The ‘Nubs’

I have decided that I am NOT going to change out my candle scents today, but I am going to keep my Spring/Summer candles until I’m done with the nubs. Here are the nubs:

I will use the Cucumber Mint until the weekend which I don’t think it’s going to last that long.

I will finish up strong with the Dragonfruit Lemon. I know that I have a bunch of Açai Berry in my basement, which is discontinued, so let’s hope I find it soon, but I have until next spring to figure that out.

My Fall chapstick box is already in my remote control box at my side table. I totally cannot wait for a Fall and I’m glad that I can think a little more clearly now! My brain is no longer hot!

Change of Seasons

I have felt terrible the last couple days and looking at the weather tonight, why did I NOT realize this was happening?! It’s the change of seasons! Duh?!

I really feeling like this is the end of the air conditioning this season. I got cold today when we finished our routine. I’m going to change over to my Fall candles tomorrow so I can smell the change of seasons as well.

However, I still have two nubs of my Spring/Summer flavors (Cucumber Mint and Dragonfruit Lemon) before I fully delve into my Fall flavors.

So, probably for a week, my lips are NOT going match the season we are going into, but I’m not leaving the house so I can fool myself about that.

My Faith Journey

This is the fourth time pillaging with my new pillbox and it has gotten so much easier! I like that the weather is going to calm down, at least during the night so my brain can relax. I am currently listening to Saint Michael’s Lent and Hallow and it’s kind of blowing my mind!

I didn’t know anything about it, but neither did the guy who’s running it! I started doing the Advent and Lent challenges a few years ago and I’ve never seen this one so I decided to do it.

Brother Isaiah speaks and prays in this challenge. A couple days ago, he talked about his music and offered the possibly that it could help us with our faith journey. Well, I’ve listened to this album on Hallow and I discovered that it is also on Apple Music. I was originally reminded of Jack Johnson, but then as I listened to the album further, he kind of sounded more like Jason Mraz. But then he started speaking ‘the habla’?! I found myself crying while listening to this album. And I kind of love this song!!!:

I think that brother Isaiah was right, that’s definitely will help with my faith journey!

More Difficult.

I told my mom that the weather today is more difficult for me. During our routine, I cried twice. Pitiful tears just streamed out of both my eyes and my cheeks! Today was definitely more difficult, but I do NOT need to leave the house until September 17 when we will be fully into the ‘ber months!!!

3 Memories

We got haircuts today and also a Little Caesers deep dish pizza. I can eat those still. It was kind of busy today because Christina, my hair cutter had a bunch of people she was working with. I just sat there and waited until my turn, in the corner. I was hearing some pretty excellent tunes though. They all had different memories!!!

Memory #1: I am sitting in the backseat of my Mom’s green station wagon. Either with my friends or my cousins and we are ALL singing along:

Memory #2: I am sitting in my house by myself, watching, No Strings Attached which when I think about it, is a movie that I should watch again! I am no stranger to ‘heartbreak donut holes’!!! Sean knows!!! I thought that it was a godsend that our second apartment was so close to a Tim Hortons!!

I’m just not sure how I am going to watch this movie with my Mom in the house?

Memory #3: My Mom did NOT like this song until she heard this rendition and I kind of liked it too:

And this is the song I heard sitting in the corner, waiting to get my eyebrows waxed:

We see the same women getting their hair done when we get our haircuts. They had a really intriguing story today! I really LOVE getting lost in those three memories today! That’s where I live now, especially in this heat!

I wore my regular sweatshirt today just because I was too tired to switch to my T-shirt and zippy. I’m glad because it was a little bit chilly and I put my hood on. I think next month, I may have to wear my winter coat. I really wish that I could still control my body temperature, but I think that went away three or four years ago… #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

A Lot!!!

My Mom went to go pick up the van. This is the final haircut for this insanely horrible summer!!! I have been feeling that the weather is breaking and I’m an able to breathe a little bit better!!!

I think when September starts and I get a little bit more comfortable with the weather outside and just before I freeze death, I will write about it.

This whole time, since January 17 and my ultrasound that produced some not good things. We have been going full throttle and this heat HAS NOT been helpful at all!!! I think that there may be some personal changes at my van rental company, but I’m not sure yet. I’ve never had MS for this long and it’s a lot!!!

Not Often

I was beyond tired yesterday and had a very difficult time completing our routine. It wasn’t until my Mom gave me my dinner when I asked her why was I so tired?! And then I remembered! Yesterday, morning, Saturday, I was awaked to chainsaws and six people talking loudly at 9 o’clock in the morning. I wasn’t done sleeping! I laid in bed for a while and try to just go back to sleep, but that was not going to happen!

I was reminded of that fact when I asked my Mom why I was so tired. I was so tired because I was not done sleeping! This morning, they had to clean up a bunch of debris because they cut down my neighbor’s tree yesterday because the house has been sold.

My Mom was very sad and she took pictures! She is laying down so I can’t share them right now but I’ll probably share some pictures tomorrow. I am concerned on what that’s going to do for the air quality around my house. I’m sensitive to that now!

But I don’t leave my house more than 24 times a year. Maybe more this past year because I had four appointments each month for a few months now. I will have four appointments in October as well but normally, it’s not often because I am homebound now. I only leave my house for doctors appointments, dentist appointments, and haircuts. I never thought my life would be like this in 1 million years!!

So Much MORE Miserable!!!

I told my Mom a couple of weeks ago that it has been too hot for too long and I’m not doing well. I read this article yesterday and I KNEW that there was ‘method to my madness’!!! This is absolutely miserable!!!

I told my Mom that I am so happy that my central air is fixed because I don’t think I could handle it if it wasn’t! We continued talking and I told her that I haven’t had air for the last nine years, but this is so much more miserable!!!

I guess that I have always had a flair for the dramatics because yesterday, I exclaimed through tears, “This is the worst I’ve felt in my entire life!!!” Because it was. I was just trying to recover from my doctor appointment which now is going to be an every six months thing. I’m just glad with all these doctors that I am collecting, it fits in with my schedule. I have already penciled in the first four months of next year. #MSsucks… 😒😒😒…
