Have I Ever Found a Bigger Time Suck?


Why no, I don't think I have. The forum over at www.MSKurmudgeonsKorner.com is one of those places that I go to visit for "just a little while," and before I know it three hours of my life have been sucked into a wormhole.

And it's not that I have all that much to say, because I am, after all, " Sarcastica, Karmic Arsonist and terse Goddess of the most reread threads ."

Most of my comments are short and sweet, terse and/or sarcastic, and I can never remember where I have posted, so to see any responses I have to go back and reread threads, and like I said, it's a direct path to a wormhole.

So, there went my last several hours. Once I read a few blogs, I think I'll maybe make some coffee, finish the Sunday paper, do a daily crossword puzzle (in ink!), and even though I got up really late yesterday, maybe go to bed. BUT, if it doesn't start raining, I might round up enough gumption to go to Trader Joe's and Great Harvest (for some Pumpkin Swirl bread).

Over the last week or two I have started to have the occasional hot flash again. I realize that I am having a relatively very few symptoms of Menopause compared to the norm, but really? MORE Hot Flashes? Does it not ever END? EVER? Do I have to die to be through with this? Thirteen years is not enough? At least I don't have to deal with periods anymore. Yeah, just watch me get pregnant. Hah!

So, Good Night, TTYL and Be Well.

    Writing your crossword puzzles in ink, eh? You are far braver than I!

    I think the WORST part of menopause (perimenopause) is never knowing WHEN a period will strike...one month, two, six, every week?!?

    Hang in there...one day we can only hope the big U will just give up the ghost...

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

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
