shots and costco and yuck!

 They were as fun and exciting as I thought they'd be! 

The nurse brings in the supplies, then says that the doctor will be right in.  For some reason this does not panic me at all, I think because I know it will help?  Maybe because I purposefully didn't delve into the side effects, because I don't want to know ha.  I did mention that my face got really flushed the next day, last time, but the dr. didn't seem concerned.  I told him I don't like to take any meds, I only take vitamins, minerals, and don't even like to take ibuprofen unless I really need to.  He agreed, said he only takes that if he has a raging headache.  He also said I should keep all of my body parts for as long as I can, and see if we can get by with these methods.  There are gel injections too, for when these don't work as well.  

So no new knees in my near future, anyway.  

Camille came to my appointment with me, so we could do something fun afterwards.  Well, Sonja had the day off from work and wanted to get out, so we drove and picked her up, and went somewhere fun:  Costco.  I like getting heavy cream there, it's so much cheaper.  I got seltzer and some Diet Coke, shh I know they're not great for you, but I enjoy one a few times a week.  The huge-0 bag of Nestle's chocolate chips for my cookies, some Built Puff bars for traveling (they are high protein, and high yumminess!), and some UnReal coconut bars, 3 grams of sugar, and extra doses of yum.  Also some pork chops, haven't had them in forever and they sound good.  Only $1.99 a pound at Costco.  tar
