Gardening, music, life with MS
/23 I just read that our tax money, $75,000 to be exact, was used so that Don Trump Jr. could hunt and kill a rare argali sheep in Mongolia last year while the secret service accompanied him. So many things in this sentence are wrong. Why should tax money be spent protecting this man who […]
6/21 I’m a little bored today, feeling like a prisoner, usually I feel this way in August. It’s too hot to go outside plus I couldn’t even if I wanted to, I could hardly walk with my knee.I don’t want to go to the doctor, but if it keeps up I will. Still haven’t contacted […]
6/20 First day of summer! It’s been rainy here the past couple of days so I haven’t been outside. Plus, I have a new pain. My left knee is swollen and it is harder to walk than usual. Tooth update; I forgot, the dentist told me to stop the pain medication on Sunday, 6/14 and […]
The botanical gardens are opening up! This is wonderful for me. I got an email, that they will be opening with timed visits and everyone needs to wear a face mask. This Wednesday, the 24, is an opportunity for us volunteers to first go and check it out, also timed visits. I signed up for […]
6/20 Yesterday was Juneteenth. I’m sorry to say that I have not heard of this. It is front and center now because of all the protests and injustices still experienced by citizens of color. It is the real day of freedom from slavery. Not when the Emancipation Proclamation was written by Lincoln. After he was […]
6/17 Living with no affection from your mate is hard. Living with no affection for 10 years is excruciating. No hugs, kiss on the cheek, playfulness, flirting, no sparkle in the eyes, no rubbing feet, back, neck, not to mention being intimate. We live in a type of unspoken partnership. I didn’t sign up for […]
6/17 Now I’ve heard everything, they are disarming Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam! Can you believe it. I am no NRA supporter and firmly believe we need more gun control laws. Why do you need an AK-47?, just because you can? By the way, Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima are also retiring. That’s fine with […]
I went out today with the best intentions; the weather was low 60’s and cloudy. Perfect for me to be in the garden. My knees weren’t feeling great and I had a feeling that I might not be able to do what I wanted, I had to try. First item on my list was to […]
6/12 Time flies. Here we are back home already. I have to say going to NY and back is our fastest time yet. 6 hours each way, of course its not during the holidays, which is when we usually drive up. Visit was very nice. Every day we spent with my son, girlfriend and new […]
6/12 Home here in VA, watched the news for the first time and watched the confederate Tate’s being forcibly taken down by protesters with the police standing by. I don’t know how I feel about it. Originally I thought that there should be a history attached to the statues explaining the lost cause of the […]
