Remembering 2013

   2013?  Is it really the end of 2013?

     Since junior high I've always sat around in December and gone through all of my photo albums to in a way "relive" my life and although there was hardly anyone other than me in my pictures (if I was ever in it) just seeing the pictures always put a smile on my face because "I can't" has hardly ever come out of my mouth.  Sure, I've paid the price for it but who cares, I'm still here and every picture was a memory of "I shouldn't have, but boy was that fun!" So now here I am, 2013 and all those albums, are somewhere in my parent's house in California, where, the trash probably, if my mom wasn't fast enough to take custody of them before my dad probably just through them away for taking up space :)!
    So back to 2013, um, its been cold, specially right now.  It has been annoying because it has been routine...go to sleep, wake up, watch t.v. and hope and pray that I don't have an MS attack.  I raised my precious dog Sarge, a little spoiled, but not as spoiled as I had made my last dog....don't question me, its not my fault he fit so perfectly on my hip!  But he went from being so super annoying, to scaring the neighbors (he's very protective).  He has gone from getting tall enough to drag me around the yard and leave me all bruised, to learning how to "walk me" back to the house (you should see him, he stands so proud of himself for walking his mom very carefully back to the house.)  He still sleeps in the bed with me, BECAUSE he knows mom's legs always burn and if he's cold, just cuddle with them and he'll never need the heater!

12/17/13 (the next day)

I said that all I need was 2 years, just needed to sleep for 2 years, and that is exactly what I have been doing...a whole lot of nothing, sleep, have a relapse, go to the hospital, and sleep again.  Today, in this 10 degree weather, I have decided/ realized that I'm not tired anymore!  Tomorrow, I had already planned to go back to the gym, but NOW I know I can do that 1 hour on the elliptical!  This is it, I always said 30 was going to be a good year and with over 1 month left for that day, I know, it will be the beginning of my forever.  So lets do this, go back to college, find a good job and maybe, just maybe be the first female President of this wonderful country!  (Sorry Hilary, but thank you for paving the way!)

God Bless and thank you Jesus for never leaving my side,
