Unbelievable! I fully expected a weight gain, I haven’t logged my calories in over a month and have pigged out on cake, candy, nachos, etc. (see 10/24, Diet and Exercise post). Much to my surprise the scale read 135.6! How can that be? Is my scale broken? To check, I went and weighed myself on…

One of the reasons I haven’t entered any new posts is because I got very discouraged after my article, “Gardening with MS” was published in Brain and Life, August/September.

The 60th surprise party I’m having for P is this Saturday. More people than I intended are coming and I’m happy about that! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I don’t know if it will be a surprise, I didn’t mention it on the invitation. He is not giving me a hard time about anything,…
