A day that will live in infamy...

At Lake Powell

So I added a picture to the blog - call me a narcissist. It certainly isn't vanity - probably a need to stop hiding from the world!
Winter isn't even here and it is already cold! You know it's cold when I am complaining! I usually don't feel the cold, but I have had a cold and a sinus infection, so I am not moving around much and haven't done anything to warm up! I thought a few days ago that I was so weak that I would never be able to function again...but I feel stronger today, and hope this upward trend continues for awhile!
I am broke, but worrying about it won't do any good - here is my Scarlett O'Hara imitation: I'll think about it tomorrow! I need two more Christmas presents and don't know how I will do it, but I will find a way.
I need to finish this damn Thesis.

Fall-ing Again...

This is the time of year when I inevitably begin to mourn that I didn't get to enjoy Summer like I used to before I had MS. I grew up and still live on the shores of Lake Powell, but now being outside in the Summer makes me hurt. I used to hike and swim and play at the Lake, but now I look at pictures of it on the Internet. I dread the cold months coming up, except that I feel better physically in the Winter, but I am still mostly stuck inside the house with nowhere to go and nothing to do.
Who knew that writing my Master's Thesis would be so difficult? I used to be able to spit papers out in nothing flat. Now I am having trouble writing a single word. I hate my subject and I am beginning to hate Richard III. Mostly I have a healthy sense of self-loathing going on because I can't seem to get it done.
