  • Memorial Day

    5/25 It is Memorial Day. No barbecues here. My husband doesn’t like to cook, although we had to get the best gas grill there is, with a side burner that we never use. Anyway, mind feels good. Besides the crick in my knee and shooting pains in my tooth, I feel I can get something…

  • More Decisions

    5/24 I didn’t sleep well last night at all. Lots of crazy dreams.  This morning my mind is raring to go. Let’s see, I want to go outside, haven’t done any work in awhile.  The temperature is in the 60’s, so its perfect for me.  I’d like to pick some flowers to bring in and…

  • Cancelled

    5/21 All I have to say today is…..around 9 this morning I  started getting sharp pains on the same side of my mouth, where a week ago I had a root canal! Called dentist, said wait a little longer and prescribed more pain pills. I cant believe this.

Better than anything I’ve become a grandmother again yesterday, May 18; 6 lbs. 8 ounces, 19 inches long, beautiful baby girl!  She’s in…

  • Bad day

    5/15 After two weeks of excruciating pain, yesterday I had a root canal. I’ve never looked forward to a dental procedure as much as this. I’ve also been dealing with another physical problem. I have a pain in the middle of my chest. It feels like something is blocked. When I eat, it is worse.…

  • Decisions

    5/12 Decisions, decisions…..when you have MS, every day there are a lot to make. Usually it starts the night before. I watch the weather and make my decision accordingly. If it is a nice day, between 57 to 75 degrees, then I want to work outside in the garden. Of course that will depend on…
