TMI, what's that ?

So we ventured out of the house today to grab a late lunch.

I had done some walking last night and my legs were already tired today but I did walk a bit on the way to my truck. 

We decided on BJ's brewhouse not thinking anything of the fact that football was on since neither of us give a shit about it. 
Sorry I know all my Cali friends were all about the 49s.
Anyhow I was wanting avocado egg rolls so bad I could taste them and then the mean hostess said it was an hour and half to 2 hour wait. Are you serious? Not waiting that long to eat any place sorry! 

So we ventured to panera which ended to being a bad idea since it made my stomach churn like whoa. 
In paneras defense I probably should not have gone with black bean soup with the current state of my stomach being so up in the air. Had a nice lunch and headed to target to pick up a few things.
How does a few things always turn into $50+ ?

Anyhow while wheeling around target (hot damn are my arms on fire now) I saw a little girl talking and pointing at me and she got all awkward when I stared back. Don't people tell their kids that staring is not polite? 
It made me feel gross and self conscious, I mean I already feel gross because of my steroid moon face, bloated Buddha belly and stretch marks so I don't really need any other reason to feel self conscious. 

I wheeled myself around the whole store though which I was proud of, usually I get too tired to continue to do so. I like being able to do so though it makes me feel more Independent. Although I must admit I was quite jealous of the old man who zipped by on his power scooter! 
Picked up some probiotics to help my stomach as well as some milk thistle that is supposed to help my liver. 
Since my enzymes were high I will give anything a try. 

After target we had to run to the pet store which I just stayed in the car. 
Coming home I told andrew there was no way I was guna be able to make it from the truck all the way into the garage without sitting cut surpribgly I did! 

At this point my stomach was killing me! 
Trust me when you feel like you are about to experience a poo volcano and you had to butt bump up 14 stairs it's uncomfortable! So I make it up the stairs get into my red chair (it's the one I use to boost myself off the floor) grab my walker do my faster power walk possible with my Frankenstein walk and get to the bathroom only to see the seat lid is down. At this point I feel like I may cry I sit down on the stairs butt slide over to the toilet lift the lid slide back all while yelling "OH FUCK" and clenching my cheeks together. Back on stairs boost myself back up to walking position get into bathroom and sweat Pants will not come off at this point I'm convinced I'm guna shit myself and finally they come loose! 

Damn you panera! I then follow up with 3 tums and really wanted a ginger ale but I am out so I settle for water with lemon. 
I kinda wonder what my neighbors think as I was yelling on the stairs haha 
I don't like them much so I don't really care what they think! 

Anyhow I think that was a personal best for making it up the first 2 flights of stairs hah. 

Andrew and I were discussing moving options earlier and I had told him that maybe if we do end up staying here we could move our living room into our now "office" which is actually the dining room and that would make it a hell of a lot easier to be social. I mean I'm not sure it would fit up here but hanging out on the level with the bathroom is generally what I like to do. I don't like having to have a butt bump emergency like earlier. 
I think that would be a creative solution to making this place work for us for at least the next 6 months. I mean granted I would still have to do the 18 stairs daily to come down and do stuff in the kitchen etc but it would be nice to be able to watch a movie with my boyfriend on the couch ya know? I like how I write this out like someone is going to answer me :) 

I do love however that my wheelchair was folded up and toast was trying to open it hah she really loves snuggling up in that chair for some reason. She's a cutie! 

Currently I am beyond sore. I can feel all the muscles in my shoulders and neck throbbing. Wheeling yourself around is some serious business! I cant wait to drop some pounds so that it's a little less difficult! 

Steroids currently at a 60mg/20mg every other day rotation. Hoping by March I can start weening down the larger number! 

I am really hoping my liver enzymes continue to go back. All the other tests were normal besides my ALT. 
It was at 105 U/L and is now at 72 U/L but considering a few months ago it was at 19 U/L I was feeling a bit stressed about it. I'm waiting on an email reply from my doctor which well I hate waiting! I don't even know if they are open tomorrow or not :/ 

I'm ready for my grocery delivery tomorrow! I have so many things I am looking forward to making. 

Lately I'm obsessed with hummus, red pepper and feta Rollups! Quick and easy and well delicious! I wish my bedroom fridge was bigger hah. 

This weeks agenda includes:

Steak tacos with cilantro and onion with jalapeƱo rice 

Basil, sundried tomato and feta stuffed chicken with corn 

Turkey dogs with baked beans 

Turkey bacon, guacamole and cheese wrap 

Chicken with cilantro yogurt sauce with spinach and feta 

Mini pizza made with 100 calorie tortilla factory tortilla, turkey pepperoni and low fat cheese :)

Ok all that sounds delicious so now I must log off and stop thinking about food haha 

Hope you all had a great weekend!
