Not too much to update. Made lunch, took a nap, went to my art guild's meeting. That's about it in a nutshell. (yep, I'm the nut too. :D )

Hoping I get some rest tonight and not have another episode of not sleeping.

~~~~~~

Barb, glad you had fun. Totally understand the sensory overload when it comes to big malls. :hug: Enjoy your week off. :)

Hi Everybody! :)

I've been trying to keep up with you all but things are getting hectic with the holidays. I hope everybody is doing reasonably well as Thanksgiving gets closer.

I'm making two pies and a cheesecake for the dinner we're going to. Our sons will ride with us since it's out of town.

I started taking cranberry capsules again, and hopefully I'll ward off another UTI. I see the neuro on Wednesday when I get my infusion. He should go over my MRI results then too. I'm taking the Provigil every day now since the days I don't take it I'm just dead meat. :rolleyes:

I gave DH a haircut tonight so he'll be presentable for the dinner. I've been complaining to him about his not doing housework and me doing it on my days off. I think I'm making some progress, we'll see anyway. :cool: I told him I was thinking about hiring a housekeeper and that got his attention. I have an idea to work out a system to keep the house clean and get his help too. If it didn't totally wipe me out for the day to clean two rooms it wouldn't be a big deal. I work four days a week. One day off is just for vegging (so I can keep working.) One day is for housework and the other is for miscellaneous stuff, laundry, exercise, etc... I don't have any time for hobbies like he does. Though I do spend a lot of time online at night. <sigh> He does cook dinner five nights a week and runs the dishwasher every night. He buys most of the groceries too, but that's it. I need to work with him some more, lol. Sorry for the whine though. :rolleyes:

Part of this is that I'd like to have Christmas dinner at our house but I can't if I have to clean the house and cook.

Anyway, everyone have a nice holiday and it makes me feel homey to read your posts each day... (((((Big hugs to each of you.))))) :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Tam,
So sorry that the home care didn't work out...makes me mad when I see carelessness and inefficiency like that...take care of yourself, too:hug:

Wiz,
So sorry to hear you're not your energetic self lately...mentioning paying for a house cleaning always seems to get more cooperation from fam, doesn't it?:rolleyes:

It might be a good idea to have a person come in and do a hard-cleaning job--the heavy stuff that doesn't usually get done and ends up making the house smell dusty and musty...and might not cost much...why don't you look into it? Take care of yourself...:hug:

I seem to be sleeping a bit longer...whooo-hooo made it to 3 am tonight. I am so out of sorts on this pred!! I hate feeling like my cells are going to explode...I distinctly remember this from last time...can't wait until my 15 days are up.

A person from Copaxone's support system called yesterday to check up on what I'll need, sending me my injector and case, gave me phone numbers and web site info, and discussed support within the group...really nice...not as scared starting on this journey.

Funny, he asked, "when were you diagnosed with MS"...had to stop, thought to myself, 'I'm diagnosed with MS?' Still hasn't sunk in, I guess...

Good Morning! It's very sunny here but chilly. It rained all day yesterday but we need it.

Wiz.....I hope you can get DH to help out more. If my DH had made dinner five nights a week and went grocery shopping I'd have been checking his driver's license to make sure he was really my DH!! He'd avoid the grocery store like the plague! He'd cook on the grill but that was about it. I hope you get your wish to have Christmas at your house this year! :)

Tamiloo.....be careful. Don't hurt your back again. I'd call the BBB about that agency. That's just not acceptable service IMHO.

DebbieD....I hope you get to feeling better. That's the reason I quit taking the steroids....they made me feel worse than I already did. :rolleyes:

Sandy & Jim....I hope your meeting with the contractor went well and that he can do what you want him to. Keep us posted!

Weave....good luck tomorrow on your interview. I'm sure they'll love you.

Sox....when will your boys be back? I'm glad they got to spend some time with their Dad's family. Hopefully they'll take lots of pics while in Puerto Rico!

Fin...did you sleep any better last night? Hope so!! :)

Everyone else....Trish, Vonn, B2Y, DM & AMN wherever you are, Frank & Deb, Tara, Holly, Sarah, Barb, Char, Kay, Twink, Momma, and Renee....have a really good day! :grouphug:

~~~~~~~~~

Tami, please be careful. I agree with reporting that agency.

Debbie D, LOL. I knew I forgot something to tell ya. The first couple of months I told SS about being probable. They didn't act surprised since more and more neuros are being proactive.

Wiz, totally understand needing to get family on board. Even my hubby has started to help a little more here and there, which has been great. Hope the holidays go well for ya. :hug:

Sox, Those pies sound yummy! :Starvin:
