I’m happy to report that my vertigo has passed. I did speak to my neurologist who said that migraines can cause vertigo. I have had migraines for well over 15 years and never had that experience but whatever. My aunt also suffers from migraines. She had a spell of vertigo last year for the first time in her life. Her neurologist told her the same thing. I really didn’t think it was a new multiple sclerosis symptom. I really haven’t…
Today is my younger sisters 45th birthday. My beautiful sister has always amazed me and I wanted to take a moment to dedicate a post all to her. She is my half sister. Growing up, I’d see her every Sunday. Thank god for her because our older sisters were either not around or ignoring us. I spent the entire day with her and don’t really remember seeing my dad without seeing her. I remember we’d go downstairs in the basement,…
I am still dealing with all the little things, but I’m not as down as I was writing Monday’s blog. I can report that there is still areas I’m making improvements. Tuesday I was actually able to get up from sitting on the toilet seat. It was a “dry run” exercise with my occupational therapist. I was actually able to get up twice. I didn’t even use that seat that goes over the bowl to raise you up. I was…
Happy Birthday to my step dad today. A very special birthday, he turns 70. I’m happy to say I am seeing him for dinner. I have bought a few surprises to make the evening have a party like vibe. We are having dinner at my house so I like it to be a little special. He deserves it to be special. My stepdad has been in my life since I was like 4. I can’t say I have always given…
It is official, my daughter moved out yesterday. Unfortunately, she didn’t move locally so she won’t be popping over anytime. Her trips home will have to be planned with a plane, train or car. Everyone asked me all week if I was ok, and I really was. This morning saying goodbye tears flowed because of pride. I am just so proud of her. She has had to work very hard to get to this point. Life certainly hasn’t been easy…
Yesterday started the November/December celebrations Although now that my sister is in the process of adopting twin girls, we may need to push this start date to October 27th for their birthday. I always felt slightly bad for my older sister in these two months because she really gets slammed. I at least have some reprieve in the middle. I say this because this is what happens starting November 5th. Beginning of November is my stepdad’s birthday Middle of November…
It is a pretty looking day here but I always think that when the sun shines on the water. It isn’t even shining but the sky is adding this pretty yellow hue to the still water. Hard to do it justice from my chair. I’m excited to share happy news that my beautiful cousin got engaged. This was such exciting news. I honestly have been waiting for this news from her and her fiancé for a little bit knowing he…
I went out yesterday for the first time this week. I went to mahjong. I almost canceled and I’m so glad I didn’t because as always it was so fun. I did have a tough day and at times I thought I was going to completely collapse over the table. I just couldn’t hold myself up but then the strangest thing happened. About 30 minutes before the game ended I felt better. Like I could sit up straight without falling…
Sometimes some of the closest people to you might not be related to you. Many people have friends in this position or people they met when they were very young but never lost contact with. I’m fortunate to have that with a few people myself. I have that with my ex boyfriend’s family and with my aid. My extended family from my ex is so good to me and I truly love each of them. I was always close with…
So far nothing else is happening on plenty of fish. I must say that I was completely turned off by my first encounter First POF date that I certainly haven’t put much effort into the site. I’ve exchanged some emails with a few men but nothing to write about in a blog post. One guy keeps texting me because I made the error of giving him my cell however after he wrote this message Open your loving heart to me…
