Happy Friday y’all! How was your week? I hope you had a great week, and you are looking forward to the weekend. Yesterday, I had to go do my pre-employment drug screen for the new job I will be starting on the 21^st. Something that I never enjoy is driving, especially on I-85 because traffic goes from a normal speed to stop, but there the road construction seems like it is NEVER going to end. The road construction has been going on for at least the past 17 years, but I cannot understand what they are doing. Hopefully it will not take another 17 years to show some improvements.

We all look forward to the weekend, but the weekends have not been the same for the past few years. There has been a lot of worry about safety because of COVID, but it appears the number for new cases has improved. I try to not set myself up for disappointment, but I am hoping the numbers will not start increasing as we move into summertime. Maybe this means people have gotten vaccinated and new variants will not happen!

What would you say if I were to ask you to describe your picture-perfect weekend? My perfect weekend would be spent at the beach. I have not been to the beach in three years, and it has always been my happy place. When I am at the beach listening to the sounds of the waves and seagulls and smelling the ocean, nothing causes me stress, and everything is perfect. The chance to hear the waves crashing down on the beach makes me feel relief and free. It is an escape from the daily stresses we all face. Three years without the beach has been sad, but hopefully, this year I will make my way back to my happy place, even if it is just for a weekend!

I mentioned in one of my posts yesterday I was trying to get things with the Gilenya Go Program taken care of. I did have all the paperwork sent to my neurologist to complete the provider section and faxed, but then of course, the Gilenya Go Program needed something additional from me which I learned about while I was doing the drug screening for the new job. When I got home, I did complete the additional step that was requested and now I am playing the “waiting game” to find out if I was approved again and they will send the medication out. Considering I will be out tomorrow, it looks like I will miss at least a few days of the medication, but hopefully, that will not cause a relapse.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope your week was great and you have a lovely, and safe weekend! I am looking forward to reading what your picture-perfect weekend would look like because I am sure it would be wonderful! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa
