Blogging everyday

Blogging everyday

I don’t know why I blog every day. I don’t know where I put it in my head that each day I was going to put in an entry. I think at some point it became so cathartic for me that I wanted to blog every day because I was working through so much shit. Now I find that sometimes I really don’t have much to add. I sometimes wonder if I’m putting almost pressure on myself to submit a…

Patting myself on the back

Patting myself on the back

Go me!!!! My aid couldn’t come today, so I couldn’t go to the pool. I guess I could’ve asked my daughter to come with me, she would have, but I didn’t want to bother her. Instead I got my Beachbody programs on my TV and I did my workout. I haven’t done my Beachbody workouts probably since July, thanks to the shoulder tendinitis. I always refused to let MS tell me what I couldn’t do and amazingly it was my…

OnGuard and Oregano Oils

The first thing I need to explain about the DoTerra oils, is they are therapeutic grade. The only essential oils you can just ingest are therapeutic grade.

Weigh-in day

Weigh-in day

Happy Saturday. So I had to change my subscription at weight watchers to online only. It made no sense, at this point, for me to keep going just to weigh in. My scale at home always match their scale to the point and I never stay for the meeting anyway. Since my three month subscription was up and I don’t want to quit, I figured it was a good switch and wasn’t as expensive. Since I started weight watchers on…

4 Core Stability Exercises for MS

4 Core Stability Exercises for MS

Happy Friday. I had my physical therapy evaluation yesterday. This year it’s all about the core. Or I should say the lack of core. I have four exercises I need to do every day. Very simple exercises, for normal people. However, I’m not normal people. These four exercises are very difficult for me. I was exhausted after doing them. I’ve explained this so many times in this blog, fatigue is not just tired. It’s exhaustion where are your muscles are…

It’s all in a name

It’s all in a name

My sister was at least 30 years old when my grandfather realized that her name had each initial of her grandparents. It was crazy her name is four letters and each letter represented her grandparents Arthur, Bernie, Rachel and Irene. My daughter, whose name was picked before I even met my husband, her initials are MS. Not only did I have her name picked out before I even met my husband, but my husband and I had a name change…

Reviewing DoTerra vitality pack

Reviewing DoTerra vitality pack

Good morning and happy Wednesday, middle of the week, hump day. I didn’t have my view yesterday. It was so much fog out here I couldn’t even see the water. Today I can see the water so I am automatically happy. Sitting down with both of my dogs on my lap and feeling good. I started taking the DoTerra vitality vitamins and supplements over a week ago. My review so far is it’s a lot of pills. However, for me,…

I’m not drunk I have MS

I’m not drunk I have MS

I have this shirt that says, I’m not drunk I have MS. The shirt always makes me laugh because you really do come across sometimes like you’re completely drunk. I remember when I used to work the reason I disclosed that I had MS was for that very reason. I didn’t want to have to be drug tested at work every day. I just do the goofiest, silliest things that must look humorous to an on looker. I’ve had the…

You know when you can wake up and know it’s gonna be a bad day? I’ve been on the floor four times already today and it wasn’t from falling.
