Power 90 Day 20 - aerobics!

Celebrating!  The ol' stroke-beaten, dystonia body has made it 3 weeks as of today.  Three weeks, 6 days a week!  A week from Monday I take my second set of pictures.  That's a scary thought.  LOL  Anyway, it went great and I felt terrific afterwards.  I think a lot has to do with not only my body slowly adjusting to the new schedule, but downing vitamins.  

I'm taking:
  • multi-vitamin
  • calcium/magnesium/D-3
  • CoQ10
  • B12
  • Vitamin C with rose hips
Anyway, it's helped me go from having to take a nap afterwards, to doing what I did today:
  • Ride scooter in town to deliver AVON & pick up litter.
  • Work in mom's garden, clearing & picking green beans & tomatoes.
  • Clearing my garden.
  • Hauling debris to the compost bin.
  • Sanitizing the litterbox.
  • Hand-washing my sleeping bag.
I'm impressed!  : )

Have a great weekend everyone!  See ya Sunday when we begin week 4 with sculpting!

A little sick of the pc tonight

Let's see...ah! I've got it! How about the big event that happened last night after I turned off the pc!

Jeff was really playful and so excited that I was chasing him all over the cottage. In fact he was so excited that in a flash he jumped on top of their cat food bag, squatted and peed. So, much for my nicely mopped floor. LOL!!!! He's so rotten. LOL!!!!

Now for a short run down of this morning! :]


1. Evil tiny possum rips more stuff out of the hole his mother made in my trash can. I hate him.

2. It's still dark, I let Spotty in, pet him on the back and he turns around and bites me on my leg. Spotty is grumpy in the morning.

3. Squeeky rolls around in the gravel, not helping her hole one bit.

The afternoon?

Things went great at the neuro. I'm now taking a 150 mg of Lamictol a day. He was behind getting to patients so I didn't bother him with stroke questions. He did, however, say if I figured out why there is such a thing as chronic migraines to let him know and we'd make tons of money. LOL!!!!

He also named off a series of various types of Dystonia I have. There were so many that we'll just stick with saying I have Dystonia.

He also told me what's wrong with my eye that I can't see out of....it was a really big word. Let's just say I have an eye problem. (happy smile)

That's pretty much been my day. Check out my little 12 second clip on the left and I also posted a new AVON vid over at The Wrinkle.

Outa here for the night. Gotta big catch up day tomorrow for my stroke site. Good nite!

PS: Also! I posted a really cool short video of botox being used for spasticity at my stroke site. It's pretty cool!

PPS: Squeeky's hole in the neck is from her abscess. When she tore the scab off she was left with a big hole. Now it can finally finish the healing process. :]

A bird singing morning to ya!

Hey folksies! It's a beautiful morning. A pair of mockingbirds just flew past my study window having a good chase. :] And there just went a pair of barn swallows. Paco the taco bell dog is sniffing for a new place to pee. How can such a tiny tea cup hold so much?

Anyway! Dystonia is attacking my eyes like mad this week. I'm having a heck of a time doing anything because of the spasms and other irritation it causes that I can't describe. In other words, me lil' eyes are miserable. *sulk*

Otherwise! It's been a good week. I've accomplished a lot with Avon. I've nearly got my new web site up. I'm reading a really cool book called, The 4-Hour Workweek", and pesach is almost over and my life will be back to normal. :]

Off to grab some breakfast and give me lil' eyes a break. Have a super weekend!

PS: I discovered something really cool with Amazon! Run your cursor over the book link! Is that cool or what???!!!!
