Gardening, music, life with MS
As I was flicking through channels last week I came across, QVC. They were featuring an iRobot i7 + WiFi Self Emptying Robotic Vacuum, that you control using your phone. The price was $399. w/free S&H. I quickly went on Amazon to check the price and the same one was 699. I knew it was […]
This morning…. 136.8 lbs. To be expected since I have been to Bruster’s, http://Bruster’s three times in the past few weeks, two waffle cones and one banana split, (even though I substituted that for dinner). Have also eaten out and made BBQ ribs in the crockpot, with corn on the cob. P. has been home […]
I have been watching the new documentary, ” My Life as a Rolling Stone.” The first episode was about Mick Jagger. I love learning new things about people I’m interested in and I did learn through the history and interviews given for this documentary. I hadn’t known that Mick and Keith were from the same […]
This morning I ventured outside because the humidity had broke, the temperature outside was 66, and watching the weeds take over was driving me crazy. I had the usual argument with myself of going outside or riding the bike. I made it out at 10:30, (sorry I have a hard time making it out earlier) […]
I have to pee, real bad, all of a sudden. As I push my walker towards the bathroom, I’m saying “please God let me make it, Please?” I sit down, say, “thank you” and nothing! This happens every day, its called hesitation. I am taking Trospium Chloride ER caps, 60 mg. once daily in the […]
Since my essay was published in Brain & Life, I have received several responses. I’m thrilled that all of them have been positive. I also have notifications that two people have subscribed. I have responded to the comments made, (approved and replied) some I thanked for their input and others I answered questions, I have […]
I have a love/hate, no I don’t, I certainly don’t love and I don’t altogether hate social media. Social media boggles my mind. I find it too much to take in. I’m a self titled “phone-o-phobe,” so why would I like people expecting me to quickly reply to a text, and then feel guilty for […]
In the meantime I have been planning a surprise 60th birthday party for P in October. His birthday is the 2nd and I’m planning it for Saturday the 1st. I had previously sent his family a save the date email. I’ve been speaking to my son because he will be handling most of it since […]
I haven’t written anything in a week and I feel bad about it. I had two responses since my essay was published in the August/September issue of Brain & Life. Both were complimentary about the gardening. I answered both hoping to keep up a dialog, and feeling neglectful that maybe they had written back and […]
In early June of this year I wrote an article for Brain & Life, www.Brain&Life.org (I have mentioned this magazine previously). In the back of the magazine is an area titled, Speak Up, where people write about their experiences living with a neurological disorder. This is what I wrote the article for. I wanted to […]
