My rash (poison ivy) is choosing to linger on...even getting more pronounced...before it goes away. My eye is less swollen so things are going in the right direction. I'm continuing to take Benadryl to help with the itching. I may have a positive side effect of the Prednisone. I seem to be more energetic the past couple of days. Steroids are supposed to also make you hungrier but so far I've been staying busy & haven't really felt those effects.

I did laundry today including the bedding from the Master bedroom, dusted & swiffered the MB, added pillows to the guestroom bed & cleaned the guest bathroom. Hubby took the several boxes of clothes for donation, so they're out of the way.
Making progress 😊

We watched the Adele special last night on CBS. She performed & was also interviewed by Oprah. It was interesting she said she lost around 100 lbs. over 2 years mostly by lifting weights, working out & focusing on staying active. She was going thru a divorce & used exercise to give her focus. I'm sure she ate less but that was not her main focus. She did say at some point she quit drinking. I think she is so talented, both as a writer & a singer. She bared her soul in her latest work.

We moved Book Club up a week because of Thanksgiving. So that's Wed. this week. (Chicken, artichoke hearts & mushrooms on the menu.) I have to decide what my contribution should be. Friday we're getting together for dinner with friends from out of town & 2 other couples. This is our original Thursday night dinner group & we haven't all gotten together in awhile.

Got in an afternoon walk. The weather is nice...not too hot or cold. I even saw a lovely sunset...something we don't always see thru the trees.

I'm making Salmon & fresh green beans for dinner.
