Thank you for all the amazing, insightful, lovely comments to my "GREEN" rant! I will address each and every one of them individually as they are all much too powerful to go unanswered! Green is a colour of my past... may she rest in peace. Today is a day filled with purples & blues... like a summer, sunset over an Arizona desert sky!!! I have my art work, my writing, the sunshine, and YOU, my virtual friends!
Many thanks.

PS ... rest assured my rants are always short lived. ; )
Wow! Take note everybody, the sun has got her hat on hip hip hooray! The sun has got her hat on and she’s coming out to play!
I love you 😃💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
Is that mask materials?😳
YES! All over dining room table, no less! Hahahahahahaha!
Like the model. 😉
Love the blue and purple hearts!!!!
Your colours today and the number nine. I’m loving yellow the number 5. Nuts I know. We all have our quirks. X
Totally cool!!!!!!! I had no idea... I would have been looking for 9's and yellow!!!!!
Thanks for your understanding mostly I get 🤨🤨🤨🤨. For seeing numbers in colour. Purple doesn’t have a number. Not how I’d arrange it. Hope your joy overflowed into today. My black crow is trying to land on my shoulder. Our local elections have helped the tree campaign but not as much as we had hoped perhaps.
Maybe it's not a Black Crow, it's just a Blackbird?
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing… "
The Beatles
Wings? well Paul anyway, Red Rose Speedway, played it to death. Thanks for reframing for me.
So love that song,
Great you are feeling better. What a difference a day makes and all that.....
I could identify where you were coming from. It’s frustrating seeing people around you living seemingly normal lives, going with the flow, not having to plan their life to take in the need to rest. It always makes me feel pathetic.
The sun shining, a good nights sleep, friends who listen to you express the frustrations of this dreadful disease and of course a sense of humour all help.
It’s great to know we’re not alone.
It is GREAT to know I am not alone!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Hi Mamici1. Just curious did you ever experiment taking your Pred a different way. ie not with Yoghurt to see if your absorbsion was any better?
Hi, Yes, for the first 8-10 weeks after I was diagnosed, I had porridge for breakfast... then I wanted to stop taking the Lansoprazole, so I started eating Natural Greek Yogurt for breakfast and then taking Pred. How do I know if I have an absorbsion issue?
Not sure, I just know that if I take my Pred with anything milk based I have a bad day. I (personally) think it stops the full dose entering your system. milky foods line the stomach ... I take mine with a small piece of whole meal toast. The only carbs I have. Just my own experience x
Hmmmmm. I don't et any bread... but I could go back to the porridge and see if I notice a difference. thanks!
...made with milk?
coconut milk...
Oh I’ll give that a try x
Do you take lansoprazole or similar?I do and porridge😳
What a truly vivacious smile you have Melissa - you are radiating something today wherever it is coming from - and purples and blues are THE perfect palette !! I hope the sun shines for you ALL day !

Cheers Rimmy! YUP, it's a brand new day! Always rest assured that the source of my rats is never long lasting... it's like the yucky thoughts bubble to the top, I regurgitate them and then I feel sooooo much better!
OH! Do not LOOK at the stuff on that table!!!!!!!!
I just had a 'wee' peek - hard NOT to be a little curious 
XX
".. a wee peek." *laughing*
Just had to go back and have a look at the table when you said not to 👿 Mine was so much worse yesterday making pics with my grand daughter. Then progressed to sticking feathers in her hair instead of on the card. It was very fetching if I say so myself. Happy crafting!
Sounds like a lovely day, Hollyseden!
Last night on FaceTime, I watched Max "scamper" across his living/dinning room, and the he proceeded to walk around the dinning room table about a "hundred times," all while attempting to put on a GREEN (no less) T shirt! His attempt was actually just placing the shirt on the top of his head, but he thought he was putting it on... : )
🐀 ?
Hahahahahahahahaha.... Neither my rats or the source of my rants last very long!
Mmmmmmm, yum, yum, yum !
Happy creating mamici!
Love your hair!💕
Ohhhhh, thanks! It need to be cut desperately! I look like a caricature of myself!
The hair says it all, Mel.
Heck! Over an hour ago I posted a reply to you, and where is it??????????? Gone! Anyway, I wrote; Radiant mamici1!. You are even wearing purple and blue.
'Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again'.
BANISH THE GREEN!!!!!!!!!!
Green is my absolute favourite colour, maybe not for faces though.
I can see the lovely purple sofa!! Gorgeous. Glad you are smiling again Melissa. 😄😄😄
Ahhhhh, ha! Yes, the infamous purple sofas! Thank you!
You are such an amazing lady ☺😀😁. Your writing is spectacular. Xxx
You are too kind....
Like a summer sunset over an Arizona desert sky.....love that!😁
Thank you. Some of the most incredibly beautiful sunsets I have even seen, were in an Arizona desert.
What is the typical interval between a dose taper and a resulting PMR flare?
Top of the Morning to you!! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all. Just a little photo and message to help you raise an Irish smile
