00:00Christina Applegate sharing some of the bucket list items she's still waiting to check off.

00:08I can't even, I can't even begin to tell you.

00:11The actress, who's been battling multiple sclerosis for three years, letting fans in

00:15on the stuff she still hopes to do one day.

00:18Writing on X, there are things I want to do with the days I have left in life.

00:22I want to work with Shirley MacLaine and do shots with Cher.

00:27I got you, babe.

00:29Admitting, yes, my days are so big, just saying.

00:33Just talking about it.

00:35Yeah, those are some pretty iconic goals, and seems they've been on Christina's mind

00:39for some time.

00:41In another post on X last month, the 52-year-old echoed her desire to star alongside Shirley.

00:47Writing, I wish I could work with Shirley MacLaine.

00:50That's all.

00:51Woke up and that dream I have had for my whole life washed over me, and I wept for a minute,

00:56and I'm sure I will again.

00:59But she didn't hesitate to shoot her shot, ending the message saying, oh, and Shirley,

01:04I don't have your number anymore, so.

01:06Maybe I should really look at this seriously.

01:09Yeah, hell yeah, I'd be down.

01:11You never know.

01:13Christina first revealed her MS diagnosis in 2021.

01:16Oh, by the way, I have a disease.

01:19And has since been very candid about the harsh reality of living with the disease, opening

01:24up on Good Morning America earlier this year.

01:26Are you still in a grieving process?

01:29I'm not putting a time stamp on it.

01:32Yeah.

01:33I don't think it ends.

01:34Yeah.

01:35I'm never going to wake up and go, this is awesome.

01:36No.

01:37I'm just going to tell you that.

01:38Like, it's just not going to happen.

01:40She shared how she's still learning to cope.

01:43I wake up and I'm reminded of it every day.

01:45So there's, it's not going to happen, but I might get to a place where I will function

01:51a little bit better.

01:52Right now I'm isolating.

01:54And that's kind of how I'm dealing with it, is by like, not going anywhere, because I

01:58don't want to do it.

01:59It's hard.

02:01Christina also gave an update on Armchair Expert in March.

02:05You know, this is a disease forever for us.

02:07We're prolonging life with these treatments now.

02:10Doesn't mean that I'm going to be around in 10 years.

02:13We hope in our lifetime that someone will be like, we've got it.

02:16Oh my God, that'll be so great.

02:17But it's a disease of progression and you just progressively get worse.

02:22This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life.

02:24I hate it so much.

02:25Yeah.

02:26And I'm so mad about it.

02:27There's like this thing of like, I push through.

02:29But how she's pushing through, holding on to that sense of humor.

02:33I make these jokes because if I don't, I'll suffocate.

02:36I'll be done.

02:37I'm not ready for the healing yet.

02:38And I'm being very honest.

02:39I will get there.

02:41But when someone says, have you accepted this as your new normal?

02:44No.

02:45F*** you.

02:46Absolutely not.

02:47How do I deal with everything in life?

02:48I try to be really present, present and grateful.

02:57I try.

02:58I try.

02:59I try.

03:00I try.
