I sneezed all day yesterday. I sneezed so much I asked people to stop saying “bless you”. I couldn’t take hearing it anymore. I think I used a half a box of family size tissues. I felt awful by the end of the night. I finally took my pure Oregano oil and On Guard oils from Doterra and went into bed. I slept and didn’t sneeze all night. I woke up this morning stuffy and a little drippy. I took…
One of my favorite things is sour pickles. Love them!!! I can eat a jar within two days time. Except these things are getting so expensive. It can change cost $5.59 for a jar of pickles.

Got my pickling spice. . I needed mason jars to store…
It’s getting hot outside. The summer is coming and my hibernation will begin. Most people can’t wait for the nice weather and the glorious heat of the summer, I’m not that person. I have multiple sclerosis and I am heat intolerant. Heat or high humidity can make many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a temporary worsening of their symptoms. Doctors believe that this occurs because heat causes nerves (whose myelin covering has been destroyed from MS) to conduct electrical signals even less efficiently….
I get a lot of packages because I order everything online. Yet, I’m pretty aware of what is coming and when. My security booth gets all packages for the building and sends out an email when a package is delivered. Usually the guard will give any packages to my aid when she comes in otherwise I grab them when I come back from being out. The other day I got an email I had a package which was for some…
I spent many years in denial. I would pretend it was all good until I had a relapse, well at least that’s how I appeared to the outside world. Those closest to me knew me better. They were witnesses to the tears from the shots or those horrible flu-like symptoms I suffered for the first 12 years of my illness. Those shots were a constant reminder to me that I was sick. I was terrified of needles yet I learned…
I was asked if I’d write a paragraph or two about contacting the MS Foundation for help with purchasing my handicap van. I jumped at the chance because they have helped me a few times over the years. They are another amazing resource to those of us with MS https://msfocus.org/. This is my rough draft I’ve was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis over 21 years ago. It has been a long road with many speed bumps along the way. I first…
I’m so happy my girl is home. Second year of college complete and first year away from home. Academically not the greatest year but Albany University is a hard school and she tries. Socially a great year and I see such a difference in this girl. I’m so proud of her. She is turning 20 in a few weeks and I’m amazed at where the time has gone. One day she was 6 getting a second cochlear implant and now…

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I wasn’t able to share Mother’s Day with my daughter but I was able to share the day with my mom and stepdad. The food was fair but the company was great. We were seated at this huge table for three people and we all moved our chairs to one side to be near each other, that love. It was the first time we took my van together. My stepdad drove, my mom…
It isn’t even that nice out but they are starting to come out. By June this whole area is filled with boats. I love it. I watch them all day. I have my windows open and there is a cool breeze coming in. I just finished doing my Zumba workout and all is just good. Right at that corner is a gas station for boats and they line up to fill up. It is neat. So peaceful and it beats…
