Made for Us

I saw this post on Facebook just before I went to sleep and I texted Sean the actual video and told him this video was made for us!:

This is the song that goes along with the elephants walking across the street. I am not sure if that is going to be a live link from Facebook but I’ll put this song here. That is Sean’s ‘guilty-pleasure’ song!:

It’s for both of us! I love elephants! He used to love that song when he was a kid!

My Mother’s Wit has Perfect Timing!!!

There is a moment each morning when my bed changes from zero gravity to completely flat. That moment is a very painful moment! I have written about it before when Sean noticed the moment my face changes when I am completely flat. That was the second or third day I had slept in the bed.

Now, since my disease has progressed, the face I make is accompanied with groans and sometimes body jerks.

So, when I awoke today, my Mom watches as my bed goes flat and my body jerks and I groan. I have told her that that is something I just have to endure before she gets me into my wheelchair. She does not enjoy watching that at all so today, just as I was almost flat she told me after I groaned that she could just smack my leg do you distract me and I’ll began to laugh!

I laughed because I remember that she told me that she would smack my face to wake it up when I was having numbness sensations on my face.

We laughed about it for a long time and I told her that her wit has perfect timing because that was really funny! I reminded her that Sean thinks that she is funny as well. It’s very understated and you don’t expect that but my Mom’s wit has absolute perfect timing because I needed to laugh today!!! Year 21 of a mess ain’t no joke!!!

Labor?

Bryan dropped the ball yesterday and did not call us to order my phone after my Apple ID was unlocked. It’s a holiday today so I guess I will just have to wait another day. When I was a child in grade and high school, I always started school BEFORE Labor Day as did Sean because we both went to Catholic schools. Existence is a lot more difficult now that I am no longer in the workforce but I could ignore the pain when I was working. Now, my MS has taken center stage…

The FI-AS-CO Continues!!!

I woke up this morning to pain in my feet and I set up in my bed by adjusting it and I grabbed my phone off of the charging pad to see what time it was. Once I took it off of the pad, and remained black!!!

I had no idea what time it was but I knew that my feet were hurting. I took my pill with my water and took an Atkins snack because the Lorna Doones have proved to be too many carbs for me!

We spent the morning on the phone! It is a complete mess and I can’t remember my Apple ID password?! That’s because I had to change it six days ago when I got my new phone but now that it is dead, I can’t access it! It’s absolutely horrible!

So, I am using my moms phone as she is resting because she spent all morning trying to figure it out because I was so upset that I can’t even speak. That’s a new thing happening now and it kind of stinks!!!

Time to Pillage

It’s Saturday. I drank both of my shakes for my breakfast and lunch and so now it’s time to Pillage!!!:


This comic reminds me of the comics I would read when I was a kid. My Dad would discard the comics and the sale papers every week and I would read the comics on Sunday and I would go shopping with the sale papers and then put the papers in the recycle bin at the base of the stairs in the basement when I was finished.

The SAME Damn Phone?!!!!

So, my Mom had to take both of my phones back to the Verizon store today. With my old phone, I could text and get on the Internet. My new phone had all of my updated contacts. I had her snap this picture today before she took the old phone in with the new phone. With all of the two day fiasco to get it activated, it’s the SAME damn phone!:


The one on the left is my new phone and the one on the right, which I was not even finished paying for, is on the left. The only way I can tell them apart is because I have Super Bowl T-shirt stickers from the Super Bowl this past year. Matty won!!! The one on the left is a 12 and the one on the right is an 11 that I was not finished paying for! I had to pay it off before I got the new one!!! Grrr!!!

FI-AS-CO!!!

Absolute insanity!!! Last month, my Mom’s phone got messed up and she needed a new phone. Sharing a phone while her phone came was a little bit trying! I hooked her up with the new phone! I have no problem with that at all! I got her her cell phone back when Sean was born when she was his nanny because I needed to get a hold of her at all times. We’ve just kept it that way! No problem!

But, last week, my phone died. Given how important my phone is to me now with being chronically ill, I had to figure that out as well. I am on a fixed income and you can’t bleed a turnip! So, I ordered my phone on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday and my Mom who had rented a van to take my power chair to be refurbished, made the appointment to get the screen protector put on and to get the phone activated for later yesterday.

I She was with the manager for an hour and 15 minutes and they still could not get it. He could not load a Sim card into the phone! He tried three times before my Mom told him that she will come the next morning.

That’s what she did this morning so now I have a working phone! It was a two day fiasco for sure with some colorful people at the Verizon store as she waited this morning!!!
