Monthly Weigh In – September
This morning…. 136.8 lbs. To be expected since I have been to Bruster’s, http://Bruster’s three times in the past few weeks, two waffle cones and one banana split, (even though I substituted that for dinner). Have also eaten out and made BBQ ribs in the crockpot, with corn on the cob. P. has been home…

Gotta Pee
I have to pee, real bad, all of a sudden. As I push my walker towards the bathroom, I’m saying “please God let me make it, Please?” I sit down, say, “thank you” and nothing! This happens every day, its called hesitation. I am taking Trospium Chloride ER caps, 60 mg. once daily in the…

Confusion
Since my essay was published in Brain & Life, I have received several responses. I’m thrilled that all of them have been positive. I also have notifications that two people have subscribed. I have responded to the comments made, (approved and replied) some I thanked for their input and others I answered questions, I have…

Social Media and Me
I have a love/hate, no I don’t, I certainly don’t love and I don’t altogether hate social media. Social media boggles my mind. I find it too much to take in. I’m a self titled “phone-o-phobe,” so why would I like people expecting me to quickly reply to a text, and then feel guilty for…

Since Essay was Printed….

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 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…

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.

Friends
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…

Procrastinating………..Again
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…
