about time

Welp, it's been a while.  No excuse, probably sheer laziness.  Been off Copaxone, then on Rebiff, now back to Copaxone. Hmmmm.  The good thing is that either way I am still living with MS. or wait, is that the bad thing.  
Started back to school so I can turn my RN into a BSN then eventually a MSN.  Since I can't really work the floor anymore I will subcumb to that old addage "those who can't do, teach".  I don't know if it's a good plan or not, but it's worth a try.  
I started a research study, felt like being a guinea pig for a while.  Still having to take copaxone but now with an added pill (placebo or not).  It's a blinded study so I don't know if I am actually getting the study medication or not.  I get a cognitive exam every 3 months or so.  I am hoping to not have a decline in intelligence, but if you notice misspellings don't assume it's just a mistake :)
Every day I decide that tomorrow is going to be a new day and a new start.  My diet is going to be better.  My walking is going to be better.  My energy is going to be whoop whoop.  And every night I think about how I blew it for that day.  But the good thing is there is always tomorrow.
