Gardening, music, life with MS
I have always thought of myself as an introvert. I love (need) my time alone. I am a homebody. This is my safe place. My hobbies, reading, crafting, being outdoors in nature and gardening are how I achieve peace by myself. I don’t like distractions. When I was on the beach or in the woods […]
This is obvious, since I haven’t written a post in about 2 weeks. Nothing is happening right now. There is no gardening since the temperature is above 90 daily. We have not gone anywhere and except for volunteering 2 days a week, (which is saving me in more ways than one) I do the usual […]
I have two doctors, one is my neurologist and then my primary care doctor. They are becoming harder and harder to see. My neurologist, Dr. Oh, works out of VCU, (Virginia Commonwealth University). This is not an official MS Center, he happens to specialize in MS studies and patients. I have been seeing him for […]
I haven’t written here in almost 3 weeks. That is because I have been upset and losing sleep over something that is out of my control. It has to do with my son and his girlfriend buying a house together and selling his. I absolutely HATE the house they are buying! They are in a […]
I happened to weigh myself on the morning of my 65th birthday. 146.8, gaining 3 lbs in one month. All I can say is WOW! I’m finally ready to start calorie counting and riding my stationary bike again. I had seen these commercials for Sonobello, removing body fat by laser. The results were stunning and […]
July 8, 1958, that’s it, 65 years ago. There is no stopping it. the number just keeps getting bigger and bigger. My daughter sent me a picture taken five years ago for my 60th. My kids surprised me and I was very grateful. That year I had wanted to skydive but was not healthy enough […]
We were in Myrtle Beach Thursday thru Sunday. The first two days we argued constantly. It was always, “what do you want for breakfast, lunch, dinner?” The man is ruled by his stomach. If I didn’t feel like eating, we still had to go. I had never been in Myrtle Beach, I had previously driven […]
I love being at the ocean. I always have, until now. Back Story: Growing up my parents always took us on vacations, most of them involved beaches, whether it be lakes or most times the ocean. They loved the beach, especially my mother. We’ve been to Miami Beach, Bermuda, Long Island Beaches, Virginia Beach, and […]
Last August I received a call from Holiday Inn Vacation Club. I received that call because I’m a member of their IHG Rewards Program. I don’t know why I listened. We did this once in New Hampshire and were there for hours! Anyway I listened and the deal was: I could have a 4 day […]
Wouldn’t you know, since my post of June 5, “I’m Very Healthy I Just Have MS,” I haven’t been feeling good. Every few years a get a stiff neck, (what I call a “crick“). It stays for a week or so and the only way it goes away is by taking Valium. It started last […]
