Another quiet Sunday…

By Tracy

I hate the quiet all the time. It’s 105 degrees here and I so want to go outside and get in the pool and just swim. We purchased a 15′ above ground pool 7 years ago. In the beginning it was not a problem getting in… now no can do. I have not been able to get in for about 3 years now. We even purchased a dual staircase ladder to make it easier for me. Alas, it was good for a while. I so miss the sun and even the heat. I miss the water the most. :-(

I truly have become the “Vampire Mom’! The night is my friend!! moooowhaaaaaa

Halloween 2010.

See, I become one at Halloween. Love scaring the little ones!! :-P

Now to ramble… I LOVE Apple Support!! My MacBook Pro power adapter is messing up. Sometimes it charges, sometimes it doesn’t. So I went to Apple support, online, and set up a phone call for this morning at 10 am. On a Sunday even!! The CS rep, Greg, got me all hooked up with a new one coming overnight mail. Then all I have to do is send the old one back in the pre-paid box and I’m done. So glad I purchased the Apple Care protection. I love my MacBook Pro!! The best computers ever… and they’re pretty too! lol

Hoping everyone is having a great day!

My Crippled Access bathroom…

By Tracy

happy roll...

My bathroom is now useable and the tile is all done and my shower is ready for my crippled ass!! We still have to paint, and replace the toilet. [adding a toilevator for extra height] Just basic finishing touches. I am getting frames for around the toilet and shower chair for extra security and to make it easier for me to get up off the seats. The commode is going buh-bye!! Maybe we will have a ceremonial bonfire! Until the seat frames [rails] come I still need help showering. Luckily Roger ‘likes’ this chore! lol The perv! :-P

Now that we have this out of the way, it is time to move on to the next chapter of fixing up my home 101. lol It’s de-clutter time and make my home more cripple friendly. Mainly, I want to get rid of the junk, and make my home my castle. ;-) We are going to paint the interior, exterior, hopefully tile the rest of the main walkways and into the TV room, weatherstrip doors, fix dents in walls [no idea how those got there!] It’s not all going to happen overnight, but it will happen. Sadly, patience is not a virtue I have, but I am learning…

Haters…

By Tracy

“Don’t try to win over haters. You’re not the Jackass Whisperer.”

Thanks to my friend Vicki for this amazing quote!

Once a jackass, pretty much always a jackass. I do believe that people can change… some people. But, not everyone can or will change.  There are just some people that thrive on being assholes. Come one, you know it’s true. And I’m sure we all know one or two or even three people like this. And please, no bleeding hearts here. You know the , ‘maybe they had a bad childhood, bad day, etc!’ No, maybe they are just assholes!! I will go with maybe they are genetically fucked up. That can happen. But, mostly back to, maybe they are just assholes!

So the next time you try and be a good person and be the “Jackass Whisperer”, STOP… really you are just wasting your time!

xx, Tracy...

Ampyra?

By Tracy

I’m not so much into the Ampyra. Tried it for over 5 mos and sometimes it seemed as if my legs were weaker. Now this does not mean it will not work for all, just not so much for me. I had high expectations, but srsly, it is more for the less severe forms then the progressive forms. Might be only my opinion, but whatever. I know my MS and it knows me.

just say no

I really wanted it to help, but oh well whatcha gonna do. Keep waiting for them to finally get a useful medication for the serious progressive forms. I think that finding help for us would really help the less progressive forms.

So I wait, and pray that they find something for PPMS before I get so bad nothing will help.

On that not, off to watch ‘White Girls’ and omg they crack me up. Love the Wayans!!

Ampyra and other mindless thoughts

By Tracy

After being off the Ampyra for 2 weeks thanks to the prescription insurance buffoons, I finally got back on. The weird thing is I felt better being off of it than being back on it. I actually had more leg strength when off it then i do now. hmmmmm Makes me think may not be the right medication for MY PPMS! If I do not notice any real differences in the next couple of months, I’m done!!

Now the prescription ins people, CVS Caremark, are denying me a medication they approved for me for the past two years. WTF, Really!! So now i get the fun task of calling them and letting them have it! Greedy bastards!!

I added some new things to my sale items sections, and all kinds of new glass pendant necklaces, my newest love, to the shop. I am finding that when I am at my design table and making new pieces, it helps keep away those depression gremlins.

Keep an eye out for more ‘fun’ discount codes as December arrives. You’ll be able to save up to 20%.

If I’m not back by Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving, to all who celebrate.

One Bathroom does not a happy mom make…

By Tracy

Here is where we are at:

tile baby!

It’s a bit slow going but in the end it will be worth all the stress. I hope! lol The guys doing this for me work in 100+ degree weather and are beat after a 10 hour day, so coming by after work is not happening. And to top it off, they got their tools stolen at their job site! What fucking loser steals another person’s tools? I hope they catch the prick…I wanna watch!! lol

Thankfully for us we have another full bathroom.

The problem is me! Shaddup! lol Getting in to the other bathroom is a chore for me. My chair only goes in so far and then it is hang on and shuffle in. The bathtub/shower unit barely fits my shower chair, so I have to sit sideways. Getting my leg up and over the bathtub is comical in itself! Getting out, well I’m glad I’m still limber! All I’m sayin’! :-P

I must be spoiled as well, as I do not know how anyone can have 5 people in a household and share 1 bathroom. It’s making me crazy!! Seriously, how do people do it? Growing up we always had at least 2.5 bathrooms in our home…sometimes more. OK, I was/am spoiled. What can I say… I need my bathroom!! :-(

Hey, I know it’ll happen and the guys are doing the labor for free, so I’m content with it all. [on the outside] ;-) Thank God for medication!!

Speaking of medication… still waiting on the Ampyra. Fucking insurance, as usual, does not want to pay for it. Bet if one of their loved ones needed it, they’d cover it. ASSHOLES!! I will get it, just hoping by the time I do it might still be able to help me…

Ah, this is life!

Blessings and Hope!

Weird day…

By Tracy

Ever have those days where you feel like your living it in another body? And, not in a bad way.

Ruby and I did our show on blog talk radio today, The Padded Room. It was a great time with our guest Linni. Today was part one, and next Thursday we will be doing part 2 with Linni. She has overcome addiction, abuse, and now faces a new chapter in her life, Diabetes. You can hear the archives of today’s show here.

After the show, I did my pedaler, watched a couple more Criminal Minds I had DVR’d, and then got in the shower.

I was planning on hanging out and playing Nintendo with dd#3, then an iCal alarm on my MAC went off. It was time for Amy Harden’s Show, Postcards from OZ, on the rlrn blog talk radio. I got in the chat room and Amy mentioned she was on her own today, no co-host. I told her if she needed me, I’d log in and co-host. It was not something I had planned on doing, but I’m so glad I did. The topic was:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Keeping a Positive Mindset through Holistic Living with Sandy Guerriere.

It was a great show, and Sandy and me have a lot of the same mindset when it comes to foods and what we put in our bodies in regards to our health. If you get a chance, listen to the archives here. We all had a great time. Thanks to Amy for letting me co-host.

It was all so surreal though. It was like it was me doing all of this today, but yet it was not. Not sure that makes much sense to anyone but me. lol

We just had tostadas for dinner, hubby made, and then I got back on the computer and it was an all freaky feeling kind of happening. lol Kind of like an out-of-body thing. But, again, not in a bad way. Kind of a cool feeling really. Maybe it is a feeling of accomplishment or something. I felt pretty useful today, which does not happen often. So, maybe that’s it…I don’t know, but there you have it!!

Now dd#3 and I will be watching some new DVR’d Criminal Minds, with our men Derek Morgan [Shemar Moore] and Dr. Spencer Reid [Matthew Gray Gubler]!!

YUMMY x2

Blessings and Hope!!
