Nice Enough For A Long Walk

A few shots taken on the trail late this afternoon. I'm disappointed that the ones I took of the waterfall didn't turn out. The only time of the year you can even see it is when the trees are bare. Oh well, I'm glad I at least had the energy to go for a walk up there. The weather is pleasant and should be even milder. I have a bet on with my son that we will get more snow before April 15th Even though I don't want more snow, no way will we be that lucky and have nice clear sidewalks till next November.

Yesterday I forgot to mention Habitat for Humanity. They had a booth at the home show. Turns out, they will come to your home and tear out your kitchen, take everything away at no charge, and even give you a tax receipt for any salvageable items . All for a good cause too. Now I'm thinking that along with all the other incentives, I have no more excuses to get some work done around the house. That is except for money, which I will have to borrow.
Depressing health news stories today. The bad economy is resulting in bigger sales of junk food, as people look for cheap eats. That glass of red wine everyday, increases a woman's risk of breast cancer . A million women can't be wrong.

I really hate this new set up on blogger I can't tell what the heck anything looks like till I publish my post and have to keep coming back to revise it. Grrr!

Laundry !

You know times are strange when I can get excited about doing laundry.

Finally the washing machine I bought a month ago is working properly. I feel vindicated too.
The repair guy kept insisting over the phone that: 1. the machine wasn't balanced properly (it was) 2. It wasn't hooked up properly(it was) 3. I didn't understand how to use a front loading machine(what's there to know ?) Turns out the circuit board was faulty and had to be replaced
Now the machine works like a charm ! I'm saving the old board to go along with the old computer hard drive and some other bits and pieces of tech garbage. I might make a sculpture ?"tech fail"?

Have to face it, the doctor is right, I'm having a relapse. Heavy tingling in my hands, wonky balance,twitches, tremors, and sparkly in my right eye. I'm also making more and more spelling mistakes, and not just when I type. It happens when I write too. I don't seem to be able to put the letters in the right order. It made me cry, because I think what a fool I am to have believed that my MS was going away and that maybe I would never have another attack.

Talked with my union rep. today. She claims she is pushing ahead to get me tele work. She too is frustrated with the delay of the Health Canada report. She also noticed I was a bit unsteady on my feet. Progress? I'm not sure. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes. I know when I was a union steward years ago, I was always uncomfortable with how cosy the upper echelons of the union were with management. Still though, the union would get a boost if it were successful to get me tele work So many people want it and would benefit from it. Just hope I don't go bankrupt in the meantime.

Now I have to go check out Wellsphere and see what it's all about. I'll comment tomorrow if I have the energy.

I Think it's Working

Feeling a little better today Perhaps the drugs are starting to work.
I wanted to do a post tonight about the "Visibility of Invisibility " Wrote the whole thing out during my coffee break today. Reading it tonight I realize it's a bunch of rubbish and I thought to myself "Carole you really should shut up" so I'll just say that if I had to choose, I would stick with invisibility.

Visibility would mean I'm in much worse shape than I am now. Yeah, it's for the birds when people say "you look so good" or "you don't look sick" still better than talking to me like a baby, the way they do to the guy in a wheelchair at work.

I did bad on the health quiz tonight 3/8. I always thought it was seniors who shared prescription drugs, turns out it's teenage girls !
