I hit my forehead, trying to remember a name or a word, and he just ends up finishing what the heck I'm saying. The restless legs in the bed are annoying, but also a hoot. Sometimes they scare my cat! Oh Nadja—

I like to have a good laugh, and I usually try to do my best. #1 I like because I make efforts to state the truth and not spread negative energy or nastiness. It's the middle stuff that's hard. I like your breakdown, Lisa. It's hard to get the whole package with these agreements, but we try! Hi Weeble Girl! Thanks for stopping by and I'll check out your blog. I'm really slow at looking at new blogs in blogland, maybe because my computer overheats and I have to shut it down a few times a day. Technology.... Anyway, I appreciate the new readership.

Hi Weeble Girl!

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll check out your blog. I’m really slow at looking at new blogs in blogland, maybe because my computer overheats and I have to shut it down a few times a day. Technology….

Anyway, I appreciate the new readership.

I just found your blog through the mention in "A Short in the Cord"'s blog. I also have a blog at http://messystuffalifewithms.blogspot.com/ . I look forward to more of your posts!

I know I have outlived a crisis when I can joke about it. My husband was annoyed when I was recovering from my exacerbation because I kept telling people that I looked great for an MS patient.

"Don't take things personally." When I fail at that, then I begin to fail at #3 and then #1, in that order which certainly prevents #4. In a way, I think that focusing on #4 will keep the other three in line easily. At least, that's what works for me in moments of weakness.
