Fall Is Here!

Fall is here! I absolutely love fall and everything it stands for - especially here in New Hampshire. The leaves change colors, pumpkin flavored everything is out, I can whip out the boots, sweaters and scarves; it's a great season. The only thing I'm sad about this year is all of the food I can't eat at the fair! (I'm going tomorrow). I love fair food. But let's list my favorites: caramel apples, popcorn, blooming onions, fried dough. Basically all things that will send me straight to a disgusting fair porta-potty - gross. Le sigh. I refuse NOT to have fried dough though. Tell me how can you pass up greasy deliciousness covered in cinnamon and powdered sugar? You can't would be the correct answer. Good thing I have this trusty card:

In other, unrelated news, I was hoping that as I tapered off the prednisone (I'm down to 15 mg now!) the symptoms would go away, but that seems to not be the case. Especially the hot flashes - I feel like those have only gotten worse! This is me every day:

Luckily for me, fall is that wonderful time of year where my office has turned the heat on, but the air conditioner is still in the window, so I can just switch back and forth as my middle-aged-woman acts up.
