[[Still A Girly Girl: You Probably Thought I'd Dropped Off The Face Of The Earth]]

You Probably Thought I'd Dropped Off The Face Of The Earth

I suppose you would all like to know that the beginning of October finds me feeling much better. My leg is still a little weak, and my arm still doesn’t want to do what I tell it to do, but I’m not using the cane anymore.

This is quite a relief to me, since my exacerbation last year left me accumulating odd-feeling symptoms for almost five months. They just seemed to keep piling up, and sometimes some of them would fade off and I’d be left with the others. People with terrible progressive MS were horrified when I told them everything I was feeling.

I wrote the preceding passages two or three days ago and neglected to post them. Now I am feeling almost 100% again.

In other good news, I have purchased a car! A light blue 1983 Toyota Celica. I am going to get it insured when I get paid on Friday, and after that will be driving it at every opportunity so I can take my driver’s test before my sister, W’s 16th birthday party next month. It’s a manual transmission, so I’ll need plenty of practice before then! Wish me luck! Any specific questions about the car can be asked in the comments section.

I think other than that there’s not much going on. My mom is talking about selling the house and moving to Seattle, to be nearer to A and the baby and to make a new start for herself since she was let go from her job about a month ago and has no immediately promising leads. We’ll see if that pans out. The same gentleman I bought the car from seems interested in purchasing the house, and really, it could end up being a huge investment opportunity to the right person. If my mom sells it for $80,000 and the seller puts another $50,000 in repairs and updates into it, it could probably re-sell for close to $200,000. Hell, even if they don’t do any work on it, they’ll probably be able to re-sell for $100,000 in a few years the way property values are going up. Again, we’ll see.

I need to finish “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” tonight before bed, so I can start on “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” tomorrow, so I’m off for now! I hope all of my faithful readers (all six of you) are doing well!

Don't forget to see what's new on my photo blog!
