Who's Your Daddy?

Yay, it's FRIDAY!!!

I feel a bit of a fraud being so excited about it really because like I said yesterday, I get to work from home in my PJ's if I wish so it isn't like I have to worry about a horrible train commute or going out in the cold to get to work all week. I don't have a boss breathing over my shoulder, I am very grateful for that!

What I really love about the weekend though is that it means that we get to lay in bed and be lazy for two days in a row. There are no school runs, no reasons to get up early. Phil and I have a deal where Saturday is my turn to make coffee and bring it back to bed and Sunday is his. One Saturday he even convinced me to make a bacon sandwich with the promise that he would do it the next day. He went back on that promise so I won't be falling for that one again!

The best part is that together we watch the Maury show and goof on how outrageous some of the guests are! We actually get disappointed when he does the shows where he brings on exotic animals. I mean, if we wanted to see that then we would go to the zoo.  We want to hear "You are NOT the father".

We also crack up at the ones where the "cheater" gets busted by the "sexy decoy" in the green room and still tries to convince his partner (before I get any comments, it is usually the men that fall for a sexy decoy) that he isn't cheating.  Even after a lie detector, I mean come ON, where do they get these people?

Does it make us sick in the head that we enjoy this stuff so much? Can I blame my brain lesions? Phil doesn't have any brain lesions, he has no excuse!

As you might be able to tell already from the tone of today's blog, I have woken up feeling GREAT today. Not physically but mentally strong. This is the second day in a row of feeling positive and I am going to try to keep it going.

I will be completely honest I had a little wobble yesterday in the early evening.  I had spent most of the day with my fingers in my ears saying "la la la la I can't hear you" to my body tingles and zaps and by about six o'clock I was being worn down and really wanting a glass of wine. You see as soon as I have a glass of wine these physical feelings go away and it is such a relief but then I feel like rubbish the next day if I have too much.  As I said to a fellow MSer (also a wine lover), it seems to be a choice between going insane from the mental torture of MS symptoms or risk liver disease.  Decisions, decisions!

Anyway, I had two SMALL glasses (probably one pub measure) and that was it. I had the BEST night sleep last night too, which is the first in many months without the help of wine or sleeping tablet. I fell asleep by about 10pm and woke up to the alarm at 6.30. I mean an ACTUAL alarm, on a CLOCK. Not my body alarm that seems to want to kill me every night!

It isn't even 9am and I am up, showered and make-up on. This is the first time in weeks that I have had the energy to shower before noon.  I am meeting a lovely friend for coffee this morning (I haven't seen her since August of last year so I am very excited) and I feel like today is going to be a good day.

The ice cube is back in my brain (not literally of course, it's just how I can describe how it feels) and my left eyeball feels like it is being squeezed from behind. I am having pins and needles type tingles in my feet and I am light headed but once again I am NOT going to let it get me down.

I do think my decision to choose to be happy yesterday made a big difference to how my day panned out. I uploaded a few funny photos to my facebook and had some lovely chats with friends (oh, and got some work done too, don't want you to think I just goof around all day). I chose to be happy and the end result was that I felt happy. I made a nice spicy chili for dinner and enjoyed the company of my daughter and her boyfriend.


So for today I will leave you with a "Friday Funny". I think I will try to bring you a "funny" every Friday although I should probably warn you that I can't guarantee that my jokes and funnies won't sometimes be a little "close to the mark" but hey, that's just who I am.

So enough about me, how are YOU?
