Had enough snow, Connecticut? There's more expected Friday - The Middletown Press : Serving Middletown, CT

I am so tired of this snow. Not only is it snow, its windy and cold! I have the worst case of cabin fever. I feel as though I have not been in the outside world in weeks. That includes the grocery store. I am wondering if PeaPod delivers in this mess. It would at least give me something to do. There are only so many times you can check on your friends on Facebook.

Insomnia

Is it called insomnia if you sleep a little? Probably not. But yesterday I was so tired from the chemo that I had to take a nap. Maybe thats why I am up before 5am. I'm thinking I will play some video games before he gets up and then the news when he does get up and then a nice hot bath.
Chemo went well. They had to stick me 5 times to get a vein but they finally did and I was ok. The facilities were awesome. You had your own tv, own little living area really. There were a few people there for an icy day. I just wanted to get it over with. But the only side effect I had was fatigue and that could be a little depression creeping in to. So I would go back. But first I am going to try it at home. I want to weigh all my options before I pick one. But so far, it's looking like the center.

home sweet mess

It does feel good to be http://danic.blogspot.com/2010/12/ms-attack-2010.html" target="_blank" home. But man, this house is a MESS!!!!!!!!!!! On the upside, it's my Birthday on Tuesday. I am so playing the Sims 3 tonight - gotta learn how to play.

MS Attack 2010

As the cleanup from The Blizzard of 2010 slowly continues, my speech and dexterity slowly begin to get better. I have been going through my own personaal form of hell this past wweek. I couldn't write (say goodbye to those Christmas cards). I couldn't walk without falling (bye to driving, unskinned knees and elbows, unassisted bathing, and general independence). I couldn't talk and make sense (I think this was the hardest. I am big into family and didn't want them to see me not being able to speak so I stayed home)

I am thankful for having such a wonderful partner with Rob and an understanding family. So Rob and I are planning a trip. I haven't felt good so we were debating but after an IM session with my cousin, I really just want to see them. And it looks like the weather is nice for the weekend. We will be staying at "The North Pole". More specifically, the Adirondack Mountain region. It would be great if one of us skied or snowboarded or even went tubing. But we are indoor people. So some of the beauty of the Adirondacks is lost on us. No worries though, there's a lot to do, and I heard a rumor about a little girl getting a wii. There are also many family members that I have a lot of catching up to do with. And really that's the reason why we are taking a 6 hour journey. Yes, I did say SIX hours. And it is a loooooong six hours. Since we are leaving so late, it will be dark for most of the ride (making reading impossible). Hopefully I can knit in the dark to give me something to do other than look for a radio station that we can both agree on. Happy New Year to anyone out there.

Stupid MS

Luckily I had a LOT of help from Rob.I got TONS of gifts (I am a spoiled brat).This past Christmas was very hard for me. I had a very hard time writing. Needless to say, all my Christmas cards did not get done, I couldn't write out the tags, I couldn't wrap presents and I ended up very frustrated.). We got a USB turntable, a new printer, TONS of wii games, new clothes, and some neat Yankees, Mets and Giants gear. And of course, my Holiday Barbie. But because I was not feeling well, I have lots of visiting to to do. All this on top of going to visiting my Gram in upstate New New New York. It's going to be a long week.

Veterans Day

I found this on this net and thought it was perfect for today. God bless our troops and veterans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

By Taylor Weinman
Representing the red white and blue
The colors of our flag stand out proud and true.
The white stars on blue background with red and white stripes
Remind me of these veterans, who all risked their lives.
Just so the people of the U.S. could all live in peace and be free
These are the heroes that represent you and me.
They stood up strongly, untied as one,
And kept up the fighting until they were done.
And although some have fallen, and lost their lives in war,
We pray for each one of them.
And now that their souls live on forever more,
Above in God’s hands.They watch over our nation,
And give us strength to triumph over others with strong anticipation.
So every year, when this day comes by,
Think of all the veterans that while fighting, had to die.
And remember that they were people
With fire and passion embedded inside.
They die for this country, So remember and honor them with pride

HOT in the suburbs

thank you to whomever for setting me on the right path. if it wasn't for my last doctor discharging me, I would have never found an MS Specialist. And thus far, he has helped me immensely. I have almost gotten back to myself, though I know that takes time. And, there is another pile of shit headed my way. I refuse to look at it until it gets here though.

tough times

I am going through a lot lately. One of my best friends just moved to Florida, my doctor of 12 years "discharged" me "due to a breakdown in the patient-doctor relationship", I have to been seen my a new doctor within the next week so I am not late with my prescriptions, I have to find a therapist, another one of my best friends is moving at the end of next month, and it looks as though I may have to declare bankruptcy. I guess when the shit hits the fan, there is a lot to fall on you. On the upside...yeah I got nothing. I guess I will do some window shopping online to cheer me up.

Home Again

After a recent sleeping problem and a week-long trip to the hospital, it is good to be home. It's nice to sleep in my own bed and to use the computer. Law and Order is on this morning. My dad wants me to pick strawberries for Fathers Day tomorrow. Problem is, I have no money. So I have to wait until noon for Dad to get out of work.
I also have to make cards for tomorrow. I have to look for a Father's Day pattern.
At the hospital, there was a basket made out ontf magazines. I want to make one sooooo badly,

The Way To Happiness

The Way to Happiness
Psalms 1
God blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won't follow sinners or join in sneeing of God. Instead, the Law of the Lord makes them happy, and they think about it day and night. They are like trees growing behind a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do.
