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…
2018 wasn’t a bad year for me. Yesterday marked the day I moved into my condo a year ago. Although it was technically 2017, it was really days of complete chaos until 2018. I wake up to this view to look at. Trust me it looks a lot better than my picture shows. I learned that I can still swim. I have spent a lot of time in my pool. I was fortunate to have an indoor pool in my…
It’s hard to believe where I was 2 and 1/2 years ago. I just stopped working becoming permanently disabled. My boyfriend broke off whatever it was that we were having for the last 4+ years. It was an extremely volatile, narcissistic, unhealthy, and just a horrible relationship. I couldn’t leave him but I was an empty shell of the person I once was. Most of my friends had stopped talking to me because of him and I was alone. I…
I had this post written title one other time. I wrote it about being convinced I heard Boomer, my English Bulldog, after he passed away. I realize now that the things that go bump in the night is usually me. The biggest obstacle I’ve had, since I moved in the condo, is I sleep on the other side of the bed then I use to for the last 25 years. I always slept on the left side which, for all…
I went in the pool. Finally!!! I was the only one in there. I can’t swim anymore. My legs can’t kick. My legs actually can’t even get high enough in the water and I usually end up going under. The truth is I probably could do more but I was trying not to get my hair wet. Let’s be real, with multiple sclerosis there’s only so much energy I have. To go in the pool for the first time in…
It’s usually my morning meditation that I decide what I want to blog about. This morning I fell back asleep during my meditation and I never got an idea of what I wanted to say. Right now I’m just staring at the water, hoping something will come to me. When your blog every day, I have to admit, some of my blogs become pointless. I have a feeling this is going to be one of them. I can tell you…
I’ve waited for days like this. To sit, look out the window, watch the water, drink my coffee and write my blog. I think I’ve finally come to the point where I’ve annoyed my mom. Yesterday when I talk to her I said I’m just so happy and she said I know I know I know LOL The dogs are adjusting well, but find two aspects difficult. We lived in an apartment in someone’s home, now I live in the…
OK moving should come with a gigantic warning, this was horrible. I thought I was so prepared. I wasn’t! I think moving would be hard for anybody, but adding multiple sclerosis to it is just a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, in the morning my aid was running late so that left the beginning of the day on me. I had a couple things left to pack up. I didn’t think it was gonna be a big deal, IT WAS A…
For first time ever, there really might not be a post for me tomorrow. Tomorrow is my move day. As of tomorrow, everything is going to the condo including Zoey and Marshmallow. I’m a little concerned about these two. I would’ve liked to have had them there before tomorrow but it didn’t work out. I was going to bring them over but it turns out my painter is allergic. I know for them it would’ve probably been better if they…
It’s the hump day. That middle of the week where it’s all downhill to Friday. I’ve been up since roughly 5:30 this morning. I’m exhausted. I couldn’t sleep. I should change that, I couldn’t fall back to sleep. Not sleeping is like an instant bad day with MS. I just wrote the ticket for the day. Not that I could’ve controlled it, I just know how my body is when I don’t sleep. My daughter was up all night studying…
