A day in the life with multiple sclerosis.
Red park and the Four Agreements

Red park and the Four Agreements

It’s 62° in New York today and tomorrow we are getting 3 to 5 inches of snow. By the weekend will be seeing 26°, a possible snowstorm on Tuesday and Wednesday as well as cold temperatures with a high of   40° . But in the 62° weather I’m driving around with my sunroof open my windows lowered and my music blasting. People looking at me as if they’re expecting some 18-year-old kid in the car and they are shocked…

Butternut Squash Mac n Cheese Sauce and black cherry sauce

Butternut Squash Mac n Cheese Sauce and black cherry sauce

I know another recipe, but you have to understand… I don’t cook!!!! This is a really big deal for me.  I’ve become a cooking queen. Ok maybe not a queen but a really eager learner. I’m enjoying trying these new things being vegan.  I’m sure vegans out there have made recipes like this thousands of times. I haven’t really cooked in about 10 years. My not cooking had really nothing to do with my multiple sclerosis. Back then it wasn’t…

Just another manic Monday

Just another manic Monday

You think I ran a marathon this morning. It’s 8 o’clock, I’m exhausted. This day is not going well at all so far. It started off with in a ms issue, that I just rather not discuss. However from past blogs, I’m sure you can do your own guessing.  What’s worse is im pretty sure I brought this problem on myself. I ate leftover curry soup I made. I thought the taste might be off, could veggies go bad in…

Forks over knives vegan Sheppard’s Pot Pie

I wouldn’t post a recipe I haven’t either tried or was about to try. I made this recipe this afternoon with the help of my daughter. It was a little difficult for hands to whip and mash with multiple sclerosis, so I enlisted a sous chef. I must say, as I was preparing this dish, i really didn’t have high hopes. I thought it was going to taste bland. I am happy to say, I was wrong. It was really…

Life with one puppy, one senior dog and one high school senior

Life with one puppy, one senior dog and one high school senior

Zoey, the puppy, is now 6 months old. She is accident free about 95% of the time, chewing on things she shouldn’t about 95% of the time and adorable 100% of the time. I forgot how challenging it can be with a puppy because my youngest dog before her is now 8.  I don’t know if this is all puppies or just her but she is obsessed with my coffee. I will have to throw my couch soon because she’s…

Vegan thousand island dressing in my aerogarden salad

Vegan thousand island dressing in my aerogarden salad

I had a dream last night I ate a chicken sandwich. Of all the animal products I stopped eating, chicken is the least missed. I hate chicken. I’ve lived my whole life on a diet and chicken or fish were always the lowest calorie protein. Chicken was the least expensive. I’ve had enough of chicken. I even worked in chicken restaurants, Boston Market, and Ranch 1. I hate chicken. If I was going to eat something, let it be a…

Getting an aid getting help…accept, adjust, adapt

Getting an aid getting help…accept, adjust, adapt

For all the bad moments, there are always good moments. I would love to say that I’m feeling a lot better, that whatever is brewing with my MS is gone, but I unfortunately can’t.  However as always, I’m back to my normal, my usual somewhat positive self. I think that might have to do with the fact that my little sister is in from California and I’m seeing her today.  The sun is out, although that wind is howling, but…
