like when driving today i kept yammering on about how much i hate our snow blower.. and trying to figure out what i am gonna say to the shop i bought it from... its brand new and has been in for repairs more then it has been at our house.. nothing wacky or anything.. i guess you could call it thinking out loud.. or trying to work my problems out... out loud... but i just hope i am not the only one.. MS or not it makes me feel a little nuts that i do that..
Funny, I was thinking about this just last night and considering posting it here. What worries me a little is that I will somethimes say the same thing over and over to myself like I'm trying to phrase it just right. Weird.

oh, Princessa, I have to repeat and repeat, repeatedly, to obviate the senescence factor.

I have developed acronyms for my chores and tasks.

I make a WORD out of the first letters for what I have to do, during the ten or fifteen GOOD minutes I'll have standing and walking...

hence: CLAWS (Carrots, Lettuce, Alfalfa hay, Water & Salt licks) for my trip to the bunny hutch...

I view each section, and run quickly through the acronym, to ensure everybody's happy and squared away, because I *know* I won't have the strength to walk back over there, if I REMEMBER something later.

lol, B2Y... I was quietly saying CLAWS, CLAWS, as I circled the racks of cages, when I heard an "AHEM!" and discovered mi esposo looking at me from the other side!

I talk to my ducks a lot... (the chickens.... not so much, they aren't quite as clever)

they cock their heads to one side, and look up at me with very bright eyes.

and I can *almost* imagine what they're saying back to me, like, "Hey, it was MY turn for a leaf, don't you grasp the term PECKING ORDER?!?"

so, you just go right on ahead and talk to the voices in your head, I'll be over here, CREATING voices for my flocks...



*******


hey Polar, I've got one for you!
