This week went fast. I don’t say that often since my weeks blend together. I am happily writing this with the sun shining windows open. It is beautifully cool. Looking forward to the fall weather. I’m actually looking forward to my oversized sweatshirts. I am excited to put on those comfy oversized shirts and be bundled up with my puppies. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Although I missed winter this year being in and out of the…
I had my first big outing yesterday. I went with my stepdad to take Zoey to the vet. I wasn’t driving but I’ve been a passenger many times while he drives. I even went into the vet with Zoey. I saw people other than my family and close friends. That was a big deal. Thankfully Zoey is doing better. She will be on gabapentin for an extended period of time, possibly her life. I told her I have gabapentin on…
I must say i had an eventful Saturday night. Not exactly like my old days at Jugs and Strokers Drinking, trying to play pool and hanging with my friends until 4am. However, based on my life lately, this was eventful. The building’s fire alarm went off around 8pm. I was in my pjs ready for bed. Usually the fire alarm is a false alarm. This time you could smell something funny. You could see a haze of smoke at the…
I just finished my workout. I’m happy to report I did the whole thing from beginning to end without a long break in between already on day 4. I’m kicking ass. I have a pretty good system to get me off the floor using my wheelchair. I might be able to use my own strength but I know that if it doesn’t work, that mistake can be costly. I really don’t want to deplete all my energy getting up. I’ve…
I went around my building yesterday spreading Holiday Joy. Every year I buy Mrs Prindable apples to give as gifts for the holiday season. This year I decided to give them to my friends in my building and some other people that are around me. I had my gifts for the people that work in the condo, my apples, my mask and out I went to spread joy. I didn’t call ahead to say I’d be coming so I was…
Many, many years ago I went to London on my spring break vacation during college. I’m sorry for all those who did the Florida mayhem, my trip was so much better. I was 18 years old, my sister was probably 21. She was studying abroad and spent months seeing much of Europe during that year. For me, this was my first trip abroad and London was my only destination but to this day, it is still my favorite city and…
I have a few things going on in my thoughts this morning making my heart feel heavy. The thoughts are revolving around a few people in my life that I care deeply about. Unfortunately I can’t do much to help physically, only mentally and spiritually. This brings me back to my sister. My beautiful sister. Years ago I wrote a blog about her right before we attended Spirit Junkie Masterclass 1 together. In the post I talked about how I…
Thanksgiving is here again. It’s time for family traditions of certain dishes made once a year with an extremely large turkey that is never eaten and always consumed for at least three days after today. My family all contribute a dish. I always make my carrot soufflé which I’ve learned to make for every single diet I am following. https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/03/16/carrot-souffle-vegan-or-non-vegan/. My mom makes a corn soufflé and the stuffing. My sister makes the soup and sometimes brings a vegetable. We…
Yesterday I had my first game day with the other retired people in my condo. For some reason it ended up only being 5 of us. We played a card game called Mille Bornes. It was fun you try to travel a 1000 miles but people can give you stop cards or accidents and other things that stop your ability to move until you pick the correct card to get out of the incident. I did not win but I…
Busy, busy, busy. A fun but busy weekend indeed which is slightly unusual for me. Friday, I was able to babysit, more like keep company, with a little girl who is as sweet as they come and like a niece to me. We had a great day and did so much. We went in the pool, out for lunch, bathed both dogs and even made cookies. It was a jammed packed day and a lot of fun. My dogs were…
