Gardening, music, life with MS
Last week I was invited to my friend Stevie’s home and we planned on making some beeswax covers. We only needed three ingredients and they were fairly easy to make. The ingredients were: beeswax chips, pine resin and jojoba oil. We started with all cotton fabric, cutting different sizes with pinking shears, so not to […]
Yesterday I went to see the new documentary, “Becoming Led Zeppelin.” I’ve been hearing about this for over a year and it’s finally out, showing in IMAX. This is the only account of their history that all three remaining members cooperated on and approved of. Surprise, surprise, I loved it! The movie was done very […]
First, a word of advice when you’re planning on getting a dog. Unlike me, who immediately falls in love with probably every dog I see. If you’re getting a purebred, read about the breed. Do research on personality traits, common illnesses to the breed, compatibility with other pets and children. I speak from experience. More […]
On this date 61 years ago The Beatles landed in New York City on Pan Am Flight #101. I was 6 years old. On February 11, 1964, they made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. I still clearly remember that performance and my life changed forever.
This month I have finally decided to commit to a diet. My weight is 145.8. For now I am adding up calories in my head, not using My Fitness Pal app. It’s very easy to diet when Pete is away, I’m hoping when he gets home Saturday that he will seriously start dieting too, (he […]
Last Thursday I went to get a shot of steroids in my neck. Unbeknownst to me this was actually a procedure, with preparation; no taking of pain killers for 48 hours before. I had to fill out an online questionaire from the doctors office. I also had to be driven to and from the procedure. […]
It is 3 o’clock on Sunday and I just finished playing Mahjong on my laptop for the past three hours. WHY? Pete left for Savanna yesterday so I have the week to myself. I could have finished at least one of three projects that I’ve started. I could have made phone calls to my daughter, […]
I have always had indoor plants. When I was 18 and had my first apartment was when I started. At that time hanging plants with macrame hangers were “the thing.” Right now I have about eleven, four Peace Lilies, a Gerber Daisy, Pothos, and some Cactus. A couple of years ago I started naming them. […]
I’m livid. Pete’s new medical insurance is Anthem. Their specialty pharmacy is BioPlus. On December 23 I received a letter, (see below). It said the transfer of my medications would be seamless, even including one of my medications, Dalfampridine ER 10 mg (generic Ampyra). The letter stated that in the next few weeks someone would […]
Yesterday I went to the Orthopedic doctor, Brad Stovall, to find out the results of the MRI on my neck. The wait in the dreaded “room” wasn’t as bad this time. A funny side note is that there was a picture, that which looked to me like a centipede. Duh, realizing a few minutes later […]
