And I do it all the time! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ I really should take notes, but I would forget where I put them!

So finally the snow is gone? I hope? 😐 And spring is here!!! And so is the yard work!! I don't really care for it, but I love my weed eater!πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ I'm pretty sure I'm going to mow my lawn with it this yr!πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜

I'm also trying to fix this little garden area at the front of the place. Who's brilliant idea was this anyway?🀣😭🀣

MS is always a rollercoaster! We all know it!

Do you take advantage of your good days? Do you overdo it? Or have you learned to pace and not push it? How do you tell? What are your secrets? Share!!!

I still overdo it on a good day. Who knows when the next one is coming.πŸ˜‚ Good luck with the yard work. I’ll be (hopefully) planting flowers and veggies outside in the next few weeks. I’ve been taking the indoor plants outside to repot and add soil to recently and then returning them indoors. It’s easier to clean up the mess outside.

How do I know? When legs start trembling it's time to find a seat, quick! Or when back refuses to hold me upright. This is where the walker's seat sure comes in handy. Rest a bit and then continue. Overdid this weekend and ended in a fall, luckily no damage done. One of my better falls!

Enjoy your weed eater!

Ok now see starlight5 you need to know your limits! Stop before you even ever get to that point! What ever it was will wait! Consider what you have already done as a job well done! And Stop! It's a matter of changing your thinking!πŸ™ƒ I am sooo glad you were not hurt!πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

thanks! you are right.

I enjoyed cutting the grass and using weed eater but I don't attempt yard work anymore. Good for you to still get out there and do those things!

Wow you hit my symptoms dead on. When my legs get weak my back start bending I better find a seat in a hurry. Rest a few minutes and on start all over again. I was cleaning my truck this morning and waited to long and had to sit in the grass.”

I definitely push myself because I am afraid if I do not get it done while I feel able to, then I won’t get it done for a while.

So glad spring is here except for the pollen. It has been so bad here the past week. We had to take a two hr drive to one of my dr appts & we started out with just a little pollen on the car. By the time we got to the Dr's office the pollen had actually built up as it hit the car. To think we breathe that stuff! YES is my answer to your first 3 questions. πŸ˜€ I can tell it's to stop when I start getting tired or feel hot. If I get overheated I know I went too far. Ocrevus has helped with the heat but I get weak, dizzy, & can't think more than I normally can't think. I take my time & go slower now, I can actually last longer that way. Take mini-breaks & drink lots of water. If you will listen your body will tell you when it's time to stop.

I made a rock garden with a few succulents that need no attention. The river rocks can get somewhat expensive but i just get a few at a time. The garden is gorgeous and i dont have to ten to it too much. It’s great

Hi ya Jes. You’re right on about the notes it happens to me all the time. Plus with my handwriting I can’t read them when I find them.

Snow. It’s 86 with bright sunshine today. We’re almost thru the pollen season. I’ve already cut my lawn twice and it needs it again. I bought me a new weed eater a battery powered and I love it. It’s so light you can almost cut .with one hand. Got it at Home Depot. Weed eater and a blower for $119.

Cv Oh I over do it everyday I think and sometimes more than once.😁😝 .

You got it. They do go thru some string that’s for sure. I’m only about 5 mins fromo foo Home Depot so I went there and got got some then ordered more on Amazon.πŸ˜˜πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ‘. You missed it with the blower. I pushed my gas blower in the corner it’s so good.πŸ˜‹. I just wish the batteries weren’t so expensive. Haha .
