If you follow my blog, you may have picked up by now that I’m scale obsessed. For anyone who just happened to stumble upon my blog, I’m scale obsessed. I keep a close enough eye on things to know I haven’t gained any significant weight. I bounce around a five pound mark but that’s about it. I’m not thin, by any means, but I’ve maintained my current weight and size for years. I’ve held my hourglass figure my whole life,…
Zoey is officially mine. So today it’d all about Zoey… Zoey still loves my coffee, actually anyone’s coffee, she just loves coffee period Zoey eats everything in her path, tables, styluses, rocks, paper, scissors… Zoey has super powers and can fly Zoey thinks that by scratching the food bowl, more food will appear, or she’s going swimming without water or fitting first word Zoey learned was cookie, and where those cookies were kept. Zoey wasn’t liked by my beloved Boomer…
At 5:58pm, my daughter calls me from her car. She tells me she’s annoyed with her boyfriend. This is an ongoing conversation over the last 2+ years of their relationship. She said she wanted to drive for a bit before she had to be at work at 7. The conversation lasted all of 3 minutes. At 6:03 I received another phone call from her hysterically crying, she was in a car accident. It was the call I’ve been terrified of…
My guilty pleasure…, I watch all the real housewives. I know a very odd admission but I watch each installment of the franchise. It’s my guilty pleasure. Look I have multiple sclerosis, I need a fun sort of pointless fun. It’s entertainment watching all these extremely wealthy women argue over the stupidest shit. I may have a girl crush on Erika Giraradi aka Erika Jayne, i definitely have a crush on Lisa Vanderpump. I started watching Dancing with the Stars,…
I made this recipe last night. Ate 2 bowls for dinner. I cooked it a little longer because I like it when then pasta gets crunchy on top. I used a full bag of brown rice pasta spirals instead of measuring out 1-1/2 cups and it was dry. I’d recommend using MORE milk and cashews for the sauce. I ended up adding a little Daiya, vegan cheese, on the top. It isn’t plant based that way but it wasnt much. Also…
I battled with my weight my entire life. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. My neurologist’s letter to my primary care physician said, Jamie is a heavy set patient in her mid twenties, blah blah blah. I remember the physical therapy place I first went to had this computer bike. One time something wasn’t working right and the therapist said to another therapist that it happens only when a heavier person goes on. When I was in 6th…
We’ve all said things or did things that we regret, we’re human. It’s very hard to forgive someone who hurt us and even harder to forgive ourselves. We replay the story over and over and over in our heads, punishing ourselves maybe hoping for a different outcome. Definitely trying to justify our actions and why we did whatever we did. I had a wicked fight with my daughter last week and she didn’t do anything really. We made a deal months…
I’ve been up since 4am, listening to old episodes of Cheers, while I laid in bed praying I’d fall back asleep. Even Zoey and Marshy were snoring away, but not me, I just laid there, hour after hour. I finally gave up at around 7:30 and made coffee. I start each day with a certain amount of steam in me that fizzles as the day goes on. How much steam I start with can vary everyday. I read on a…
I just finished my six month taking high dose biotin. I’m taking 300mg per day as was done in the MS clinical trial. You have to get this higher dosage from a specialty pharmacy. I get mine from Ace Pharmacy online. I was hoping to have a link on my side bar from Ace pharmacy, but I we haven’t linked up yet. This is the website. https://highdosebiotin.net/about-us/ You can call and speak to them, the people there are extremely knowledgable and…
