Where is the time going?

It is almost Fall!  The start of craft shows, warm apple cider, fires in the fireplace, cooler nights, and beautiful days.  Before you know it, it will the holidays.

We have had a busy summer this year.  We spent a good portion of July in California and in August, we had Gabe and Sophia, our grandchildren, stay with us for a few days.  Tony and Abby were finally able to see our house in South Carolina and that was very special.  We don't get a chance to see any of the family much, so this visit was wonderful.

We continue to change things around the house.  Right now, a bookcase is being built for either my craft room or maybe the office.  We are not sure where it should go.  The craft room is looking pretty good as we had put up a shelf above my work table, that holds baskets right now but it looks great.  It has given the room a more finished look.  It is still a work in process.

I will have a girlfriend from High School visiting this weekend, September 15-18.  We have stayed in touch all these years, since 1971.  I have a few other friends that I also stay in touch with from High School but Cathy will be the first one to visit.

I have to come up with ideas for sightseeing.  She likes history and there is definitely history around here.  We only have a couple of days to visit so we need to plan the best sites in a short amount of time.  I guess it is time to let my fingers to do the walking on the Internet.

I did get good news about my eyes.  They are both doing just fine.  The specialist said he saw a couple of small spots that looked to be swelling but it was not anything for him to worry about right now.  I am to have my ophthalmologist keep an eye on them, which I see every three months.

I also had two MRI's done, one last week for my brain, and this week for the neck and spine.  I will see  my neurologist in a couple of weeks to get the results.  I am still on the oral drug called Gilenya.  This may change once I see the doctor.  I have had issues with walking and stumbling but I haven't fallen, which is a very good thing.

We keep looking at trips or cruises but we haven't decided on anything.  My issue is the walking of places.  I would like to see so many different things but I have to either not see them or to figure out a way to do so.  So far, the figuring out has not been very successful.  It is so very hard to not be able to do things without a second thought.  I have to plan for my energy and the length of time of walking.  I have to make sure I am not in really hot heat for a long time without getting my body core back down to better temperature.  If not, I won't be able to function for very long.  You would think that the cold would be better for me, but if the cold is too cold, my legs won't function either.  Can't win either way!

We are doing well in South Carolina.  We have really gotten into the slower pace.  We don't seem to worry about things as much as we did in California.  Going out on the boat is so relaxing.  We go about 4 mph. and that is all the way in speed.  It is OK, as we have nothing else to worry about right now.
