OH.....SO TIRED

I had a Doctor appointment today with my regular Doctor, tomorrow I see the Rheumatologist and get my SED rate re-checked, but I am just so, so, so tired. I can't really sleep at night, ( the prednisone does not help with sleeping) and I normally can't sleep, so it is a problem. I had blood work for my thyroid done today and see a thyroid specialist on August 1st. I am on 200 mg of Synthryoid and 50 mg of cytomel for the thyroid and it still is out of whack. This thyroid issue is what makes me so tired and lacking of motivation, I so wish I could get it under control...along with the inflammation in my body I feel like a slug....
I did have a great conversation with Brenda last night and she told me all the details of the failed "maiden voyage"...scary to say the least. Also had a nice conversation with Rachel, the poor soul, she works too hard and has so much stress the last 12 months. I am hoping she can get to the cottage up north on Wednesday with the rest of us gals and relax a bit.
Good news on the art fair in South Haven Jean. I hear that Scott is going to do Tiger stadium next. Make sure he gets you, Keith, Brenda and Dolly in the picture!!!!
My friend Val is still in Ireland. When I have the energy, I will write a blog about all the mishaps, ( mice, no electric, no power, fire in the place, car crash, eating only potatoes, cold and wet....) if that gives you an idea. It gets worse, this trip costs 12,000 dollars. ( not a typo)
Suffice to say, I think she and her daughter will be glad to get back into the good old USA.

Aunt Jean filled us in on Val and her daughter in Ireland. Sounds like quite a story...
