Time to knit more beanies... ;)

I am missing a few of the beanies and hats I knit last year. I will make new ones.

I still have leftover yarn from the ball of yarn I made the oatmeal beanie, with a purple stripe. I don't have anymore of the purple, but I do still have some of the blue bulky yarn I used to make hats.

I will take photos of my finished products and post them on my Facebook page... HandmadeByJendy

I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago

I've heard through the grapevine that I should be able to do a whole thanksgiving dinner since I'm still young. Well, I am just 45, but I've been dealing with MS, which is a chronic progressive disease. I may look like I'm someone who could do it, but I'm NOT!

I can barely walk 3 eighths of a mile before needing to rest for at least an hour.

I am still relatively young, but I'm not the person I was 20 years ago. If I stand in one place for too long, the muscles in my legs freeze in a way and forget how to walk.

Blast of Summer pt 2

The first blast was before the 4th of July, possibly before the official start of summer. We had temps up into the 80s. They are here again.... I wish I had a window A/C unit. The temp in my apartment got up to 83 degrees. My front door was open and the fan is on full blast.

.... Insurance

I went to the pharmacy to pick up my refills, when I remembered that there was another prescription that I needed to be refilled, too. I ask about it, they tell me it would be ready in 15 minutes. After 5 minutes I get told that my insurance didn't want to fill that one, but suggested a similar med.

I have experience with the suggested medication, and it didn't really work for me. I'm guessing that over the past 14 years they have cleared my past prescriptions out of my file. I have been using the same pharmacy for the past 14 years.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Tragedy of Healthy Eating

Tragedy of Heathy Eating

I really loved this.

Wendy-isms

Out House Steak Back... said instead of Outback Steak House.

Eye Gag... when I couldn't think of blindfold.

Bleans instead of Beans.... which coincides with Blandon instead of Brandon.

Whose legs are attached to my body?

They sure aren't mine, they don't feel right.

I walked over to the hospital today. I had gotten a letter from my insurance company, saying that I can get the MRI that my neurologist wants me to get, but I got told that I'm supposed to call a number and make the appointment.

I call the number I was given, but I got told that they can't schedule an MRI for me until after THEY get the referral paperwork and after checking, they don't have it yet.

WTF???

The referral paperwork I got said it's good from March 6, 2014- April 5, 2014. I received the paperwork on March 13, 2014.

I feel like my body is revolting against me. I get slightly too warm and double vision comes on faster than a momma grizzly attacks the person touched her cubs.

I am not happy about what MS has done to me. All I want to do is sleep.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Coffee

I just want to ramble about the most delicious coffee I've doctored lately.
I put one tablespoon of quality hot chocolate (I've used Ghiradelli and Starbucks) mix put into my coffee cup, then pour 13-14 oz coffee. Then add 2-3 tbsp hazelnut creamer.


The hot coffee on the dry cocoa mix helps it blend easier.

What was I going to say?

About 10 minutes ago I had an idea of something to post in here.

My health has been somewhat sketchy lately....  I had a flare up of MS symptoms that had me going to the emergency room because I was in a lot of pain. I didn't even realize it was MS related until after talking with the ER doc.

Then a week later I got a cold... I'm still suffering from the sx- itchy, watery eyes; phlegm based cough; sneezing.

Unfortunately, Tom got Pneumonia again...


Nick's dad keeps forgetting that we share joint custody of him. He wants to move back to Colorado and take Nick with him. That isn't going to fly with me. Nicolas has told me on numerous occasions that he wants to live with me again. I would welcome this.

I'm thinking of submitting a new parenting plan with the court. Nick's dad has been keeping Nick away from me as a way to punish him.
