Gardening, music, life with MS
Still in NC. Yesterday started out ok, but then I saw Pete using a flashlight. He was in the cabinet under the stovetop turning the gas on, (he turns it on and off as we use it). Anyway, now he’s looking at the bottom of the cabinet and sees some red, looks at my walker […]
We arrived in NC tonight for a long weekend. I was excited because some of the decorating in one of the guest rooms was going to be done. After emptying the coolers, feeding Ellie, putting groceries away and unpacking I was exhausted. As usual Pete drove the whole way, unpacked the truck, flooring, beds, coolers, […]
So Pete watched a podcast on Hydrogen water , (I don’t know which one), I likened it to an infomercial. Anyway he received ECHO FLASK HYDROGEN WATER BOTTLE. http://www.echowater.com The cost, $299.99! We both started drinking 3 days ago. They suggest three 12 ounce glasses a day, before or right after meals. Luckily this isn’t […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
