Nice day today - really


Even though I got just six hours sleep last night, when I woke up I was steady and feeling okay. Not great, but okay. We converged on El Toro at pretty much the same time and had a lovely lunch. Then we ambled over to Big Lots (actually one of them pushed my walker while I reparked my car at the entrance), whereupon we went in to stimulate the economy a bit. I found a lovely cat bed which, so for, hasn't gone over too well - but that may be because the door to my bedroom is open and it's quieter in there on my bed. Damned cats.

I also got a big multicolored sunflower whirlygig for the patio - the first bit of whimsy added this year. Big Lots has lots of that kind of stuff. Who knew? Big pots, too. But this month;s budget is just about shot.

I then went to Trader Joe's as everyone else went their seperate ways, and got my COFFEE. Oh happy, Oh joy.


Now I can make a pot of coffee for DH. HA, The irony is (if you can read the fine print) that HE is the one who prepares MY meals. But you all know I'm just kidding, right? DH slept on the sofa last night so he would be sure to hear me get up so he'd be up and about when I left - because sometimes I need his help (not often), and that's just the way he rolls. Turns out that I made it all the way into the car before he appeared in the garage to kiss me goodbye.

On that note,
Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    Hi Webster,

    Sounds like a good day yesterday and thanks for mentioning buying the whirlygig we should get a couple as they will keep the pigeons at a distance on the balcony.

    The coffee ad made me laugh Richie saw it and will have a cup as soon as he comes back from taking the dogs round the block.

    Have a great Tuesday.

    Love,

    Herrad

    The coffee post made me laugh and laugh- I miss having my coffee pre-made (what, I can't make it the night before?) so it's hot and ready when I get up.

    Stumbling around the kitchen looking for an IV drip of caffeine is usually my first chore.

    I'm going to say something, then duck and run:

    I DON'T DRINK COFFEE

    There. I might as well just announced I was a serial killer or a pedophile. LOL

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
