Gardening, music, life with MS
P is back from Brazil/Argentina. The week before he was in Lisbon, then onto Johannesburg. I feel good when he is gone. I’m more motivated and I accomplish more. I attribute this to his constant criticism, being told what “I should do,” and no validation for the things I do accomplish. When he is not […]
Autumn is my favorite time of year. I welcome the cooler temperatures and the ability to work outside in the garden. We got married in October. Our honeymoon was a road trip through Skyline Drive into the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. The feeling I get when I see the trees changing to different colors is […]
Unbelievable! I fully expected a weight gain, I haven’t logged my calories in over a month and have pigged out on cake, candy, nachos, etc. (see 10/24, Diet and Exercise post). Much to my surprise the scale read 135.6! How can that be? Is my scale broken? To check, I went and weighed myself on […]
Tomorrow is the midterms. For the past week, that’s all they talk about on TV. It is important because it could give power back to the Republicans. If the party was as it used to be, I wouldn’t have a problem, but the Trump Republican’s, there I said it, are very scary. They are still […]
One of the reasons I haven’t entered any new posts is because I got very discouraged after my article, “Gardening with MS” was published in Brain and Life, August/September. I was hoping it would bring traffic to this blog and I could interact with others dealing with MS. The article did attract readers and nice […]
Things I need to do that are overwhelming me. Answer email from Ancestry; write down new information from email; email my cousin the information that I received from Ancestry; Sort it all out in my head Email fellow volunteers for garden shop to request coverage for time I’ll be away this November and December Open […]
I have had my DNA tested through Ancestry.com and was a member for a little while. During that time I have made a family tree with the information I had and also learned from my eldest cousin. I had also bought my kids test kits and they did theirs. The wonderful thing about Ancestry is […]
Nope and nope. Since returning from NY I have not been tracking my calories on My Fitness Pal, and have not gotten back on my stationary bike. I was doing pretty good while P was gone, but still not recording calories. Since he came back bearing gifts of chocolate nougat and 8 different bars of […]
This would have been John Lennon’s 82nd birthday. I can’t even imagine, (get it). Paul turned 80 in June and is still the same good natured, talented, still performing and touring, good looking, (for his age) man. Ringo, the oldest Beatle, turned 82 in July. He is still charismatic, he’s also performing and touring, and […]
This is the third day that I’ve not been feeling good. On Wednesday I was back to volunteering at the garden and it felt good. On Thursday I woke up feeling exhausted and had a hard time getting out of bed, although I slept good. My yearly mammogram was scheduled for 10 am and I […]
