Three Things Thursday

1. I am feeling kind of icky today. Everyone around me seems to be sick, so I am hoping that it stays with just icky and not full blown SICK!

2.  They are saying we could get some ice tomorrow and then a full out ice storm next week, so if you guys don't hear from me that is probably the reason.

3. I have now been on thyroid medicine for a full week. Honestly, I don't feel that different. I have noticed that my sleeping is a bit better. I have struggled with my sleep patterns for years, and that is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. This week I have still been waking up during the night a couple of times, but can turn over and go back to sleep rather than staying away for an hour. My skin has also improved some. I was having horribly dry spots all over and those have almost all gone away. Hoping to see some changes on the scale, but will wait a couple weeks before reporting any scale news.The pharmacist told me it could take six weeks before the medicine started improving symptoms, so these small changes are exciting.
