Gardening, music, life with MS
This is my favorite time of year, that’s why I got married in October. I love the cooler temperatures, I’m able to work outside for hours and I am always in awe of the beautiful landscape as the seasons change. It is hard to describe the joy that I get seeing the beautiful colors of […]
Thursday evening Pete and I went and got our updated COVID booster. We both have always gotten the Moderna vaccine. I thought nothing of it, I previously had no side effects. I felt fine the rest of the evening. I woke up on Friday feeling sore, tired and achy, with flulike symptoms. I attributed this […]
As you can see from my previous posts, I’ve been going to my yearly checkups; physical, blood work, dentist, eye doctor. My latest was my yearly mammogram. In all, my visits to these various appointments I have been using my walker. With accessible parking and the entrances close enough, this hasn’t presented a problem until […]

Last night we watched the Part 1 or a two Part series titled, “The American Buffalo,” by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns. First I have to say that I will watch anything put out by Ken Burns.

Since my physical, 2 weeks ago, I have been trying to schedule my yearly mammogram. Easy, right? Let me tell you. I called right away, (Bon Secours), and after 15 minutes was connected. Person on phone took all of my information including medical coverage ID numbers and all. I was on hold while she looked […]
I am overwhelmed with new posts in my mind. This blog was going to be called, “A Full Mind,” for self explanatory reasons, but it was already taken, therefore “My Boomer Mind” was born. I want to dedicate myself more to writing, but I get overwhelmed easily and therefore don’t know where to begin or […]
Last week our country narrowly missed a shut down because of 9 rogue senators. The Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, worked with the Democrats and most Republicans to pass a resolution for 45 days.
