What’s Blooming – June
The temperature today is 91 and very humid. Luckily we’ve been having showers so I don’t have to water the plants on the deck. Here are the newest blooms, all perennials:
Using Companion Plants
I previously posted that our vegetable garden is in. What I neglected to note is that for he past two years I have been planting companion plants with the vegetables. Basil – I have planted Basil in the vegetable garden because it repels mites, aphids, and mosquitos. Basil also has anti fungal properties which repel […]
Monthly Weigh In
Today’s weight is 139.8. When I received my Ocrevus infusion last week, my weight was 143.4, fully clothed with sneakers on. Anyway, I am now consciously dieting using the app, “My Fitness Pal,” which is a free calorie counting app. The free version lets you scan barcodes, insert your own recipes and totals calories for […]
Cutting down Parsley
The vegetables got planted, I finished weeding the herb garden, cutting back the Chives and Parsley, and planting the Cilantro and Dill. This morning I went out and planted the Marigolds around the vegetable garden and also planted Basil in the vegetable garden. The Parsley had grown around 3 feet tall and was blooming. I […]
Specialty Drugs and Insurance
Last Thursday I received my 6 month dose of Ocrevus. I have been getting this infusion for 7,8,9 years? Is it working? I don’t know. My MRI’s show no active lesions for the past few years. It is my decision whether I want to continue taking this drug and for now I will continue. The […]
Memorial Day Weekend, Hot, Hot, Hot!
I have come to the conclusion that I can’t do all the work needed in all the beds I have. I was ahead and now I’m behind. All of the beds were weeded and upon returning to VA, they need to be weeded again. The weather has not been cooperative. Any free time, like yesterday, […]
“In My Own Little Corner…….
” In my own little corner, in my own little chair, I can be whoever I want to be” This line is from a song in the movie, “Cinderella”, released sometime in the 60’s, the one starring Leslie Ann Warren. This verse has stayed in my mind all these years. I’m guessing it’s the escape […]
Guns, Mass Shootings, and more Guns
5/24/2022 – Uvalde, Texas – Robb Elementary School, 19 students and two teachers gunned down, plus the grandmother of 18 year old gunman. The gunman was shot dead by a border control agent. Reporters are asking how people feel. Sad, yes, frustration yes, angry yes. Besides feeling deep sadness for the victims, their families, and […]
Traveling with MS
Now to the difficulties I encountered everywhere we were. Staying with his mom I had to do a full set of stairs twice a day and occasionally another set of stairs into the basement. In the shower I needed help in and out. No difficulties in the restaurant, except walking through the bar with my […]
Granddaughters 2nd Birthday
We arrived on her birthday for a small party, just family. My ex-husband was supposed to be there but his flight had been delayed, (thank God). It was very enjoyable, she loved her Fudgie the Whale cake from Carvel. So did I and everyone else! Of all the Carvel cakes I’ve had over the years, […]
