Gardening, music, life with MS
We, meaning all Americans, are having a serious crisis. I feel like I am living in two different societies. One is the politically usual, meaning operating as we always have, under one (hopefully) unifying President and lawmakers, again hopefully working for our concerns. This means compromise by both parties to try and get things done. […]
135 lbs! Yes, finally some progress, (3 lbs). I have been sticking to my daily 1200 calories, plus I have been riding the exercise bike, 2 miles daily and lifting 2 lb weights for multiple reps throughout pedaling. I don’t ride on volunteer days, (Wed. & Fri) although I could in the afternoons. By adding […]
We moved down here about 12 years ago. I have had an extremely hard time making friends. Girlfriends are very important to me. Having a friend to do things with helps me physically and mentally. Having someone to commiserate with, laugh and have fun with, and share interests with is priceless to me. I am […]
Here I go again. I haven’t done anything that I need to do. I need to upload pictures from my phone and put into new albums and also resize. I’m intimidated and feel overwhelmed. I get very frustrated when working on the computer. I also need to sign up for another month of one on […]
We’re still in the dog days of summer. Too hot to do any gardening, but I am observing the summer perennials that continue to bloom and the new ones that are starting to bloom. I am also encouraged by the plants I have out on the deck. Last year I bought a Hibiscus on clearance […]
The other day I went online to try and get tickets to see Ringo and his Allstar Band. They are playing at the Richmond Raceway on September 20. I tried to buy from the venue itself but I kept getting hooked up with third party sellers. The best tickets I found were on the Seat […]
For the past week my feet are like ice cubes. This is not the first time and it won’t be the last. The temperature outside is in the 90’s with a feels like in the 100’s. I am wearing sneakers with no socks, my usual during the summer. For the past couple of days I […]
Today is Saturday, I didn’t get the mail yesterday, so I just came back in from walking to the mailbox putting out mail and getting yesterdays. Phew! The temperature reads 98, feels like 107. I wanted to take the golf cart but I parked my vehicle too close to ge it out. I felt like […]
I’m obsessed. While listening to the radio Sirus XM, Classic Rock, “The Dark Side of the Moon” came on. This is the version where a woman is doing the vocals, not singing, just using her voice going along with the music. I love it! Honestly I thought it had to be a black woman. I […]
Yesterday the thermometer read 92 with a feels like temperature of 102. I was tired of being inside, (since Saturday) and since it was cloudy I decided I would go outside with 2 items on my agenda. One was to deadhead the Butterfly Bush and the other was to check the roses for Japanese beetles. […]
