  • Obsessing/Overthinking

    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…

  • Monthly Weigh In – July

    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…

  • Turning “65”

    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…

  • Myrtle Beach III – Summary

    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…

  • Myrtle Beach II – The Ocean

    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…

  • Myrtle Beach I – Holiday Inn Vacation Club

    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…

  • What a “Crick” in the Neck

    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…

  • Monthly Weigh In – June

    Today, 143.6. The last two months have been within a pound or so I’m taking it as I’m about the same. I want to lose weight badly, yet I don’t feel I’m there yet to start counting calories and weighing my food. I know that I am addicted to sugar and don’t know how to…

  • I’m Very Healthy, I Just Have MS

    This is my go to phrase when I’m asked how I’m feeling. It’s true. Throughout my life I am grateful that I’m able to say that I’ve always been extremely healthy. Not to say I’ve never been sick. I’ve had sinus infections, colds, upset stomach. I also have my few and far between “ice pick”…

  • Trip to NY, “It’s been a Long Time, now I’m Coming back home….”

    It has been a long time since writing. I’ve been in a mood. A lot has happened but I feel that these occurances are boring and repetitive. NY and back, Ocrevus infusion, same worries and problems; I bore myself. Anyhow…. This trip to NY was for my granddaughters 3rd birthday. I cannot even begin to…
