Day the Third


Mich@el Phelps, who has the tremendous lung capacity of an Olympic swimmer, has been outed for taking a hit from a bong at a party. He's 23 years old. Yeah, pot is illegal, but common, so really - what's all the fuss about? That he didn't leave any in the bowl?? I suggest to those of you who sit in judgment of him for this: find something else to bray about.

A week or so ago I ordered a polar fleece vest from Land's End on sale for $19.50. I got one in XL reg in Loden (green). The color was wrong for me, as was the size - so I reordered it in XL petite (an oxymoron if ever there was one) in Berry. It fits perfectly. It's roomy, toasty and comfortable. Now, I have to return the other vest to Sear's, and a sweater I got for Christmas that doesn't fit right back to Macy's. I think it's time to get a new bra, instead. The girls could use the support.

Good night, TTYL

    Hi Webster--

    I've seen your link on a few different blogs. Just thinking about the whole "Land's End" topic: I buy their stuff from Sears sometimes, but I have problems with their sizes because I'm just above the petite range: a hair over 5'3". Petites too short and regulars often too long. Weird. I have better luck myself with L.L.Bean clothes.

    I refer to my size as FLP...FAT LADY PETITE! Because my legs are too short to fit my fat arse, so the "petite" in in the length, not the width.

    whatever...LOL

    Ladies, I feel your pain. I weigh in at 185 and am 5'4" on a good day. There. I've said it. Admitted on the internet what no woman I know owns up to - just how fat she is. Finding pants that fit - hurts. L.L.Bean's size chart leaves me smack between sizes, even more so than at Land's End. Bottom line is I have to try them on. The L.E. tees in regular fit just fine. They're a bit roomy, but that's a good thing!, so the length with the vest was an anomaly, besides I'm liking the Berry color better. Much better.

    I have no problems with Land's End's regular jackets (don't know why..I have two of them actually.) Just the shirts. Never tried any of their pants. I stick to Levi's usually because they fit me like a glove.

    Haha! What a funny conversation!....

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
