  • 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…

  • Therapy

    On Thursday, December 11, I had my third appointment with my new therapist. I was a wreck. I had been up all night full of anxiety about the upcoming holiday, my kids, still being sick, crying at everything. Feeling like I had no life, I wasn’t living the life that I wanted and there was…

  • Back to the Garden Shop

    Back to the Garden Shop

    On Wednesday, 12/10 I made the decision to go back to volunteering in the shop. I didn’t feel good but I had to get out of the house. It might not have been a physically healthy decision, BUT it was essential to my mental health. I knew I would be emotional. As soon as I…

  • Feeling Terrible

    It’s almost a month and I’m not better. It’s depressing. I’m very tired, I can sleep all day. I have been taking afternoon naps. I don’t want to spend afternoons sleeping. My legs are not back. I’m easily winded. I’m having pain in my right hip. I had a follow-up doctor’s appointment yesterday but she…

  • Monthly Weigh In Dec. 2025

    Monthly Weigh In Dec. 2025

    I had no expectations, didn’t care too much. Surprise, 104.4. Encouraging, but honestly I haven’t had much of an appetite. When asked at the doctor’s office I said I was 153. That describes me as overweight. Discouraging.
