  • Pet Peeves

    Today I’m going to talk about things that are not a real big deal but in the scheme of things, they bother me: My Bad – I have to ask, “what the hell is that?” I understand what this expression means, can’t you just say “sorry, or I was wrong.” I guess it covers everything…

  • Day After Day – Diet Update, and a Recipe too

    Today is Tuesday. My cousin C, #2, came Friday night with her husband and daughter, A. They also brought their dog, Franklin, and A’s dog, Rosy, (more on that later). We were originally going to get pizza, but our favorite place was away on vacation. I had small potatoes to use up and a ton…

  • They Say it’s your Birthday – Dieting with MS cont.

    Yup, it’s my birthday, 63 years old. I made an appointment on August 6 to see if I would be a good candidate for using lasers on my face. It’s called laser resurfacing. If it will make a difference, I’m going for it. My skin is so damaged from years and years of sunbathing and…

  • Sleepless in Glen Allen

    The other day I said I was going to see if I slept better with no TV in the bedroom. I did one night and therefore I was hoping it would continue. Alas, it did not. The one night was it. That night I was awake most of the night and when I came home…

    My husband has been gone for 2 weeks, tomorrow he is coming home. Since the very first day he’s been away, things have broken and stopped working for no apparent reason. The first thing that happened was the pond had drained. The pump was still working, whatever little water was in there was going through.…

  • In a Fog

    I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I had a list, and I’ve accomplished things on it, but I’m in a daze. My head is not clear, I’m all fuzzy. I went to write a check and my hands weren’t cooperating. Its not the first time. My hands do act up and my arms,…

  • MS and Breast Implants

    I had saline breast implants in 1986, about 35 years ago. At that time I had had my 2 kids and was left with very saggy boobs. I went from a B cup to a C cup, nothing crazy. I was pretty happy except I lost feeling in my nipples, which really sucked, (no pun…

  • Gratitude

    Yesterday I had an appointment with my eye doctor located in Short Pump. I drive there frequently, that is where I got my MRI. It’s been 2 years since I’ve been to the eye doctor and I want to get new glasses. I was nervous about going: would I find the right entrance; I had…

  • The Dream is Gone

    The other day I was so happy, we started to finalize our plans for the home in NC. While we were on the phone we were told, yet again, that the price had gone up from our last dated quote in March of this year from 414,000 to 424,000. When we first went down to…
