Thank you Joyce.

1. The midpoint of summer (believe it or not) is August 7th. Describe a perfect summer day. Have you had one this year? 

As you know, this has been a challenging year for me. I haven't been able to spend much time outside but I will say that any day I spend with James is a perfect day! 

2. What's one thing you wish you knew before starting high school? 

I don't have an answer for this one. I liked High School and had a lot of friends. 

3. What's something that bothers you if it's not done perfectly? 

This is going to sound silly, but since I haven't been myself, Marks been doing a lot of the cooking and clean up. He will leave the clean dishes there overnight. I just can't do that so I have been putting them away. 

4. What's the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? What's a trendy food you actually do enjoy and would say is definitely not overrated? 

Wow, I really don't have many answers for today's questions. 

I guess that I have been trying more high protein items which I believe are good for us. 

5. Wrapping it up this week with five fun this or thats...

personal stylist or personal chef? - Stylist
dance like nobody's watching or sing like nobody's listening? - Sing
unlimited tacos or free pizza? - Pizza
bookshelf organization-by size or by genre? - Size
ten minutes late or ten minutes early?  - Early

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

So tomorrow is my last day of getting off the steroids. Sadly, most of my body aches are all back and so far my legs are even weaker, but I can still walk on my own.

The new drug Dupixent for my lungs ended up getting approved for me since the doctor wrote to them. So that's good news. However, I want to check with my cardiologist to make sure it is safe with my heart medications.

Glad to hear that you were approved for the new medication for your lungs. Hope it works well for you. Sorry to hear about the body aches. Those are never fun.

Continuing to pray Debby, thank you for the update.

I'm so glad you're getting off the steroids, Debby. Don't forget that the pain will rebound after the steroids, meaning it will be much worse before settling down to your normal pain level. I stopped taking my Celebrex today since the grandgirls aren't coming for a long weekend after all, so I've got some rebound pain to face myself. We can do it together, my friend. You're not alone. Love, Andrea xoxo

I know how you love your James. I loved high school too! I have a lot more pet peeves than you I think - lol. Sorry your body aches are back - but give it a little while. Glad you were approved for the new medicine too - I hope it helps.

You truly have been put through the wringer this year, Debby. Praying for healing and better days ahead!

So glad your doctor intervened and you can get the new meds. Good idea to check out whether it will cause problems with your heart meds. Sometimes it is a delicate balance to get the meds right.
I'm always early. Hate being late to anything.

I'm glad to see everyone opts for being 10 minutes early! That's wonderful that your doctor championed for your new drug; nowadays it seems the medical community's afraid to challenge the insurance companies. Years ago they refused to cover one of Tom's prescriptions on the grounds "statistics" showed it wasn't beneficial; some such nonsense. I was like, who's the expert? Your numbers readers or the doctors?

I'm glad you were able to get the medicine snafu sorted and I hope it brings you lots of improvement. I'm happy you have James to brighten your days.

Debby, things have really been rough for you, healthwise. I do hope that this drug for your lungs will be okay with your heart meds.
