My favorite website, newsletter and blog for Multiple Sclerosis, http://ActiveMSers, put out by Dave Bexfield has informed all followers that Dave has been having an exceptionally hard time. His latest battle has him down, but if your familiar with him, certainly not out. This man is such an inspiration to me. I started this blog…

Today is Thursday March 24 and it is now 12:40 in the afternoon. It is cloudy and rainy. I won’t be going out in the garden and I’m not volunteering today so what to do, hmmm. I took apart the coffee maker and cleaned, went to clean the air fryer/toaster oven and had no Brillo…

Fear of Missing Out – One of few few abbreviations I know. Most of the time it refers to people who can’t get off they’re phones for the obvious fear of missing something that is going on, I’ve heard it referred to teenage use but I’m sure adults are guilty too. Not me, as previously…

P. went to Brazil on a business trip early Sunday. I’m thrilled. I like when he goes away. He’ll be gone till Saturday so I have all week to be stress free. I planned my meals, (small and healthy), invited my son and granddaughter down, (they couldn’t do this week), and lined up shows I…

This month, March, I weighed in on the 6th, at 138.4 lbs. I’m entering late because we went away again. Honestly, I don’t believe it. Since the start of monthly weigh ins I’ve lost 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. I don’t feel it at all. I am not dieting but I have returned to riding…

My frustration with P came to a head this weekend. We were going out to do some errands. First of all I had to wait until he was ready, which ended up being very late in the afternoon, 4:30. No matter how many times I’ve stated that my high energy is in the morning. Next…

My energy is back! I’m so grateful. I volunteered yesterday and came home very tired. I didn’t do anything the rest of the day and felt guilty. Today I woke up thinking of all the things I needed to do and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I wanted to do a load of laundry, write in…
