Nephews, Money and My Honey


Two cool things happened today. First I got an email from my nephew who is currently serving in the Air Force. He is located in Japan and is coming for one day to Seattle. I am so happy to be able to hang out with him (it been about 4 years since seeing him).
The second thing to happen was I found $10 in a pair of jeans I have not worn in long time. I don’t like these particular jeans because I have this flat behind and the jeans just make it more noticeable. I put on the jeans because I have not washed my favorite ones so I down to the last pair. The baggy butt ones. They just happen to have $10 in them. This really rocks when that happens. Money I did not plan comes to me. Love it.
Also I shaved my legs today. A big hell yeah for those of us who know great that feels. I could not shave for four days because I was shaky from Multiple Sclerosis. So an uncontrolled shaky hand and leg while shaving is not good idea. So I had to wait until the shakiness stopped. Today was that day. Now I feel all clean and smooth again. That is the thing with having MS. I have to depend on someone else to do the things I constantly like to do for myself. It takes away your sense of independence and self. It keeps you still and immobile when you already planned your day or week. It drives you crazy thinking you can do the same thing you did the day before with even when you’re too weak. Like open jars or hand washing and you never get a day off from it. It just some days are not as bad others. The cool thing is that I learned quickly who has my back in after all. If there was any time I know for sure my guy would do anything for me is when I need to pee during an MS attack. He is the one who helps me up when I fall from walking. He never complains and never allows me to get down on myself about it. Most importantly when I am feeling better and having easy day he understands my need to get out and see the world. And what a beautiful world it is with someone willing to hang with you even while you’re not doing or looking your best.
