Today had the missing ingredient from yesterday to make the perfect day...sunshine....albeit the wind was still nippy but hardly noticed it when the sun was shining...although I was having a hurting day I had a busy day...I made contact with 2 recently diagnosed MS people...different stories but still the same uncertainty of MS haunts them both...we had a good chat ....spent part of my day resting and knitting ....have added yoga to my treatment program....the stretches,relaxation techniques and meditation are proving beneficial....I doubt tho' I will ever have the flexability for some of the moves but who knows......today has been quite busy for me but an enjoyable day and definately a GOOD day........

Here we are the middle of the week and once again sad to say it was not really a day to lolly gag along outside.....the wind was quite cold and raw....since I was kinda forced to the warmth of the indoors I did some alterations that have been piling up....I spent the better part fo my day fixing my shirts and blouses...(my fingers don't appreciate in fact refuse to co-operate with buttons)...so I sewed the fronts of my shirts closed...take that buttons and now easily slip shirts and blouses over my head....never thought I would be making that change....I also joined the Sask MS Blog....kinda support group for people living with MS...sometimes when you see something in writing or say someting out loud it just doesn't have the weight and complexity when it floats about in the mind......a GOOD chilly day served me well .......

This is a "ketchup" day!!!!and ketchup I do...my wish for sunshine has been granted and from the minute I open my eyes it is sunny and much warmer today....after a good night's rest I feel quite re-energized...I ketchup on all that has not been done since Friday....laundry , tidy-up,I go out for groceries, take my Crew &1 for their run....even ketchup on my blog as well as my e-mails. Nina (visiting pug) leaves today about 2:00p.m.-gonna be strange without her here..she fitted in real well....with my teacup in my hand both dogs relaxing at my feet I think that we are back on track....GOOD I sure think so!!!!!!!

Today is a "mustard" ......today I have mustered all the energy and strength I can to start the week...to get back into some kind of a routine (routine in my life is as important to me as is rest)..between rests I manage to do my exercises, go for a walk, take my Crew &1 for their run, do some laundry and tidy up...I even 'mustard' up enough rest to watch the premiere of Dancing with the Stars.....this has been a busy exhausting recuperating day (I sure do wish we would get a bit of sunshine tho').......Albeit I am quite tired I feel better thanks in part to my needle.....it has been a GOOD Mustard day!!!!!!!

Sunday March 21,2010

Today is a "relish" day...I relish every bit of every activity I share in....Dani, Griffin, Kim and I spend time at the school creek 'puddling'....puddling is when you challenge every puddle to see if your boots are high enough, will the ice hold you up or let you down and who will be the first to fall......This year Griffin has that dubious honor he managed to slip after doing the puddle shuffle...he managed to break thro' the ice and fill his boots....chilled and laughing we all return back to the house for hot chocolate and to warm up...all to soon it is time for them to pack up and head back to Yorkton....Lyle to leave for Saskatoon for his 3rd week and me to have my needle...this has been a day to relish and savour.....after my weekly needle I am ready to spend the rest of the day resting as each go their own way.......it has been a tiring but GOOD day....

Today is a "hotdog" day....Hotdog spring is finally here..but given the cool dull day and the way I am feeling it's like a naked hotdog (lacking the fixin's) none the less we have a new season underway...a time of new and rebirth that has to be good....I am feeling much better today still very sore and tired....middle of the afternoon I get a phone call from my grandson telling me that he and his family are coming down for a sleep over....that's the fixin's I need for that naked hotdog....with their arrival we indulge in tacos,banana splits,popcorn and movies and lots of laugter and "grandma do you know what I dids....." Today has sapped out the bit of energy I have managed to regain but it has trully been a busy GOOD day.........(family is a awesome part of the support system I rely on to help me cope....daughter and her family along with my husband undying support have made this a memorable welcome to spring 2010)

Friday March 19,2010

Today started out much like most Fridays...I was anxious for the week to be over and Lyle to be home...today is also officially the last day of winter2009 (can't say that every day)...but by 10:30 a.m. theday had officially changed into a relapse day and within hours tyenol, the bathroom, and rest became my best friends after a quick trip to my dr. and so Friday came and went...not totally a Bad day but not really a super GOOD day.......just the way it is when you live with MS the unperdictability of each day
