Still Here

September was my last entry! :head_hurts: My memory that I even had this blog was jarred by an email from the organization! I've often wondered if my memory loss can ALL be attributed to the stroke. There's the approaching menopause thing, and just being in my 40's. ???? I'm approaching my 11th stroke anniversary, and aside from volunteering here, and a brief run at my former employer, I haven't done squat. What to do though... Susan

Better Today

My husband and a friend of his are doing some electrical work in the kitchen, so I'm doing this. I'm in a much better frame of mindhan I was yesterday. My mother tells me that I have too much free time on my hands; causes me to think too much. (She could be correct; I think my hormones arehelping to create havoc too!) It never ceases to amaze me when I learn of someone in the public eye having a stroke. I'm not sure why that is. I was using the computer late yesterday afternoon, (Which

Wednesday

It's Wednesday afternoon and my new kitchen cabinets were supposed to be in today. No dice; "Maybe tomorrow." (Here's hoping, eh?) No new appliances; the ones we have now are only about four years old. (Except for the dishwasher; that's probably around 10.) Afternoon's are the toughest for me. With my husband working 3rd. he's asleep, and I am just too *$@@## tired to do much of anything! I have some books with large print that I enjoy reading,and I can make it a whole three or four pag

Morning Depth Perception Nightmare

Did you ever have one of those mornings when NOTHING goes right? I got up around 2am, (My husband works 3rd shift, and these hours work for us.) this morning I have missed my coffee cup, spilling coffee all over the counter; missed getting stuff in the garbage, (Even when I thought I was right over it!) thinking I put - whatever - away on shelves, only to have it come crashing down because I either missed the shelves completely, or I got the item part of the way on. Thank God for humor! I

Early, (Very early!) Sunday morning.

I did this yesterday morning and lost it! (Frustrating to say the least!) I went to get a smiley, and BAM - no more blog. :ranting: I think the combination of having a stroke and being perimenopausal have done a number on my internal thermostat. Heat and humidity are what I have a difficult time with :cheer: for air conditioning and fans!! I can't wait for autumn and winter. (It's really pretty around here at that time too!) I live on a dirt road, out in the middle of nowhere, i

Starting Today

This is all very new to me; I've never done this before. No journeling, diaries - nothing. I tend to look at doing this as a way to let out any feelings I might have...(Might?) : on having the stroke, and having my world turned completely around at age 36. Younger than a lot of survivors, and older than some. It's all relevent, isn't it? What's reality for one person means just as much as the reality of another. REGARDLESS of what that reality is!! (My own feeling, but hey. that's what t
