I Scream, You Scream
I am screaming with happiness on the inside because I love ice cream. A lot. I made a big ol’ sundae after dinner. I used TJ’s soy ice cream, choc syrup, strawberries, coconut and GRANOLA.

The Doc is In
So, my doctor’s appointment went well today!I went to my primary care physician so, she wasn’t really able to diagnose me (without an MRI) but she did feel around and said there was no real swelling or liquid behind my knee cap.
