Good Day, Possums, from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas and Happy Monday.  We are kicking off another work week.


When last we chatted, I was about to step on a ROCKSTAR TOUR BUS and head to Austin for the night for a friend’s birthday.  Let me tell you - IT WAS AWESOME and just what I needed - to get out of town (even if only for 24 hours).  I needed that.  We played music and laughed and talked (and had a few adult beverages) - and couldn’t have been with a better group of people.


While I had my own hotel room, I gotta say, these men and women really look out for me - particularly getting on and off the bus, but in all parts of my life.  It’s been a bit chilly so my legs were not very bendy.  God truly blessed me when he put these people in my life.


We stopped at Buckee’s on the way down and decided to have a white elephant exchange - we had 15 or 20 minutes - you couldn’t spend more than $10 - so we each went in and bought a gift, got back on our way to Austin, wrapped up our gifts and drew names.  It was a lot of fun and I ended up with a coffee cup that says BOUGEE!





Yesterday was kind of a thrown away day.  We got back around 2pm and then I just chilled for the rest of the day - in preparation for what awaited me today.


All in all, great job, Shannon Brown and thanks for inviting me on the trip.


They say bad things happen in threes - and it is Monday.  They aren’t really three BAD things (I think);  just aggravating things that slightly piss me off.


#1 - My internet went out - and route/moden - I know, First World Problem, but I need it for work.  It has since been repaired.


#2 - My personal assistant was supposed to start today.  The agency called this morning.  This individual that was selected for me quit over the weekend.  But hold on - in a way this might be a blessing.  There are some things I need renegotiate and get written in stone by this agency.  I have a call with them tomorrow at 10am.


…and last but not least


#3 - I opened met MRI results and it showed that I now have active lesions on my t-spine.  The T-Spine supports your chest and abdomen: Your thoracic spine helps stabilize your rib cage, and your rib cage, in turn, helps stabilize your thoracic spine. Together, your thoracic spine and ribcage protect your heart and lungs.


Awaiting a call from my neurologist to see what we do now!  Stay tuned…

  

I want to THANK EVERYONE who has donated to my MSWALK fundraiser.  In just six days, $3931 has been raised - nearly 40%of my goal.  


Anyone want to take me over the $4000 mark?


If you would like to make a donation / contribution and sponsor me as well as contribute to ending MS for good), there are 21 days remaining until the MSWalk. 


I hope I can count on your support again this year to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and sponsor me in the WalkMS.  Click the link provided below to make your online donation.  If your company matches, please indicate that as well.


If you are uncomfortable donating online and would like to send a check, please text me or send me a note through Facebook Messenger and I will send you my mailing address.


Once again, thank you for your support.  Let’s eradicate Multiple Sclerosis, if not for any other reason than it just sucks.  I kicked the fundraising off with a $500 donation.  Gotta walk that walk and talk that talk.

Anyhoozle, what are your plans today? 


Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  


To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight. And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You!   Your support means everything.


Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.  -AJ
