birthdays – Multiple Sclerosis & Me

My Birthday

so my birthday plans went off without a hitch. In fact, it was a great weekend and a good time was had by everyone involved or who was there at some point. For the past 2 or 3 years, i’ve had to put my birthday plans on hold because of the weather, so this year I flew out and left the cold behind (for the most part) and celebrated for 5 days straight – it was fantastic. I am happy to report that the MS understood the need to chill out and i only had 1 mishap.

One night i literally took a nose dive into the ground. not sure how it happened…1 minute i was walking forward and the next i had “assumed the perfect pike position” (as it was later described) and was headed nose/head first to the ground. But…all was well. AC happened to be standing next to me and dove in right behind me, caught me and was able to avert any disaster. Turns out the situation was quite funny to everyone after the fact – the way it happened, the reactions of everyone around, the aftermath – it was all quite funny.

Anyhoo, so it’s back to the grind now. All good things must come to an end…time to replenish all the money spent within the last 2-3 months 🙂

geez!

I’m so tired of this cold weather and snow and ice and…but

I eh go lie, living in Atlanta is not too bad; it has its perks…5 inches of snow and the city has been shut down since Monday. Of course I can’t take advantage of this snow week because I work from home, so things are just normal for me. I havent left this house since Saturday and I can’t imagine that i will until Friday. Have to go to my infusion (WOOHOO!!!) , but will probably need to leave now to get there on time (what with all the closed interstates, accidents, people who cyah drive in rain – far less for snow)

I’m seriously thinking of celebrating my birthday in May instead of now. Accept all birthday wishes on Jan. 10th, but celebrate in warmer temperatures. This is the 2nd year in a row that Ive had to cancel plans because Mother Nature had other plans for me – but things could be worse; i certainly am not complaining…I’m just saying…

anyhoo, hope everyone out there (in the US) is safe in this awful weather and keeping warm – Stax out!
