Gardening, music, life with MS
We are in the middle of a stifling heat wave. Everyday for a week its been in the 90’s. Unfortunately you know that means I am unable to do any work outside. I am pleased to see the Hydrangeas are in full bloom and so is the Lavender, Daisies, and Lamb’s Ear. The Lilies are […]
After a setback from last month, when we traveled to NY, I’ve been back following the app, My Fitness Pal, the free version. I’m weighing myself monthly, usually between the 6th and 8th of each month. I honestly wasn’t expecting any loss because I’ve gone over the 1200 calories a day a few times. I’ve […]
Today during my MRI they played YouTube radio, classic rock. The first song was Rod Stewart, “Maggie May,” (I did not name my dog after this song, her name was Maggie Mae, (from what else, a Beatles song). Anyway I love this song, it brings me back to middle school, no specific memory. I am […]
This morning I had an MRI of brain, neck and spine. It’s been at least 2 years so I’m happy that he ordered new ones. They were with and without contrast. This time they put the IV in before I even went into the MRI. This was a smart move, previously they have always waited […]
So many things to do and nothing to do. My head is ready to explode! I’m not sleeping well. I go to sleep easy and wake up anywhere from 1 to 4, watch some TV to try and stop my mind and sometimes I fall back asleep and sometimes I don’t. I am overwhelmed thinking […]
The Peonies, Azaleas, Iris, and Columbine are done. The roses initial bloom has since lessened. Blooming right now are one of my favorite perennials, Foxglove. I feel so fortunate to have them come back, so far for the past 7 years. The Astilbe is also blooming. I planted some Alstromeria and it is still blooming […]
Since I’ve started seriously recording my calorie intake on My Fitness Pal, I’ve been weighing myself monthly. Since my starting weight of 143.2 on April 8, 2021. The 2nd weigh in on May 6, 2021 was 140.4. I lost 3 lbs. I’m happy with that. There is a problem in that since May 6, we […]
We are back from NY and I have concluded that I am a miserable person. How have I come to this conclusion? Very easily, since most of the trip I felt put upon, slighted and downright miserable. After years of therapy, I do recognize that no one can make you feel this way, that it […]
I couldn’t wait to see the lady that lent me the scrapbook, to discuss the contents and find out exactly whose scrapbook it belonged to. I worked with her last week and the first question I asked was who’s scrapbook was it? Well I was quite surprised when she said it was hers! So much […]
A beautiful time of year. It’s weather has been perfect for me to be in the garden. I get such joy seeing everything come to life. Below are what’s blooming now:
