Coming to you from the Celebrity Suite of the Wyndemere Condominiums at Turtle Creek. Today is Saturday, August 26 and it his going to be 104 degrees today - but I am hearing that a cool down into the 90’s is on the way.

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Saturday and Happy Weekend. I cannot believe the weekend is finally here.

Most of my friends have left town for a softball tournament and will be gone through next weekend. However, I still have a few in town to help me out this week. My friend, Carol Margo Stanners, is picking up me in a bit to run a few errands and pick up some prescriptions. She would only do it if I let her clean out my fridge after. WTH? Fine - you go girl. LOL. I’m going to need to prop up my feet. They are swelling (both of them) and it’s pissing me off. Maybe I need valves in both legs repaired.  

This week is full off appointments as well: Botox (in my legs) on Monday, appointment with my GP on Tuesday, appointment with my neurologist on Wednesday (my Best Gal Pal ( Sallie Ann Plaxico ) is going with me to this one. I need somebody to take notes to take notes at this appointment), PLEX on Thursday, Boardroom and mani/pedi on Friday, and on Saturday, I shall rest. Mom and Dad will be here the following Tuesday.

It’s going to be September next week. How did that happen? Where did August go?

Also - this week I have had so many random thoughts go threw my mind like - I need a new Will. Has anyone ever used an online or digital program to create a new will? I am taking suggestions and making requests. I need to make a some changes to my current one, for instance, Oprah is OUT! We don’t talk anymore. She knows what she did! (Kidding)

Also, if I get cremated, and I do not get a marker, how will anyone know I was here or who I was?

It wasn’t all ‘death and dying’ random thoughts - that’s just what comes to mind right now.

Personally, I blame the steroids. I am taking a larger dose than I thought I was (I actually read the bottle yesterday). I never really look at the dose because I trust my neurologist implicitly.

Luckily, I have had only one MAJOR mood swing. Mostly, it’s just been little frustrations that come and go quickly…and the use of a few ‘colorful metaphors’ here and there, but saying those is more cathartic.  

In other news:

Wheelchair Status -My new wheelchair is scheduled to arrive at my casa on 10/4. One more month in my current deathtrap.

SSA Case Status - Up from 19% to 22% Complete
Supplemental SSA - Up from 9% to 13% Complete

Kankle News - discussed earlier - but I have two kankles.

Podcast - I may have a test today or tomorrow - just to get a feel of how the recording may go. Still working on weekly topics and lining up guests for Season 1.
Anyhoozle, that’s all I have for today. I hope you all have a GREAT day!

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
