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:

I just read that those eye drops are for dry eye disease. My Mom asked if that’s what I have and I said, ‘probably.’ Almost 26 years with MS. Dr. Cerghet did not tell me that I had SPMS (secondary progressive multiple sclerosis) until I asked. I guess that these labels really don’t matter all that much this far in. I just have to endure, but my eyes still feel a little bit wonky though… I absolutely hate that I hear that doctor so many years later…

i’m startled that Dr. Harris suggested this to me, but he did. I didn’t take him up on the suggestion though:

I wasn’t about having to have these airdrops twice a day for the rest of my life. He kind of saw that I bristled at it and said that I can keep using my current ‘Renu for contacts’ drops. Just use them more often. I feel that for sure and I have them three or four times before I take my contacts out.

I’m having a problem with with my eyes and I am a -8 now. We are going on Wednesday to get fitted for them Before I get my haircut. And then that’s it for this month.
