Yesterday was a long day but a needed day for my hair to get through the summer easily. I get a product called Magic Sleek which is a permanent treatment that doesn’t necessarily keep my hair stick straight but keeps the frizzy out. Plus it makes it super easy to dry and style. I got to my hairdresser at 10 yesterday morning and left at 4. A long day. The treatment pulls out my hair color and this year we…
If you follow my blog you know I follow a spiritual path. A path that started when I picked up a book from Gabby Bernstein. I’ve been so fortunate that not only have I read everything by Gabby, I’ve been able to be a part of her Spirit Junkie Masterclass both 1 and 2. I’ve got to meet Gabby in an intimate setting, this unbelievable woman who changed my life. When you’re on a journey of spiritual growth and transformation,…
Today is the easiest blog I can write because I get to wish my daughter a happy 20th birthday. Anytime I’m writing about my daughter it is easy because she is an amazing young woman. She is beautiful and sweet, funny and goofy, smart and ditzy, kind and caring, loyal and loving but most of all she is a great person. It is easy to be a proud mom because she has a huge heart. I didn’t teach her that,…
Overheated and under slept. Not a good combo to wake up with. I shut my AC off last night because I was cold. Of course it was ridiculously humid when I got out of bed. I had hours to turn it back on. I was up between the hours of 4-6AM and the time I feel back to sleep between 6-8 weren’t restful. Needless to say I woke up behind the MS eight ball already dragging my feet and having…
I was sitting here with my blog opened trying to decide what to write when both of my dogs jumped on my lap. This is where they usually are but sometimes my Marshmallow gazes out the window in the AM. I spent twenty minutes giving my fur babies puppy love and gazing myself out of my own window and lost any topic I wanted to write about. This is my favorite time of day. My body is tired and a…
I’ve been staying home a little more lately because I haven’t been feeling great and the weather. I’m sleeping a lot more and even when I get out of bed I’m forcing myself up more so then wanting to get up. It is a horrible feeling to be so tired after you’ve slept for 10 hours. If anything I’m forcing myself to get out of the house. I feel like all I’ve done is blog about my MS symptoms lately…
I’m always preaching about adapting and I had to make another adaptation for myself. I bought a commode to leave by me to avoid the “accidents”. Too many times I’m just steps sea and it happens. I’ve had the order for the commode since I was in the hospital last year with cellulitis. I kept saying I didn’t need it, my bathrooms were close enough. My caseworker asks me every month because it was recommended by the nurse at my…
A quick short note today. Had occupational therapy this morning kicked my ass. Such a difference from last week of what I was able to do. I can’t be too upset because I know this routine. Some days are better than others and today wasn’t a great day. It is getting hot outside and the OT room was warm. I was sweating and I was appropriately dressed and doing very little. Another one of my MS symptoms is my body…
I might feel a little more charged and ready to tackle another week of activities. I think I was just operating without enough data off that maybe my batteries weren’t getting recharged. I was able to get my workouts done each morning and then relax all afternoon. I just love watching the boats and jet skis on the water and this weekend was so busy with activity it was great. I was in my happy place. Unfortunately I had to…
I’ve been run down lately. The words “I’m tired” have once again been part of my everyday response to “how are you”. I’m not sure when I became so tired again but I know I’ve started canceling plans because of how I feel. A beautiful weekend and I’m inside with all my windows open and a great view. Sometimes you just need to rest. The only thing is it doesn’t really help. Fatigue is a strange thing because it isn’t…
