  • Monthly Weigh In – January 2024

    January 7, 2024, 144.6 lbs. There you go. This was my exact weight in November and December was my surprise 141.6. Oh well, 3 lbs. lost, 3 lbs. gained, what else is new? It’s to be expected the way I ate ove the holidays!

  • Falling Down, Oops I Did it Again

    Still at the same Marriott Courtyard. Since I last posted, the long distance from parking to our room, we decided that I would sit on my walker and Pete would push me, I had quickly decided against using the wheelchair because it wouldn’t fit into the room. Anyway we’ve done this a lot when I’m…

  • I hate having MS or:

    Tonight we are in Wilmington, NC, tomorrow we’re finally getting our house. I’m excited for that. Everything in the house is accessible, yahoo!! BUT we arrived at the hotel, Marriott Bonvoy, Courtyard. Asked for room that wasn’t far for me to walk. She said room 101, next to the elevator. I said no because it’s…

  • Christmas Summary

    We’re back from NY. After taking a new route, West of Interstate 95, (our usual), nine hours later we got here around 6:30 last night. Since Bryan’s new home is a bit further West of where we usually are in Westchester County, we decided to take Interstate 84 to 81 and South on 15 to…

  • Dentist, 3rd Followup

    The other day I had my third followup after my tooth was pulled. He had done some gum grafting and was checking how well I healed so that I could get a tooth implant, which is what we had discussed. I brought up the point that everytime I had toothwork done, I proceeded to have…

    The Hollerdays

    This label for the “holidays” started over 20 years ago with my then live-in fiance, John. What it came down to was constant arguing every year at this time. He was fine with visiting my family and his, but when it came to parties he was not having any of it and gift giving, he…

  • Monthly Weigh In – December 2023

    Amazing….. Today is 141.6, that is 3 lbs. less than November. The only thing I am doing differently is not eating past 7 pm., (sometimes we eat at 7). I’ll continue doing this and see if this is really why I lost weight. It would be quite enlightening if by just not eating at night,…

  • Fraud Alert!

    Our house in N. Carolina is almost ready. I have been saving a few catalogs with items that I want for the new house. One of the items was a quilt set in the Soft Surroundings catalog dated one year ago. I found out recently that Soft Surroundings has filed bankrupcy and will start closing…

  • Still Trying

    I am still trying to download my pictures off of my iphone into my laptop. The same problem persists. I’ve talked to people who know about these things and have tried going into my settings and turning off the cloud under photos, which by the way, wasn’t on. We bought a new tv in Best…

  • Awe Inspiring Beauty

    The trees are so beautiful. Stunning, I am in awe over the different colors, red, yellow. orange, brown. It makes me euphoric! I had read something, five reasons to be awed in life. Coming in at #4 was nature. I couldn’t believe it. For me it is #1. I’m not going into the other top…
