Gardening, music, life with MS
I’m not procrastinating, I’ve been out in the garden. The weather’s been in the 60’s, so I’m continuing cleaning up the beds. I wake up in so much pain, my hips are aching. Sometimes when I get up the pain shoots down my leg and I can’t stand up. I try to relax till it […]
The other night Ringo and Friends at the Ryman Auditorium was on TV. Ringo just put out a country album. This is no surprise if you had read about his background. He always loved country music. It was a fun show with lots of musicians. Some I knew and some I didn’t. Everyone knows I […]
I’m calling this Issue #3, because of all my issues this came to mind, you’ll see why. I have lots of bins stored with decorative picks, bows, wreaths, berries, pine boughs, etc. I took them out in late October thinking I would make all these wreaths in time to sell at a Christmas fair. Well […]
I’m late entering this month because we were in NC and I don’t have a scale there. Anyway, 145.4. The difference being that in February I made the decision to get serious about losing weight. Issue #2, Weight. Trying to be serious, I am no longer snacking at night. I am scanning all the foods […]
I have a lot of issues, including but not limited to: Family, my relationship, Multiple Sclerosis, AHAD, Blog, losing weight, chronic pain, etc. The last few days I’ve been thinking about all of them. I know through experience that unless you deal with your issues, figure out a way to solve them or a way […]
I didn’t want to watch but I did. I never liked this speech no matter who is president. I hate the incessant applause after every statement. This one I dreaded even more. This man is a serial liar. He loves to boast that every single thing he does is unprecedented, the biggest, best ever in […]
The new round of pain came two days ago. On Friday we left VA to drive the four hours to Wilmington, NC. The last hour my neck started throbbing. As the night progressed it got worse. By the time I went to bed I couldn’t turn my head. I could only sleep on my back, […]
The past three days the temperature has been in the 60’s. I took advantage of the beautiful sunshine to start cleaning up the beds. I weeded, raked, cut back the Beauty Bush and Butterfly Bush. I finished one bed, now there’s only 18 beds left to go. I also played ball with Miss Ellie. I […]
Two weeks ago we were clearing out the Christmas stock at the garden shop. There were only three Amaryllis bulbs left in a very large display. I brought them into the office and asked Vicki what she wanted to do with them. She wanted one and said I could have one for half price. I […]
My brother Michael is addicted to pills and alcohol. This is heartbreaking to me and our relatives and his friends. At this point he is lucky to have any of us around. For the past six months he has been heading downward and now he is close to homelessness. I am not in NY and […]
