  • Mother’s Day 2022

    This is the second year that I have not received a card from my son. I am very hurt by this. He and his family are in Disneyworld right now. I didn’t receive a phone call until 9 pm. By that time my hurt had turned into anger, (as it frequently does). He apologized and…

  • Monthly Weigh In

    Here we go, tada……140.2. Again I am not consciously dieting. With P being away I don’t eat as much, which proves to me a few things: 1) that I stress eat; 2) He always brings home treats, candy, pizza, etc.; 3) I feel pressure to cook when he’s home. The main problem is me! I…

  • To Be Fair

    I feel I need to write this post because I have stated over and over again the horribleness of my marriage. P was in Brussels for a week, last week. I had a good week without him, I always do. When he came home, he was actually pretty nice. He took me food shopping, and…

  • Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

    Please don’t lie to me anymore! This past weekend, I went to CVS to get a new passport picture taken so I can renew my passport. The young lady was very nice and took three pictures. When I didn’t like any of them, she gladly took three more. Needless to say, I didn’t like any.…

  • RAGE

    This is one of the emotions I was talking about in the “Catching Up” post. After everyone went back to NY, I was working in the front garden and P came home and told me that I needed to drive him to Ford, because the air conditioner wasn’t working again. I felt the rage building…

  • Catching Up

    It seems like I haven’t made an entry in a long time, with so much going through my mind, driving me nuts, I’ll try to remember where I was with all of these feelings. I left off with my son coming down for Easter, with his girlfriend and my beautiful granddaughter! What a wonderful visit!…

  • I’m so Excited…..

    All I can really think about is my granddaughter coming tomorrow for 5 days. I’ve been buying things; a Mickey Mouse bouncing ball, regular size, an big plastic egg filled with small toys and crayons and stickers. bracelets, (she knows me as always wearing bracelets, and wanting to wear mine so I bought her some…

  • Easter Surprise

    I am so happy! My son, his girlfriend and my little granddaughter are coming down for a long weekend, Friday till Tuesday. I’m making Mussels and Shrimp Fra Diavolo with an antepasto style naan with pesto from my garden, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives and fresh mozzarella with a traditional salad with added grapes…

  • Osteoporosis Diagnosis and Endocrinologist

    Having MS contributes to Osteoporosis, most of us will develop this because of the different drugs prescribed to help with MS symptoms, such as steroids. This really started seriously when I wanted to jump out of a plane when I turned 60 and my primary physician sent me for a new bone scan. It came…

  • Monthly Weigh In

    April, today I weighed in at 139.6, same as February. I don’t know how accurate my scale is. At the doctors office on Thursday I weighed 142, not a digital scale like mine, typical doctors scale. Let’s just say I’m abut the same. Not great news for someone who is disgusted with their body. I’m…
