Lost in a book
I finally surfaced from the depths of my book only to realize that midnight had passed by a while ago. Caught up in magic, dragons, dwarfs, magicians, unicorns and such, I lost track of time and place.
Found a good one in this freebie Kindle book, actually two books so far in this series. You can find the first one here but it is no longer a freebie. http://www.amazon.com/Wand-Makers-Debate-Osrics-Wand-Book-ebook/dp/B005JQ9D8A/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427175924&sr=1-3&keywords=osrics+wand
I’m on book two of the series.
You all have a good one. I’m diving back in.
It’s melting!
The yard is, once again, almost clear of snow. I hope that is the last we see of it for a long time. I’m one lottery win away from never seeing it again. The last three winters were miserable and this one was the worst of them. Lucy and I are not fond of the cold and we’re hoping we never have to go through another winter like this one. Gavin and The Curmudgeon don’t care about the cold. I’m all about the heat. So looking forward to real spring weather and the summer. 
You all have a good one!
Coffee break
Yeah, I can’t think of anything to write tonight so I’m going to take a runner and leave you all hanging.
Wearing this shirt. 😀
So the snow finally slowed down…almost stopped…
The day before yesterday, our yard was clear of snow…
Today we’re supposed to hit fifty degrees. Oh, please, please, please let it be.
You all have a good one!
First day of spring and we get snow…geez!
Pack your bags old man winter. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! So long. Farewell. Time for you to go now.
Yeah, I think I’ll stop with the birthdays…
Yesterday was my 61st birthday. I dreaded it. I did not enjoy it.
Bright spot of the day was opening a card from my cousin and seeing that she really does get me. Loved the music it played too.
I need a beach to live on for the rest of my life. Come on Lottery win!
Thank you to all who who wished me well.
You all have a good one.
One birthday present…
My birthday gift to myself came yesterday.
It looks great in my room and it is the perfect height for me to use my bed for a foot rest.
*Doing a happy dance.*
You all have a good one!
Blah
My birthday is in two days. This one is depressing as hell. I feel as though I have nothing to show for all these years on this earth.
All my art work that my parents had kept over the years is gone–stolen by someone I should be able to trust with my life, but I wouldn’t trust her with a bag of dog shit.
My writing is at a standstill because my brain won’t work under stress.
All I have is The Curmudgeon, my cousins, my friends, and the pups.
Come to think of it, I am wealthy.
You all have a good one.
Even a couple of hours away is a good thing
A few hours away from the house is like a mini vacation for me. I already feel calmer than I have in the last few days. They were a bitch and so was I.
G and I went to the local flower show. We had a great time even though this year’s was the smallest it’s ever been. I talked to several ‘hardscapers.’ I have dreams of redoing the yard into a more functional (for The Curmudgeon) patios and pathways, raised garden beds, more private, and dog friendly yard.
I found a garden piece at the same stand I bought one from two years ago. Love it! Is it two or more than two that make a collection? I might be starting one. 😉
The one I bought 2 years ago
Without Tecfidera life goes on
Slower, clumsier, and with falls. His day wasn’t easy.
Of course I didn’t get much sleep. Why? Because everyone and his brother was calling on the phone starting at 9 a.m. with appointment reminders. These are the same people I tell that ‘I am not a morning person so please make my appointment for the afternoon.’
Think much?
Yeah, I didn’t think so. This was me today…
A day without his Tecfidera is like hell
He started out poor but able to take the dogs out in the morning. By the time I got up he was already having difficulty walking.
A few hours later we were off to our wellness appointments with our doctor. He was not walking well and actually fell in the office rest room. (This I find out later on.) The doctor ran a blood test they tried to get a urine test done but he couldn’t go so I had to run back to them later with a sample.
By dinnertime he was down to using a pee bottle and having the pad on his chair again. There was no walking without a walker. And this is just the first 24 hours.
I’m seriously in need of a lottery win and… 
Where is the deep end and how far do I have to jump?
So another day where I was on the go went by with me not getting anything else done.
Took Lucy to the vet for a wellness check and two shots for which she was due. I know she’s getting too chunky and have often scolded The Curmudgeon for giving her pieces of his molasses cookies. Proof, she’s gained seven pounds since her last visit.
Yeah, she’s going walking with me when we get decent walking weather.
I swear if a black cloud could aim for over our house it most assuredly has done that. We got a phone call from The Curmudgeon’s neurologist. According to his blood work, he has to stop taking the Tecfidera immediately.
This is the medication that improved his walking so much. He’s to have monthly blood tests now. He is also to have a new MRI done of his head. He is off all MS medications for the time being since they aren’t going to put him back on the Avonex. This is terrifying and devastating all at once. We have no clue what is going to happen from here.
I need that lottery win more than ever. He needs better care than I can give him. A whopping win would take care of that and buy me a little house on a beach somewhere. If I don’t go live on a beach for the rest of my life, I’ll need a rubber room and restraints.
