Have a run but first have a walk....

Sometimes I make my own self proud. I was more shocked than anything this morning.  Shocked that I didn't chicken out and stunned that I didn't forget.  That seems to be my thing these days!!

So for starters.. I registered myself in the Peachtree Road Race lottery this morning. GO ME!  GO ME! GO ME!   This is really cool to me. I'm hoping I'm one of the sixty thousand people randomly chosen. I'm worried only because:

• I've no times to give them from other runs/walks. It didn't say this was a problem, it just helped determine your wave.
• I didn't donate anything

Registration runs until the 22nd of March and notification emails will be sent out on the 26th.  I hope I'm chosen. I think a few of my lady friends are going to  sign up as well. I hope we all make it! And I hope we all make the same wave ::fingers crossed:: !!!

In other related news... My lady friend and  I have started a team for the walk for ms.  It's all exciting news this lovely spring days we're having!   I'm loving it.  The warm weather. It's making life so much happier for me, lolz.  Funny how weather can do that huh?

So in this news, yerp, we've signed up as a team and are recruiting a few folks.  Trying to fundraiser about 250 bucks for this one. So if any of you dear Dingleberries are interested in donating anything, please feel free. It's for MS and as most of you already know, my Mom also suffers with MS. It's in remission right now and we've other battles to work through, but it does affect many many people. GO ahead, donate a little, donate a lot. We'll take what we can get. Get active, sign up for a walk.  It's going to be AWESOME!!!

Have an awesome day Dingleberries, hang in there!

Didn't think that would ever hit home

In the late 90’s, early Millennium Mom came across new health problems.  The early days I do not remember as I was going through my first rebellion. Mom believed she had a stroke.  Her feeling faded and she was having problems with one side of her body.  We had no idea what was happening. She went to Dr appointments and finally, Mom was diagnosed with MS.   We cried and cried.  She now takes a shot every single week, on Sundays, Sunday being her chosen day so that her whole weekend isn’t shot.  Mom feels the effects of her medicine, AVONEX within a few hours of injection. She has her regiment of Tylenol and Ibuprofen, which she takes religiously the night of her shot and the day after. Spending the rest of the time either nauseous or in bed. Mothers foot burns constantly, her legs seem to want to give under her weight most days and she speaks with a slurred speech at times.  Her vision isn't what it use to be and at times her head will hurt for days, she hasn't smelled anything in a very long time.
