Hi everyone -- and thanks!

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to say " thank you! " to those who offered such nice

welcomes and info. I checked out some of the links and was amazed at

the info they contained.

I'm a high school teacher and we're in our final days of class --

YAY!!!!!! But the last week is really busy and I have a pile of final

exams and papers to grade with no energy to accomplish it....sigh. I

just keep telling myself " two more days, two more days. " It will get

done.

My joint pain has been driving me insane. My feet hurt so badly

yesterday and my ankles are really swollen. I was fixing myself a

bite to eat today and my left knee started hurting really badly and

then locked. It took a few minutes to get it working again asnd it

still hurts.

I have to go for more lab work tomorrow morning before school and I'm

also scheduled for an MRI on Friday.

I'm a total " dog person " and I was so excited to see in the paper

today that there is a litter of English bulldog pups available in our

area! I have an adult male bulldog who is a total love and my son's

buddy; I've been wanting a little girl bully so much! We're going to

see the puppies on Sunday afternoon and, from the pictures, I think I

know which one will be mine!

Any suggestions on names? We give our dogs " people names " because

they're part of the family. Right now, I'm considering , Molly,

or Hermione.

Hugs,

-Anne
