So today I had another email from MoveOn.org letting me know that I can start a petition for free, no strings attached, should I so desire to do so. I would love to start a petition asking the government to fund schools better, with a particular emphasis on money to teach critical thinking skills, which I believe are sadly lacking in the good ole USA. But I don’t think enough people would get it. Understand it, I mean, or the reasons it is necessary.
Doctor put me back on low-dose Prednisone. Started Monday, was 75% better by Wednesday. Still some pain, but it’s arthritis, not whatever crap that causes the rest of it. 
Can actually DO things again. Clean, rearrange, tidy up, cook (?. Haven’t actually tried that, yet.) Mood is 100% better. Not being in constant pain seems to make you much more cheery. Wonder why? So am I a happy camper right now. Time will tell how this plays out, but I am just enjoying NOW, which really, when you think about it, is all there actually is. NOW. Be Here Now. Jon Kabat-Zinn. Love that book.
