Car went for it’s service this morning. Collection time was between 8am and noon. Got up and ready just in case. 7.53am ffs! Hope they weren’t expecting sociable too!

I hope all is safe now.

I’ve lived in a few different walks of life, there’s no getting away from it.
My neighbour was red keyed a couple of years ago. The noise was horrendous and took them at least 5 minutes to gain access. Made it pointless. One quick flush, evidence gone.

Disposing of a vinyl MDF wrapped bath panel at the local centre. They charge for DIY waste. With a permit I can visit with one item a week for free. Went through the hassle online and at the entrance.
Asked where exactly to dump it. Told in general waste. What’s the point……

When you realise it’s only Tuesday……..

Husband used to refer to his large record collection as his pension. No idea if they’re worth much. Hi-fi broke and not replaced. If I lived alone, I don’t think I’d bother with a Christmas tree.

Mine died a couple of days before our youngest 16th. He inherited all of his dad’s football shirts. The eldest has his many records. This was over a decade ago. I’m more than happy to have a minimalist approach, but during COVID and the boys having disposable income, they went online shopping.

I’m mid 50’s too but have 2 adult sons at home, dead husband. I have mine and their random shit too. I frequently purge but they get upset lol

My family have no other MS history. Just most other conditions!

It appears my MS isn’t typical. I’ve not relapsed for many years but the first few caused permanent damage. I don’t meet the criteria for DMD’s. I just slowly decline.
All power to you for the next 40 years!

Yes, he was. Still am with a stick. Obviously everything is harder but I manage.

I totally agree. 35 years ago, all I had was a booklet from the MS society to refer to. My consultant just said I’d still be walking in 10 years. No Dr Google back then, a blessing really.

I’ve wondered if early or late onset is better. Early, you grow with it and the limitations. Later, had a life but resent the changes.

Admin have a lot to answer for. They’re not protecting the younger ones but leading them away from reality.

What difference does it make. Some of these groups are akin to toddler groups, couldn’t stand those either.

Keith, the spider evaded capture last night upstairs but ended up in the laundry trug in the kitchen. Rehomed outside! Adult son was no help and screamed, running up the stairs.

Stuck in Sainsbury’s click and collect, behind the worlds slowest packer!!!

Sneezing fit whilst drinking tea. Tea sloshed down me. Yet more laundry!

I’m not on any DMD’s, so not immunocompromised. See what happens on the day.

I’m in the UK. The criteria is concentrating on immunocompromised people or of a certain age. I’m neither. But on a deeper dive, I could be. I found another document listing MS. Just hope the pharmacist accepts this.

Discovered I’m no longer eligible for the Covid vaccine, even though I have MS and asthma. Going to be a fun winter…….

3 in the household received the test emergency alert. One son received it twice. Told him they knew him well, he rarely listens the first time lol

With hindsight, I could go back 5 years prior to diagnosis. As your one was incidental, it may not be that much of a stretch.

Neighbour is away without their car. Last night their car alarm was persistently going off. Hopefully the battery is flat!
No reason for it though externally.

Hard physio session completed. Legs went to jelly! Laid on my stomach and the physio was lapping the leg I needed to move. Great idea but I can’t feel it!!

Just watching 911 with the background music of Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train. News flash on my phone to say he’s passed way! Freaky. #RIPOzzyOsbourne

Saw neuro consultant today. I think the message got back to him that he was being a dick last year. MRI showed no changes.

Attended an MS exercise class then straight to physio this morning. Quick nap this afternoon but still knackered and in so much pain. They’re sadists!

Way too hot to function! So much to do!
