  • Jean Jackets

    Jean Jackets

    The reason I’m writing about them is because I brought two of them out today to add more pins. I have three Jean jackets. One is an old faded Levi’s jacket. Peter got me one from The Hard Rock in London. It is specifically a Beatles jacket. I had already started to collect pins from…

  • New Doctor

    This week I had an appointment with a new doctor, Dr. Moen. She specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This appointment was made when I was in the hospital in November. Since I have started physical therapy I didn’t understand why I had to see this doctor too. I was going to cancel but it…

  • Coming Home

    Today Pete is coming home. He’s been in Europe for 11 days. I am perfectly happy alone in the house. When he is one I accomplish things. I made a list, (I work better that way) and got everything on the list done and even some extras. I feel good. When Pete is home he…

  • “I Had A Dream

    “I Had A Dream

    A crazy dream.” That’s not unusual for me only this time I remembered. I don’t know where I was, some house or school. There were two men discussing making a movie about the 70’s. I needed to be in the movie. I had several opportunities to approach these men privately. I wanted to say, “I…

  • Trip to Publix

    Trip to Publix

    Yesterday I needed to pick up an Rx from Publix. Usually I go through the drive thru but I also needed food. Pete is now in Prague. Going anywhere by myself with MS takes planning I looked at the circular, B1G1, (they’re great for that), made a list and headed out. My plan was to…

  • Therapy

    I should mention that I tend to see things in black and white, I constantly have to be reminded that nothing is that simple. I was back at therapy with Katy. I told her about the trip and seeing Sister Marion, (1/4/26 post, “Back in VA”). About my hatred for the president and what she…

  • Another Bargain

    While in NY we went to Home Depot. Pete went wherever. I saw they had 75% off all Christmas stuff. Not much left but I found these. 59.98 marked down to 14.92! There were only two and I bought both of them.

  • Monthly Weigh In, January 2026 and Health Update

    Today I am 142 lbs., better than I thought. I will be starting my ChatGPT generated Mediterranian Diet. Lucky for me that I have a shopping list and recipies, no excuses. Now on to my health: I am happy that while away for Christmas I felt very good. Tired but that would be normal for…

  • Back in VA

    Back in VA

    We’re back around a week. A fun but exhausting trip. The trip up was good. Left at 4 am. No traffic, made it in 7 hours. Seeing Brylee was the best. Unfortunately she had the flu. I didn’t care, nothing was going to keep me away from her. It was just the sniffles. We got…

  • New York for Christmas

    New York for Christmas

    We’re leaving at three in the morning. I dread this ride. I’m hoping to get to Bryan’s by four. Saturday is Brylee’s recital. I’m very happy I’ll be able to see her. She is so unbelievably cute and can dance, she knows her routines. On Monday is “cousins night.” I love getting together with my…
