The last week has been quite good. On Tuesday, Mike and I went to the Niagara Recycling Plant with my father and he gave us a private tour. I couldn’t believe there are so many people working there. They have machinery that sorts much of the recyclables into general categories, but then human power is used for finer sorting. The rate that the conveyor belts fly by is insane – pretty neat that the folks working there are able to keep up!
The rest of the week was decent, and the weekend was quite good. On Saturday, Mike and I met up with my Army buddy from Hamilton for a day at the casino. Ken has gold card status there so he gets tickets for shows and free meals at the buffet. Yum! He brought us to see Jersey Nights, which was awesome. I have seen the live performance of Jersey Boys twice as I am a huge Frankie Valli fan. It was an awesome show. We were at the casino for much of the day and I was sure spent by the time I got home (only physically, not financially as I only gambled $10 and won $25!) I was watching My 600 Pound Life before bed that night. I had paused the show at one point and the pic on the screen was a little disturbing, because of her eyes being in mid blink. I texted the pic to Mike and then I was a tad surprised at what I replied to him:
Then I created this and sent it to him:
He replied that he was surprised there was a burger just sitting on her chin. I said that she was in the process of eating it. I sent him this to make my point more clear:
He said the arm and hand were too skinny so I sent him this:
The whole time, I couldn’t stop laughing. Man, you know you’re tired when!!!
On Sunday, I spent the day with my little mother. We did a bunch of sorting and I cleared out some stuff. Came across my ID from when I spent a few months in New Brunswick with the Army:
Sometime I forget that I used to wear glasses – thick ones too! I was so blind. I had laser eye surgery during university (waaaaaaaay back in 1999) and my vision is still better than 20/20! Actually, my corneas are still so thick that I could have the surgery another time or two if I ever needed it. My mother didn’t even know I had booked the surgery. She came up to Windsor to bring me home for Christmas and I informed her that we had to go get my eyeballs zapped that evening and I had to go back the next morning for a check-up. Hehe! Good times.
Today’s symptoms: Really drained today. My pain level has been minimal though, so that was kinda nice. To be honest, many times I find pain easier to deal with than the dreaded MS fatigue. I think if I “just” had the pain, my life would have gone in a completely different direction. I would have likely still been able to be a cop after graduating university. Bummer but that was the paw I was dealt!
