Gardening, music, life with MS
In the meantime I have been planning a surprise 60th birthday party for P in October. His birthday is the 2nd and I’m planning it for Saturday the 1st. I had previously sent his family a save the date email. I’ve been speaking to my son because he will be handling most of it since […]
I haven’t written anything in a week and I feel bad about it. I had two responses since my essay was published in the August/September issue of Brain & Life. Both were complimentary about the gardening. I answered both hoping to keep up a dialog, and feeling neglectful that maybe they had written back and […]
In early June of this year I wrote an article for Brain & Life, www.Brain&Life.org (I have mentioned this magazine previously). In the back of the magazine is an area titled, Speak Up, where people write about their experiences living with a neurological disorder. This is what I wrote the article for. I wanted to […]
135 lbs! Yes, finally some progress, (3 lbs). I have been sticking to my daily 1200 calories, plus I have been riding the exercise bike, 2 miles daily and lifting 2 lb weights for multiple reps throughout pedaling. I don’t ride on volunteer days, (Wed. & Fri) although I could in the afternoons. By adding […]
We moved down here about 12 years ago. I have had an extremely hard time making friends. Girlfriends are very important to me. Having a friend to do things with helps me physically and mentally. Having someone to commiserate with, laugh and have fun with, and share interests with is priceless to me. I am […]
Here I go again. I haven’t done anything that I need to do. I need to upload pictures from my phone and put into new albums and also resize. I’m intimidated and feel overwhelmed. I get very frustrated when working on the computer. I also need to sign up for another month of one on […]
For the past week my feet are like ice cubes. This is not the first time and it won’t be the last. The temperature outside is in the 90’s with a feels like in the 100’s. I am wearing sneakers with no socks, my usual during the summer. For the past couple of days I […]
Today is Saturday, I didn’t get the mail yesterday, so I just came back in from walking to the mailbox putting out mail and getting yesterdays. Phew! The temperature reads 98, feels like 107. I wanted to take the golf cart but I parked my vehicle too close to ge it out. I felt like […]
Yesterday the thermometer read 92 with a feels like temperature of 102. I was tired of being inside, (since Saturday) and since it was cloudy I decided I would go outside with 2 items on my agenda. One was to deadhead the Butterfly Bush and the other was to check the roses for Japanese beetles. […]
Now I’m heading into the machine with my Hannibal Lecter mask on. I was told it would be 30 minutes total, that with and without contrast. So because I have to count everything, to make sense, I start counting songs, I figured 6 or 7 songs would take about 30 minutes. My eyes are closed […]
