I SWEAR IM NOT DRUNK that's my MS making me swerve. I'm writing a book to prove it. Production coordinator for Pavonis Interactive. Voice Coordinator for Terra Invicta. PhD in media studies. Voracious consumer of popular culture.
Went to an event last night and gathered more evidence that my body turns off at about 5pm. My brain stayed alive, surprisingly, but my body kept threatening collapse. I am now strictly a daylight-based human.

Because of my #ms, I drop and break things. A lot. It's honestly, probably more than anything else, made me lose my attachment to the idea of accumulating things. You break enough stuff, you stop caring. It's just stuff.

Do most people give their #dogs voices? Every dog I've ever had has had a unique "voice" that we give them, where we comment on household goings-on with what we'd imagine they'd say. Endless comedy ensues.

The teenager is brilliant, well rounded, and independent. She works, saves money, cooks, does laundry, shops, does great in school, gets around town on her own, etc.
It occurred to me today that if she had to send something snail mail, she might not know how.
Have I failed as a parent?

In times of stress (stress over medical stuff especially destroys me), I let my brain slip into bad habits, like playing too many games and doing less reading and writing and work. Today, I'm going to try to force it back into productivity.

My mother, who lives with us, is having a giant #Broncos party tomorrow for all of her million friends.
There is only one course of action for me: To remove all evidence of my family's existence from the main floor (done) and hide upstairs until Monday.
I'm already on it.

I'm trying to learn #chess for the first time in my life. I am very, very bad at it. Can I blame my sucking at it on cognitive decline due to my medical disorders or no?

Woke up yesterday and it was like my back was healed. Back to my life! But the X-ray showed evidence of a FOURTH #autoimmune disorder, with a name so long I can't remember it. What do I get when I hit five? Feels like a special number.

Leg weakness from #MS causes screaming back pain. Turns out the cure to my back pain is to do nothing for days. Failing to do near-daily elliptical, PT/physio, and pilates makes my MS worse. Such is the cycle of #autoimmune hell.

I'm laid up with horrible, stabbing back pain every time I move because my left leg weakness from #MS taxes weird muscles. I need a live-in PT/physio or for the teenager to change her career plans.

I added another #Denver metro emergency department to my list today. One day I'll publish my rankings. This one (U of Colorado hospital) just took the number 1 spot.

Pure conjecture, but likely accurate: In LA, at this moment, 15% of the adult population is working on a screenplay about the latest Louvre heist.

Gorgeous, crisp, sunny fall day to be at the lake at City Park. We had no idea it was the day of the breast cancer walk, so it's a very fun, very pink vibe out here today. #Denver

Some years, we don't really get a #fall season. It goes directly from summer to winter. This year, we're getting a real fall and it's glorious. Cool and crisp, but sunny. Gorgeous leaves. Every morning is like taking a bite of the perfect apple.

Because my left leg is weaker, my back gets screwed up all the time. I have physical therapy exercises to keep it from happening, but it keeps happening. My PT finally told me that there's really nothing I can do, and I was weirdly relieved.

On the second episode of #TheGirlfriend and I'm not yet convinced. It feels uneven to me. It might be me, though, since it's harder for me to get into these shows ( #WhiteLotus is another) where everyone is terrible.

When I tell my neurologist I fell, he asks if it was an "MS fall."
I'm trying to figure out if it qualifies as an #MS fall if I crashed hard after slipping on an ice cube on the living room floor. (Why it was there is an unsolved mystery.)

My mother agrees to babysit the 3-year-old of the singer of a blues band she used to represent. I tell her I don't feel well and will be staying upstairs and not helping. Next thing I know I'm crawling around on the floor pretending to be a cat. You cannot say no to a child.

In the middle of the night I went to turn off the ceiling fan and accidentally hit the button for the light. "You just turned on the sun!" said the husband. If I can actually do that, I need to be more careful with my power.
