Gardening, music, life with MS
long after the thrill of living is gone”….. (John Mellencamp) These lyrics have been reverberating over and over in my brain. “Happiness”, (subject of my last post), is alluding me right now. I want to be excited and embrace the Christmas spirit but I’m allowing Peter to take it from me. There is no joy […]
I’m in a quandary. I am 66 years old and I still receive SS/Disability, that comes with Medicare Parts A and B. My primary insurance is with Pete’s job and Medicare has always been secondary. When I turned 65 I called Social Security and was told that I don’t file until I’m 67. For months […]
“Happiness is a Warm Gun,” by John Lennon * Pharrell Williams asks us, “What does Happiness Mean to you” I bring this up because I saw an interview with Goldie Hawn, who is well known for exuding happiness, positivity and joy.

In October we drove to the house in N. Carolina for a week. This was a work trip. We hung the new curtains on the sliding glass doors. I’m not thrilled with the color, I thought they were a light tan, (which was the description), and they ended up being more of a gold. The […]
I was happy to record 144.2 lbs. for this month. That was until I had my 6 month check in with my neurologist two days ago. Their scale said 149! I was fully clothed with sneakers but at the most that would have added maybe 3 lbs. So I’m not that happy, but its expected […]
He won the popular vote and he won the electoral vote. The people of the United States have spoken. I can’t believe that this is what the majority of citizens want, but it is. Let the chaos begin. I am in a stupor. This goes right back to my original thought when Kamala Harris was […]
