Dull Sunday


I know I have to get this entry written because the day is nearing it's end.

I woke up around 10:30 a.m. this morning, which is a good thing. My husband was still up working on the Dell 8000; I asked him what he was trying to do, and got a terse "the same thing I've been doing since yesterday." I don't know what that is, but a few hours later (around 4 p.m.) he got up, locked the back door, locked the front door, ignored me when I asked if he would build a fire, and disappeared into his bedroom where he's been ever since. Apparently he's sleeping.

I accomplished a very few things today. I took a shower, and used this new (to me) shampoo that smells like Oranges! Me like it. It's supposed to make my hair shiny. Funny, I thought just washing it did that to straight hair.

Then I finished reading yesterday's paper. I still have the crossword puzzle to do because I fell asleep early in my chair yesterday before I got to it. That's a good thing because I can never do the Sunday crosswords.

So, I've been alone with the animals all day. Beulah has been whiny, wanting in and out, and to be fed. Finally she's quiet. Radagast, on the other hand, has not been fed; he is restlessly laying on a wet paper as I type, he probably needs to poop, and I've tried to help him get up, but I can't unless he helps me, but he stops trying to get up every time I go to help him. Poor damned dog. It so sucks that I can't do anything for him.

In addition to pet stuff, I carried two cups of coffee into the living room by myself without spilling a drop.
Earlier this afternoon a neighbor dropped by; his eldest son will be turning 16 in January and wants to buy our truck that has been sitting idle in front of our house for years. Hubs is going to sell it to him for $400, and that will happen perhaps next weekend. Yay.

Maybe now I can buy a new mattress for my platform bed and finally get rid of the lumpy thing that I sleep on now. Foam mattresses are cheaper than regular, so their warranty is the same as the cheap regular ones. I have my $300 tax incentive rebate check, thanks to hubs, who found a form on the IRS website for "spouse in distress" or something like that; (he didn't get his due to unpaid student loans) . Before I filed that form, I didn't get mine either, because we filed jointly.

I'm going to finish watching Monk, then finish the paper, then have a fig newton, then do the crossword, then put Beulah out one more time, then go to bed. Sounds like a plan.

Good Night, TTYL. and Be Well

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

Image
well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
