This blog started as a way for me to vent about my disease, ease the stresses of middle age and give me some therapeutic time to use my brain since I'm not working this year. And even though it is still all of those things, it has become much more. I'm actually making people smile at times. Thanks for reading!

Magic fingers.
Today I felt like crap all day. Don't know why...nothing specific...I just felt awful. I even took a 2 hour nap this afternoon. It's nice to wake up and hear John in the other room. He's got several days off of school like everyone else in the country from the Snowmaggedon that happened yesterday. (Thanks, Drew, for the term!) It's comforting to me to hear him in another room. I like the security of waking up and him laying next to me when I'm having a rough night. My brain feels clogged- my synapses aren't firing the way they should. If and when I ever become wealthy, I'm hiring a masseuse to give me a massage 3 times a day! Once when I wake up, at noon and then again before bed! Can you imagine...I would feel, think, and sleep soooooooo much better...we all would! I've never had a professional massage, but when I was really tense at school, while my choir kiddos were massaging and stretching before vocal warm-ups, I'd always have 2 of my students help me out...one on each shoulder...using both hands...just to try and relax a little...they always said the same thing...."Mrs. Devos....you are SO tense!!!" Yeah...I know...nothings changed either. In college, I remember Leonard Gladden having great massage fingers...very strong hands from playing piano...we'd all sit up on the mezzanine between classes-doing our last minute homework for Music Theory or Counterpoint or Form and Analysis...and Leonard would be right there! GREAT massages!!! John used to give good massages...but that was just a trick to get me to marry him...cuz after we got married they just stopped...imagine that! The point is...I need a massage and I need it right now. If I could give a gift to all of my friends...it would be a daily massage for the rest of their lives! Oh yeah...and a lifetime supply of Crown Royal to go with it :)
