Hoarder
Really, I enjoy gardening because I like playing in the dirt! I think I have a problem. In my desperate attempt to get things to grow in my garden and with my love for all things green and flowery, I think I have become a plant hoarder. Let me back up just a bit. When…

Vegetable & Flower Gardens – Progress to Date
It’s high time for a gardening update! I had a very late start to my garden this year, due to the unusually long winter that we experienced here in Michigan. I started some of my seeds indoors in March, but wasn’t able to plant my “early spring” seeds outside until April 21st (I really need…

Brew Blog: Hideout Brewery & Home Brew Update
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the Brew Blog, and indeed we did take a bit of a hiatus on our tour. However, we have been to one new one (Tom several times now): Hideout Brewery. This place is aptly named, as it’s in such a strange location, you would never guess it was…

April (Snow) Showers Bring May Flowers
Snow storm on April 19th I’m going to be honest: I have complained about the weather a LOT this year. January wasn’t bad, February was about on par with average, and I began to gear up for spring come March. You know the whole “in like a lion, out like a lamb” thing? Well, I’d…

Bending the LAWs
I’ve been struggling with decreased mobility, stiffness and some pain with use in my LAWs (Little Arthritic Wrists) for some time now. Even though they are not so inflamed and painful from rheumatoid disease as they once were, I’m suffering the results of the damage done. At my last visit to the rheumatologist, my doctor…

An Upbeat Update
I had my latest rheumatology appointment last week. Overall, I would say that the appointment went very well. I told my doctor that I had been feeling well, but that my wrists continued to be stiff, sometimes sore, weak and definitely had a very limited range of motion — though they are far better than…

The Impression that I Get
I have my next appointment with my rheumatologist on Tuesday. It’s hard to believe that it has already been six months since I was last there. And that I’ve had very minimal pain or symptoms in the past six months. I have to say, I am glad I decided to make the switch to Humira…
