So all I wanted to do was hang up some icicle lights in my windows.... Easy Peasy.. ☺️

1) Wash Windows 😐. OMG when was the last time I did this? NM... Supervised by Stormy.. curtain falls down, dog's barking, cat goes running dog goes running.. with the curtain! Help me πŸ™ One window down, 6?? More to go??? Not Ok! πŸ˜”

2) got 3 more windows washed!whew!

3) Checked lights.. works great! ☺️ Yeah!

4) Step ladder.. staple gunπŸ’–πŸ’— Hang um up! Plug them in!!! Ta da!

Them *%_*'_& DON'T FLIPPEN WORK! 😭😭

5) Check to make sure I didn't staple the wire... Nope...

6) Rip them out of the *%$&"% window! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Why can't it just be easy? Why?πŸ€£πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

You should see the staple guns my husband has. He has 3 sizes for wire & they work great, no more stapling through the wires & they are all different colors! πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Ah!! I relate so well! I, too have a problem I cannot get rid of. Specifically I am often spastic and I see no reason, for my not being able to control it. Nor have I read any where about SPMS and uncontrolled boy movements. I inadvertently swipe stuff off the counter and onto the floor. If I am painting the floor or wall the paint brush seems to bend off of my hand, flipping paint of adjacent objects. And that is the way it goes with virtually everything.

I did not know SPMS was so difficult...my so called walking is a stumbling affair...but with my cane much better. I do not live where my house has floors at one level and the town itself is on the side of a hill. I cannot use my non-motorized wheel chair under these circumstances.

I guess with our economy all this may change and not necessarily for the better. Our pickle may become a water melon.

I'm so sorry about your SPMS and spasms. Alot of us can understand it! Although, I'm still at RMS, I do have the spasms in my leg and handπŸ˜” I'm looking for unbreakable cups for Christmas!🀣 I'm happy to hear that you get around better with your cane! Take each day as you can my friend... Some days will be better than others, and some days will be worse than you ever thought possible. Any kind of MS is way difficult for alot of us!! So we take the better days... And VALUE THEM MUCH MORE!

BTW love the abstract art! πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

I admire your perseverance

As I was reading your reply, I was thinking of at which point I'd have a meltdown.

I couldn't decide as there were many choices.

πŸ˜…I think at that point, I'd settle for a flashlight placed in the window.
