So, last night I traded in my 2010 Honda Accord for a 2012 Honda Accord with 37,000 miles on it. Mine had 81,000 on it already, LOL ( Read more... )

I have to say, I do like spring. Love dandelions and all the daffodils that just seem to spring up out of nowhere around here. I always thought daffodils had to cultivated and tended like tulips, but there's a version that seems to grown wild in my area of the state. I've even seen bunches of them in cow pastures ( Read more... )

Another year almost gone. Wow. I feel like I have accomplished so little this year. Huh. Another year where I feel like I have spent most of my time fighting illness and medical bills. The MS? Yeah, that's a given, but now I'm battling kidney stones too and a chronic foot issue. Ugh. I found out yesterday that my cranky old Chihuahua has gone into ( Read more... )

I'm so behind on LJ! I haven't had time or inclination to peruse my reading page, etc. I can't get on LJ at work, which would be the ideal place to catch up. Oh well ( Read more... )

Hmm, I haven't posted in long time. Probably for good reason, LOL. I'm not much fun these days ( Read more... )

My beloved 2000 Honda Accord EX finally passed on last week. At 227,300 miles, the engine unexpectedly died. It may be kinda weird, but I loved that car. I drove it for ten years, spending an average of two hours every weekday in it. It carried me through some insanely dangerous conditions during the Nashville Flood, toted me through ice and snow ( Read more... )

It's a four day break from work-- yippee! I'm in the middle of reading two books, watching Torchwood Miracle Day and Strikeback, cleaning, and taking lots of naps, LOL. I'm also planning on making chili and cornbread on Christmas Eve, which for me is a three hour, kitchen wrecking affair ( Read more... )

I nearly lost my Chloe on Thursday. At work of all places. I work in a dog friendly office, and she comes with me most days. She's a 2.5 year old black pug, and she has her own bed next to my desk, and an assortment of toys. She's a real charmer whose only fault is she is a food gulper. She was starved as a youngster, and it's a behavioral trait I ( Read more... )

My latest guilty pleasure is watching Strike Back, the Cinemax series. Anybody know where to find good Strike Back slash fic?

In the last month I have missed nearly a full week of work because of an MS related equilibrium issue that made it impossible for me to drive. I had another brain MRI (because of the equilibrium problem). I had an endoscopy. I've had five doctor visits--three with blood draws. And my usual infusion today. I am tired of people poking and prodding at ( Read more... )
