Major Writers Block - Been keeping the MS on the Down Low???


UGH! I have had the worst writers block for like this past for ever! The problem with writers block is the less you write the harder it is to write anything longer then a paragraph. The longer you go without writing the harder it is to resume writing! So by not writing I am making it harder and harder on myself to actually write! I think you get the idea, simple concept haha! Anyways, sorry... I used to be so good about writing every day! I don't know what happened! I know part of it was not feeling good and then being tired, and then school, and then I have been going out lately, and even though that all ultimately made me feel better I think it pulled me away from writing long enough that it made it really hard to get back into the motion of it all. Got to start of light again, just like exercising!

Feeling Better but No Appetite, Attitude Power!

Well I don't know what did the trick but I have been taking my vitamins, taking my happy pills, getting out more with some friends, moving around more, etc, etc and now I am feeling much better. I have been sleeping  a BIT better, I am not waking up all achy, I have not been as depressed, and I don't feel as fatigued. I still feel  kind of irritable but not as bad... So I am trying to keep this phase going as long as possible so I can focus more energy on getting my wedding photography off the ground because I am ready to start supporting myself again! SO SICK of being broke!

Got outside today! So far HEAT has not effected me...

Well got outside today that's for sure! Took a drive up an old access road to Idylwild with my friend Phill in his old Jeep. It was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom of the mountain and not too much cooler at the top (technically speaking) but it felt like day and night. Between the wind and the Forrest trees it was nice and cool up there! Surprisingly despite the heat I am not blind! Well not yet...

Help Me Get Rid Of All These Shirts!

Haha so, at first it seemed like lots of people were interested in a simple MS IS BS T-Shirt but I did not get the response I was expecting, AT ALL. SO, I cut the price in half and now I am just trying to make SOME of my money back because there are much more important things I need to pay off haha, being broke is not fun :(

Foot Issue not MS Related After All!

multiple sclerosis pain numbness ms

So I finally got into the doctors yesterday, the bump on my foot was just killing me! Since I had nothing better to do I figured I would finally knock it out of the way. Went to urgent care and was in and out pretty quick or maybe it just seamed that way because I dedicated my entire day yesterday to finishing a novel I have slowly been reading for the last two months. Spent hours and hours trying to finish it and I did. Anyways the doctor came in, she looked at my foot, and instantly was like "this is a planter wart". Haha wow, I can't believe I didn't recognize what it was! I had warts on my hands growing up in hi school and I had them bad so I should have known!
