We were struck by lightening last Wed. July 30! A day I will never forget. It was the most God-awful noise I have ever heard and the brightest light I have ever seen. I was just going into the garage with a bag of trash when BOOM! It was such a strong noise that it knoc...

Praised the humble. Pitied the egotistical. Smothered envy's fire. Melted ice of prejudice. Spoke up, not relied on instinct. Watered friendship’s... Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:45:54 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/977765  I saw my neuro on Saturday (in Boston) and my MS has not changed. That is good news. (Hooray!!) I am going for an MRI just to be sure that the MS has not progressed.   The sad news is that I have Essential Tremor in my head that I have had for umpteen years and it is now in my hands. ...

We went out Sunday and looked. We want a 55 plus community. Some are gross and some are fabulous but outrageosly expensive! Our realtor is coming tonight to look at our house. I've been a mad person for 2 ... Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:49:11 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/922905 Hi everyone. A quick note to let you know that I am back from Florida! We had a fabulous time and I desperately want to move there! I loved the weather, the birds, the fauna, the alligators, the gulf, etc.  Here's my question? How do any of you who live down that way (hot, humid states... Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:37:50 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/870233 It's unbelievable. I went to Wal*Mart to see if they have any shorts as Hon and I are going to visit my cousin and his wife in FL. I grab a handful and head to the women's changing rooms. Lo and behold, the size 16's are way too big! And I had several different brands in my pile. Holy mo...

This is a bit long and detailed, but it is also to help me to remember some things!! I have been busy with company (ski country) cooking and catching up on much needed sleep. I’ve tried t... Sat, 01 Mar 2008 10:29:12 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/843714 Doing pretty well but now I'm hooked on popsicles. Next time I shop will look for sugar free ones. Hardly worth eating if they have no sugar. Maybe I'll hate them and that will be the end of pops. I also need to get some popcorn and see if that satisfies the crunchies.  Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:01:56 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/829844 I been fortunate in that I’ve been feeling good lately except for a few aches and pains here and there. Hubby and I had to run a few errands yesterday and we’re riding along and WHAM!, I get a TN attack that was just dreadful. However, by the time we got to the store, the stabbing ...

My depression is raging and I'm going to call the dr. to have my meds either changed or inccreased. I did something to my lower back and neck (I think it's called shoveling snow) and yesterday couldn't move. I feel a ... Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:12:59 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/39866/journal/818770 Doing well, but it's really hard. I miss my peanuts.
