I am still running on empty this week. It is very strange, I walked the furthest I walked on Monday. Wednesday and Thursday I’ve had difficulty standing up and transferring. When I say difficulty, I mean it’s been harder than it’s had been over the previous weeks. It is requiring more energy to get myself up into the standing position. It is more laborious moving my feet. Good MS days and bad days. I have had some pretty intense workouts…
I am not sure but I might be having hot flashes. I honestly can’t tell because I get the same issue with my MS. How are you supposed to tell the difference?

Second it’s this light brown/tan color that is just plain ugly. Third the vest has something like…

I also am a big fan of frozen grapes in the summer. Just put the grapes in the freezer and enjoy. The middle becomes like an ice or slushy. This recipe below is simple, quick and refreshing. I got this recipe from Forks Over Knives. Watermelon Basil Ice Ingredients 6 cups fresh…
Got a wake up call the other day. We went from a comfortable 60° in New York up to 82° overnight. Silly me, didn’t think anything of it and opened all the windows. I have roughly 7 windows in my apartment that I opened, well I should say my daughter before she left. Normally there’s a nice cross breeze in my apartment, but that takes wind.
