Well it is official, it is Raynaud's season for me. Went to work yesterday it was in the low 50s and windy. Silly me I knew it warm up some so I stuck with wearing shorts. So got out to the job where someone had run their car into the front of a building and we had to relocate some wiring now that the carpenters had rebuilt the face of the building. Anyway within about five minutes the fingers were turning white. The color came back pretty quickly but tis the season I think.

I hear you, Jeff! What a bummer to realize that raynaud's is still with us. Sometimes I wonder if it will forget to come back in the fall; I can pretend, can't I?! Dreary, damp, and cool day here, too...

Somehow it does seem to find it's way back Christel. I will say that this summer when I would swim it seemed to take longer for my fingers to turn white than other years - improvement maybe. Also the other semi bright spot was that on Friday when my fingers did their thing only the tips turned white which is unusual for me. Previously much more area on the fingers blanched. Too soon to tell if it is improvement or not.

Well this morning it was 43 here and the first job of the day was outside. I got just a touch of white going on briefly, the color came back quickly. Not bad but here we go at least where I live. I'm thinking I need to charge up the electric gloves and put them in my backpack. Stay warm guys.

Right on Steve, and glad to have the corn bags (made by nhNancy) for quick heating or the big one for the bed! Wonderful.
