Thanks for the encouragement girls! You are both doing great too!
Yes, that was me adding wheat grass to my smoothies. I buy it at a juice shop. They grow it fresh, juice it, then put it in little containers (the size of a salad dressing to-go container). I keep them in my freezer so if I run out of fresh greens I just put in a couple of those. It's supposed to be really good for you, but it costs more than buying fresh greens so I don't us it all the time. If I were home more I would grow it myself; it doesn't look too hard. I can't remember what the equipment costs since it's been a while since I looked into it, but you can find it on the internet.
We did have a good birthday celebration--no cake though. We went out for brunch after church. Kelsey and her boyfriend came and René and Dustin. Funny you should pray for a good night's sleep for me tonight of all nights--I have to redo an at home sleep study because when I did it a couple weeks ago, it didn't record. I have to connect wire to my finger, have a strap around my chest, an air thingy up my nose, and the little box just laying there for me to roll over on! I didn't sleep too well last time because I was nervous about pulling something out! The rheumatalogist wants it done to see if interruptions in my sleep could be causing the muscle and joint pain. The sleep specialist doesn't think so, she gave me some tips to retrain myself to sleep through the night and gave me some sleep medicine to use. She thinks I'll be able to go off it when I see her in May.
