Day the Ninth


Tomorrow is the day I actually will stay up and make it to the library. I WILL. Because I cannot abide library fines accruing. I did this two months ago, too, and have a fine on the books. This will be adding up to a total of $4. I don't have $4 to waste just like that. Really, I don't. If I allow myself to spend my hard-earned money (If you don't think being disabled enough to get SSDI is hard, think again!) on fines, how will I be able to go out to lunch with my girlfriends? I ask you? Not to mention the new microwave! So, I may have to take a nap, but I WILL get out of the house and return my books to the library. Besides, there are others waiting for me to pick up.
So, Beulah seems to be adjusting to Radagast's passing. She has been sniffing around and whining for the past few days, but today has been pretty quiet. This is a macabre thought, but, I wonder if she can smell his decomposing body in the back yard. He is buried at least three feet down, but still, she is a Bassett Hound. You know? Yet she can't find a dog biscuit if it's right in front of her (cataracts), so maybe she doesn't smell as well as the rest of her breed. I know - creepy.

So Good Night, then

    I can't even recall the amount of a library fine...maybe because I'm one of those low life's that rarely READ?!?

    So, even with your fines, be proud of the fact you still read with abandon!

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
