For those of you who have sponsored me for the MS Walk, thank you. Between my friends, family, coworkers, and blog readers, I have raised about $3100 for this year’s walk, putting me more than $100 over my $3000 goal. As of tonight, the night before the walk, I am the #10 individual fundraiser for… Continue reading Thank You

Jet Blue helps students take trip to NYC
It’s called doing the right thing, my friends, and once again, Jet Blue has done it. (link)
Four Season
After my earlier post, I finally fell asleep on the couch with Reggie while watching the episode of Emeril that my DVR had picked up. We got up about 11:00. Obviously, my expectations about accomplishing much today weren’t too high. After a bit, I went out to get myself a pedicure. I found a place… Continue reading Four Season
Wide Awake
It’s 5:20 AM and I’m wide awake. I’ve been wide awake since shortly after 2:00, having woken up with a fever and chills. That’s surely the result of my Rebif injection. So I got up, downed some Tylenol, some peanut butter, and vitamin water, which usually helps kill the fever. Well, the tylenol usually kills… Continue reading Wide Awake
Paint
Anybody who has been in my new place knows that the pale yellow paint color in the living room and dining room has to go. Originally, I found a beige that I thought would do in a pinch. As I started painting, I realized that it was just as bad. Since I had bought some… Continue reading Paint
Tuesday
Today was a pretty dull day. Of course, Reggie woke me up entirely way too early so we could go outside so we could eat. (he doesn’t eat until he goes potty outside) After that, we went back to bed and slept until about 10:00. I finally picked up my work laptop and logged in… Continue reading Tuesday
Wiped Out
My parents have come and gone, and I miss having them here. My dad drove to the airport and then I obviously drove home. I have to say that the return trip pretty much wiped me out and I’ve spent most of the evening on the couch, napping most of the time. I’m still in… Continue reading Wiped Out
Feeling Better
I’m starting to feel a little better. My mom has been cleaning my kitchen, and the floor sparkles. My dad fixed the bubbling countertop over the dishwasher and he installed the new showerhead. Oh, the new showerhead is amazing. I’ve been able eat a little bit. My mom made meatloaf for dinner and I ate… Continue reading Feeling Better
Recovery
I’m up and moving a little. The surgery went well, and I’m really glad that my parents are here. So far, I haven’t eaten much, just some biscuits (American biscuits) and ginger ale. Now I’m having toast with a little bit of butter, the first fat I’ve had since the surgery. Thank you for all… Continue reading Recovery
Mike is fine and recovering
This is a quick message from Paul. I just got off the phone with Mikes father, and it sounds like the operation to amputate his left leg went fine, and Mike is adjusting to the new artificial limb well – at least as far as they can tell at this early stage. Just kidding. Mike… Continue reading Mike is fine and recovering
