More Snow!


That's my big news for y'all. We had a lovely smattering of snowfall, and it was lovely indeed, mostly because I wasn't going out in it, and because it wasn't sticking to the streets around here. So I just sat here in my swivel glider and watched the birds at the feeder outside the window, and we didn't just have sparrows and chickadees today, we had a lovely pair of Steller's Jays that seemed grateful for the free food.

We can't use our kitchen sink, and DH is taking his sweet time fixing it. It got clogged Saturday, not with coffee grounds, but with a sludge of oils from the coffee grounds we've washed down the drain for the last 18 years. First he plunged it; then he took the pipe apart to check out the clog; then he went to L0we's to buy a drain auger (a snake) yesterday; this evening he finally starts working on it and discovers that the hot water hose is leaking, so he just got back from L0we's with a replacement and is mumbling in the kitchen. I want to go make a pot of coffee, but he has all the under-the-sink stuff scattered about the kitchen, so I had better not. I'm sure it will be working sometime tonight, or, more likely, he'll be working on it well into the night and into the morning as is his MO.

I had an enjoyable lunch and visit with a friend last Thursday. We went to Applebee's, and I won't be going back. My fish-n-chips were fine but the coleslaw had way too much mayo. Plus, it was way too noisy in there, we could hardly have a decent conversation. So afterward we had coffee at St@rbuck's where we chatted for maybe 90 minutes. She was going to come over Friday and bring a friend to meet me, but something came up and we'll have to do that some other time.

Tomorrow I should take a shower and wash my hair, then make a trip to Trader Joe's. Number one on my list? Can you guess? Leave your guess in my comments.

I've been having a craving for some bread pudding. Old fashioned bread pudding with lemon sauce just sounds like the comfort food that's appropriate for a freezing day like tomorrow promises to be.

A few days ago I thought I was going to call my neuro for a run of 'roids. I was having a really bad day. But all seems to be back to my lousy normal, so I'll just let it be. On that note,

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    No snow here just fog.

    This last weekend found us at Home Depot more times than one would like. Our drains must be on the same path LOL. Billy found our hot water valve and the pipe behind it leaking. Seems the dang faucet was leaking too. No coffee grounds in the sink trap just a mound of loose change - go figure? Enough yucky coins to buy a cup o coffee.

    Trish was here all week and she is a shopping fool ha ha so we also hit Trader Joes and I picked up some pasta and a jar of lemon curd jam stuff.

    Hope your feeling better and you got your bread pudding!!!

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
