  • Easter

    Yesterday was Easter. We did nothing. I wanted Bryan and family to come down but they didn’t, (see “Family” post. We did portal in the morning. I decided to work at the garden. It’s always a fun place to be, although I don’t like the other volunteer I worked with. Pete bathed and groomed Ellie.…

  • Insurance and Ocrevus

    Today is Saturday, I had my Ocrevus infusion two days ago, Thursday. I previously posted about my insurance, Anthem, denying and then, after speaking with my neurologist, approving it. Well yesterday I received three letters from Anthem. Two were dated 4/10/2025 and said the exact same thing, denial for the infusion. The third letter was…

  • Ocrevus Infusion

    After a call on Monday saying my new insurance had denied approval, I had to deal with several annoying phone calls. Dr. Oh contacted insurance and straightened it out, phew. I was so tired and I could have fallen asleep except the IV kept going off. I wanted to go shopping at Short Pump Town…

  • Family

    All week I cannot sleep because my mind is so full. I have so many emotions. I’m mad, I’m hurt, (they always seem to go together). Every year I want my son Bryan and his family to come for Easter. It seems that I need to beg and then he will come, not on Easter…

  • Latest Savings

    As mentioned, this is my 1st post on items I buy at ridiculously low prices. This time it is at Kohl’s. Kohl’s: I used to save a fortune shopping here. When they have their % off sale, I would only shop if I got 30% off. Kohl’s changed their policy about a year and a…

  • Monthly Weigh In – April 2025

    Pretty much the same, 145.2. I am eating healthier and I’m still riding my stationary bike for 2 miles. I don’t ride on days I go to the garden becausse I’m gone in the morning. That’s a habit problem I have to work on, (that I can only ride in the morning). A choice between…

  • Money and Me

    Money and Me

    I have had this blog for 3 or 4 years and I can’t believe that I never wrote about my relationship, (is that the right word), with money and finances. To start, I am very good with money and budgeting. I get that from my mother, that and yelling. Growing up we were not aware…

  • Seeing Red

    Still in NC. Yesterday started out ok, but then I saw Pete using a flashlight. He was in the cabinet under the stovetop turning the gas on, (he turns it on and off as we use it). Anyway, now he’s looking at the bottom of the cabinet and sees some red, looks at my walker…

  • Feeling Sad

    We arrived in NC tonight for a long weekend. I was excited because some of the decorating in one of the guest rooms was going to be done. After emptying the coolers, feeding Ellie, putting groceries away and unpacking I was exhausted. As usual Pete drove the whole way, unpacked the truck, flooring, beds, coolers,…

  • Hydrogen Water

    So Pete watched a podcast on Hydrogen water , (I don’t know which one), I likened it to an infomercial. Anyway he received ECHO FLASK HYDROGEN WATER BOTTLE. http://www.echowater.com The cost, $299.99! We both started drinking 3 days ago. They suggest three 12 ounce glasses a day, before or right after meals. Luckily this isn’t…
