Spring!!

I think Spring has arrived!  It has been beautiful, warm, stormy, chilly, a mix of everything.  One day within a 30 min time period it went from snowing/sleeting to sunshine back to sleet.  Weird. Yesterday was about 20* cooler than Sunday. 

I went out for a bit and pulled some weeds.  Noticed my Crinium Lily my mom gave me last yr is coming up.  I hope it blooms this yr.  It is so pretty. 

Well, school is going good.  We are on spring break this week.  I have homework and tests to study for.  Then we only have about 3 weeks when we go back.  I'll be registering April 28th for summer and fall classes.  I still enjoy school!!  I love learning.  It just gets hard sometimes, trying to balance it, work and home. I'm so looking forward to the end, tho and I can get into a job that is rewarding.  My prayer is that God will open a door somewhere in an organization that is mission minded.  I dont' know why.  I just have this on my heart to do and feel that is the direction God is taking me. 

I've been reading alot lately about anti-inflammatory foods.  Dr. Weil, Dr. Perricone and some others  have some info on their websites.  It's interesting. 
During my reading I saw something about soaking nuts and why they should be soaked.  It makes sense.  So I tried some.  Yum!  I love the taste of them.  I read, too that Dr. Oz keeps some walnuts in a jar of water at his desk. 
I'm trying to eat more veggies, more lean protein, less carbs, sugars, processed foods.  I know I have to stay away from any kind of processed meats, as much as I love a good roasted hotdog.  I know it will be a 'one step at a time' process. 
I go to the bone/joint dr on Friday.  I've been having chronic pain/inflammation.  My reg. dr wants me to see a rheumatologist as well.  I don't look forward to all of this but want to find out what is going on.

Well, I"m off, have things to do before work. 
~~til later
