Colder than a Highway Patrolman's Smile here in Maryland this morning. I feel like such a sissy -- I grew up in Iowa and North Dakota, but the older I get the less I seem to be able to handle this cold -- or extreme heat. There is, however, about a 33 second period in the fall and spring where I'm perfectly comfortable.

My tummy is finally getting used to the Stalevo 100 -- after being off meds for more than a year (my choice), it feels great to experience something close to "normal" again... I space my pills out during waking hours then take my first one right after getting up. I think there's some value -- at least for now -- in remembering how it feels to be unmedicated first thing in the morning so I can appreciate the difference.

I hope all are well as well can be! I have an ortho appointment on Thursday -- we're removing some hardware from a knee surgery I had 24 years ago.
