This is it - My Blog Birthday!

Today HSFR is ONE! Happy Birthday to my Blog!

I never would have believed I'd make it through a full year of blogging that included two NaBloPoMo challenges. NaBloPoMo for the uninitiated is National Blog Posting Month wherein you register with them to take up the challenge to post every day for a month, either on a certain subject or not, your choice. Of course there were the other months that I posted much less often than everyday, like this month. But I also belong to BWO - Blogging Without Obligation - which takes the pressure off of keeping a blog. It offers much needed relief.

As I have (often, I'm afraid) said, I still don't feel like I have much to offer here, but several of you readers who comment, tell me that you enjoy my blathering. So blather on, I will.

*****

Lynn came over today instead of yesterday, and we spent the time ... not getting much done! Go figure. When she called me the other day she was pretty stressed out about this impending move, then when she gets here, we get nothing accomplished! Well, not Nothing - we did go to Sears and return my Land's End things and to get vacuum cleaner bags, and we went out to dinner (for my birthday). Tomorrow I hope to pack up some books, if not upstairs, then in my room, so I can hopefully sell them at Crown Books. We also need to go to the grocery for a few things as she will be going to a BBQ with me on Saturday and we'll bring a fruit salad.

Turns out that she is able to store some of her things in Yakima, and some more of her things here in Tacoma at another friend's house. She wants things to be ready yesterday, then she gets here and sees that it's not going to happen like that. One thing, she is really understanding of my DH's ennui, and that helps. A lot. And she seems happy to be coming to live here - even if it means that it'll be awhile before she's settled in. At least, that's how she feels today.

So, I'll bitch at you all later, because it's almost 3 AM and I need to get some sleep in a real way.

Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well

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
