I was watching Sweet Home Alabama the other day. It is one of my favorite romantic comedies. It came to the part where he says “you’ve got to be shitting me” to which she replies “I’ve never understood that expression but no I’m not shitting you”. I never understood that expression either. It got me thinking about other expressions I don’t get. Get bent. My mother says this all the time. I know it means get real but how did…
I had another week where I gained weight on weight watchers for no reason. I was very upset and angry and so I cheated. A lovely cycle. Feeling even worse now I started on a dark path of negative thoughts. I started to google the various surgeries that are out there for overweight people. I even filled out one of the doctors forms for more information. I was turned down because my BMI is too low. I started searching medication…

I’ve been having such problems again going to the bathroom. This is an issue I’ve struggled with for years but continues to to get worse. Every time I think I found something that works it eventually stops working. My main problem is twofold. I can’t push and I can’t hold. Meaning I can’t get it out and if it’s coming out I can’t hold it in and I’m going to have an accident. Sorry to be so graphic but is…
So I was at my hairdresser yesterday, an appointment I never miss. I was alone with my van and wasn’t the least bit concerned. I knew I needed my walker not my scooter to go in so my aid and I had that in my car before I went. I was even prepared and got my other walker out of storage so I didn’t have to worry about bringing it back into my condo. I meet my mom at the…
I could have spent the day in bed. That’s the one thing two dogs and a nursing aid that comes early in the morning prevents. Not that my aid would mind or wouldn’t help me but my dogs would drive me crazy running between her and me. I can’t shake the exhaustion in the morning and the fatigue in the evening yet. I actually think this started from my rituxan infusion back in mid March, I believe I said I…
Yesterday I was looking at a past order on my amazon account. I stepped away for a second. When I came back my dog jumped on the chair and I see thank you for your order. She one clicked more pet pee pads for herself for my room. 😂. Glad I was looking at that and not a vacuum. My daughter pledged a community service fraternity and got in yesterday. I’m so proud of her. Going away to school has…
As the weather starts to get warmer I start to get more sluggish. It’s beautiful outside and I’m ready for a nap. Yesterday the temperature hit over 60 degrees for the first time, a gorgeous weather day but after physical therapy I was thrilled to be home. I was exhausted. Physical therapy was difficult. My therapist, knowing I hate this answer, said it’s weather changes as always the body has to adjust. Our symptoms get worse than hopefully level off…
The nice weather is starting on the water by my home. I heard a few motorcycles coming down the street this weekend always the first sign of the good weather. Now a few boats are spotted coming down the channel into the ocean. Soon the block next to mine will be hopping with music coming from all the bars opened down the entire nautical mile, as the road is called. Boats will be coming and going all through the day…
Do you smoke? I did for a long time and quit a few times. I was a funny smoker. I could smoke a pack a day and then go the next day not smoking one and be fine. Other than my first apartment I didn’t allow smoking in my house even though I was a smoker. I didn’t want all my stuff to stink. It’s tough to smoke outside in the dead of winter. I quit once on my grandmother’s…
