Day the Fourth


As I type this on my laptop, little Nishita, having finished eating, has jumped up on to what's left of my lap. If ever I wished I was taller it would be at a time like this - when more leg would come in handy. Nishita is my green-eyed black outdoor kitty who is a lover-bunny. She has curled up against me, is purring to beat the band, is kneading my leg and has put her head down upon my arm. I can see the screen, and barely, the keyboard. Too bad I can't touch type worth a damn.

Last week, during a weak moment, I ordered the free magazine Living the Country Life which I heard about on Bitchypoo.com. I've been following the lives of Robyn and Fred and their cats, and more recently chickens and pigs and two Great Pyrenees, as they have made the change from obesity in suburbia to living fit on Crooked Acres. I had just received a solicitation in the mail offering O, The Oprah Magazine for $15 a year, which for some reason I found irresistable. Then following my signing up for the free Living the Coutry Life, I am inundated with offers of all sorts of magazines for really cheap prices. Before I knew it, I had ordered Better Homes and Gardens for $6 and Family Circle for $7. I've already been billed for those, so for less that $30 (incl. S&H) I'll be getting four magazines. What a sucker I am. I can't wait to hear the flak I'm sure to receive once they start arriving.

Good Night, TTYL and, you know, Be Well

    Hey...I get a magazine/flier every month from Army Surplus and I've NEVER ordered anything from them! Of course, with the economy as it is, I might just start stock piling food and ammo..LOL

    (Send me a link to that site you emailed about...would love to see what you DID!)

    I have cut my magazine subsrciptions way down this year. I kept the National Geographic and I think readers Digest (good throne room material).

    Spending too much on books.

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
