Just got back from Champaign – hot and a little dizzy. Doctor is going to have me try a different muscle relaxant(zanaflex), but first I have to taper off the baclofen. Since I take 6 pills a day, it is going to take me three weeks to taper off. Hopefully, I will not feel a lot worse while doing the taper. Otherwise, he did not have much to say. I really wish there was a MS clinic around here.

Bought some bagels at Panera and two shirts at Kohl’s. I did not need the shirts, but they were only 7.00 each with sale and 30% off coupon. I also got a shirt at Coldwater Creek and a sweater at J. Jills that I may take back. I did not try them on in the store. Too hot! Had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Oh -- also bought 5 books at Borders.

Nap time!

Barb - My sister gave me some hand-me-downs about a year ago or so. In there was some stuff from J.Jills. I really liked them. My other sister gave me a shirt from Coldwater. I still love getting hand-me-downs. hahaha But I did like the clothes from those stores. Nice fabric and well made.

Fin & Kelly - You both conquer that and lets all know how it goes. I'm just gonna sit back and be the cheerleader. It's too hot to do much else here. Over 110 the other day.

JIM! Happy Birthday! I hope you have a fantastic day and that Sandy spoils you rotten.

Since it is so hot out and I will only paint outside or in the garage (hey, it gets messy), I started playing with watercolor pencils. Man! I love those things. I have been having so much fun with them. But, I know I have to return them to my neighbor. Yup! I know what I'm doing with that jar of change I've been saving.

Hope you all have a great day!

Sitting in my office at school -- my last syllabus is done. I guess that means classes are starting on Monday, I have always looked forward to the beginning of classes and Fall semester. This year -- I am feeling a bit guilty as I am not too excited. Getting ready to leave for pt -- still a tad bit dizzy. It should be interesting.

Stormy day here but I'm not complaining. We need the rain and a break in the hot temps.

Just doing some dusting and vacuuming this morning. WHERE does all the dust come from? I changed my air filter in the Furnace/AC. I got one of those anti-allergen filters and hope that will cut down on some of the dust. I know the cat litter box causes some of it but I've just recently changed to an all natural/organic litter so maybe that will help some.

My sister might be coming for a visit in November. I'm trying to convince her to come for Thanksgiving so we can have a mini-reunion. We can still have the reunion whether or not it's Thanksgiving but it'd be nice to be around family on the holiday.

Ya'll have a good afternoon!

Barb, sorry to hear you're not as excited this year for the semester to start.

Kelly, I've got a new duster to try out here soon. We have a tall ceiling and we've been trying to find a way to get the bunnies out of the drop fan we have. I've tried some that have that oval opening, but the blades are too big. The duster gets stuck, LOL!

Everyone,

hugsss all

nothing new my way! work/kids/sleep/some golf/ spasms/ etc... hehehe

just thought I better check in finally!! hugss to all.. happy birthday to Jim! sarah

Hi all...haven't checked in for a bit. Still at DD's house visiting. Wow...the temps feel like autumn!! It was 43 yesterday morning up at the cabin...glad we left before it got cold.
DD & I went shopping yesterday & I paid later...eg spasms hit. Oh well...

My sister is in the hospital again. Her intestines blocked up & she was in terrible pain. I haven't been able to get a call through, but her DIL is calling to keep me informed.

I'll be headed home this afternoon. Good cause I'm sick of using this Iphone to type! Miss DH too.
I'll catch up with all if you when I get home...take care...

Debbie, praying for your sis.

Sarah, glad you checked in.

Not a good morning so far. Accidentally swore at one poor lady for a major scheduling snafu at my neuro's office. I was supposed to have a close follow up, and someone scheduled me a year out. Hopefully, they will take care of it for me.

Trying to wake up, and then we'll see how the day goes.

Stay safe everyone!

Good Morning!

Debbie, praying for your sis.

Sarah, glad you check in. I was thinking about you and hoping you were doing well.

Fin, deep breath.......it'll all work out.

Another HOT day here today. I hope it rains this afternoon. We need it plus it helps cool the temps down. Come on Fall!!!! Who am I kidding......it doesn't get cool here until November.

I talked to my sister last night and she has decided not to come visit during the Thanksgiving holiday. Guess where she is going? Eastern Europe! Croatia and Slovenia! She bought some package through her travel agent. She will fly into Venice and take a boat to Croatia. On the way back home she will visit Paris for a few days before returning to Dulles Airport. Wow. She's definitely more adventurous than I am. She's traveling alone, too! I told her I at least wanted a t-shirt out of this.

Well, time for a shower and to get dressed. Not sure what I'm doing today but you can bet it will be indoors with the A/C on!

Good Morning!

I have already been to the grocery store. I wanted to beat the students. The cars, mini vans, and SUV's are pouring into town. I am just taking it easy these last few days.

Jenn, I understand your frustration. I got mad at a woman on the phone last month when I was experiencing cable problems. I hate dealing with technical issues. I did apologize, but I wish I hadn't because she made the problem worse. I ended up having to have someone come to the house. I wonder is she did that on purpose.

Kelly, Your sister definitely does sound adventurous. Is she a younger or older sister? It sounds like Eat, Pray, Love. I am sorry she won't be able to visit you over Thanksgiving.
