Month: August 2026

I have been thinking about this for a long while. Neuropathy ain’t no joke!!! ‘Splain ya tomorrow…

I pillaged today and I did not drop any pills. I haven’t done that in a long time because I think that I put my pills in my pillbox a lot slower than I used to. It takes a little bit over an hour. I think I am going to see Dr. Clark in April next year.

The first quarter of the year is scheduled, or rather, reserved because I have to get my teeth cleaned in January, I need to get my state ID renewed In February, and I need to see my internist to get weighed in March. I thought that I would have an April appointment scheduled, but I got word that I don’t have to see that doctor until August.

I never thought this would be my ENTIRE life, managing my MS. But it is. I hope that I can do this for a long time, putting My supplements in my box. While I did it this week. I will call on Wednesday to order my supplements for September.

I’m still right in the middle of vacillating between acceptance and mourning my current situation. I think this will be a constant battle for me, but I think today I am leaning towards accepting it more than mourning it. This will change, probably a little bit today as well.

My daily routine is the same every day. I wake up and pray as I drink two shakes (Breakfast and lunch) because this heat is STILL unbearable. I drink my first after taking my morning vitamins I listen to an audio rosary. Then I stretch my hands (with my therapy putty) and then I stretch my arms to a third rosary and then take my lunch vitamins. I continue my daily prayers off of the Hallow app and then I can begin my routine to get ready for the day with my Mom‘s help.

I watched Voicemails for Isabelle and I realized that the song that is playing when her mom tells her that Isabelle has died is the same song from that Guinness commercial!!!

I searched my blog for that commercial to repost. I didn’t find a couple, but I watched that commercial on YouTube and I cried! This was back when I thought that I could be physically able to live my life in my manual wheelchair. Things didn’t work out like that! I am a Power chair now and I have been since July 2018. I didn’t see that one coming, but I guess I kind of did.

Here is the song:

So, just so you know, this is the temperature right now:

As such, I am still rockin’ my Cucumber Mint chapstick so currently, Things are NOT fluid!!! But I did see a Hocus Pocus meme on Facebook today:

Autumn is coming, but it can’t come fast enough for me!!! I smelled that crisp smell the other morning but it’s not here anymore…

So, this happened today:

I was a bit shocked at hearing the news. I think it’s the weather back-and-forth right now where I cried a little bit. I cried when Sean Connery died, and I straight bawled when Beverly clearly died!!!

Before all of her plastic surgery, my Dad (and I) think she kind of looks like my Mom.

I just dutifully watched Dumplin’ today on Netflix. My Mom told me that she would rather watch 9 to 5, but I don’t think that one’s One of my favorites. Steel Magnolias will be making an appearance, even though it’s not Easter!!!

I cannot wait to watch Dreaming of a Smoky Mountain Christmas in December!!!:

I saw it on YouTube a few years ago, and I will have to catch it this Christmas as well!!! This movie was my jam when I was a kid.

Well, I smelled it this morning:

But, here is the thing, I was finishing the last of my ‘bag-o-chapstick’ today which was Cucumber Mint which is a spring/summer flavor. Then, it got very warm and so I had to continue using the Cucumber Mint chapstick.

Tomorrow morning, I may smell autumn, but I think I have to wait because it’s going to be 80° tomorrow during the day so I think I will continue on with my Cucumber Mint chapstick? I think the ‘changing of the guard’ for my chapstick will be fluid for the next couple weeks? What else do I have to do? Nothing.

I cannot believe this is my life now. This kind of sad, but I don’t like to think about it because there’s nothing I can do. I just endure. I have three appointments coming in September. First, I am getting my teeth cleaned the day before I get paid and then I’m getting a haircut when I get paid. The following week, I’m going to see Dr. Chamas to get my flu shot, get weighed, and get a referral for my mammogram which will happen in November.

My lymphoma hurts on my back. It hasn’t hurt since I discovered it and I’m a little bit concerned about that. I will talk to Dr. Chamas about it on September 22. That’s pretty much all I think about now. That and my constant pain. I will continue paying on my account for Henry Ford, but after my appointment with Dr. K goes through, I will not add any co-pays to my balance for the rest of the year. That’s kind of exciting!

I watched TWO Hallmark Christmas movies today and I thoroughly enjoyed them!!! I think I saw Holiday Crashers for the first time a couple years ago and I had to watch it three different times to get see whole movie. It usually goes ending, beginning, and then middle. Then I understand what’s going on! I first saw it a couple of Julys ago Then I won’t went right into Single of the 25th.

I watched two Christmas movies and it’s August?! This change of season is horrible, and my house is cold most of the time because if I overheat, I won’t be able to see, and that is terrible to go through!

This was an impromptu Christmas in August?! but I don’t think I minded it so much! I liked both movies so that’s a plus!!! I’ll see them again at Christmas!

i’ve been watching the Hallmark Channel a lot and so I have seen a bunch of Commercials and I have decided that I really like these:

But I guess I can’t seem to share these videos. They amuse me kind of like the Khol’z Mom one or both from progressive. This one made me laugh:

A Trilogy. I saw this one today:
