Some Days ... I just don't know about me

I can be such a dimwit. I do things to my computer that I KNOW I shouldn't do, but I see something and recognize the intrinsic cuteness of it, and then I remember that the Borg were right: Resistance is futile. Which was why, after I got a really cute E-mail from JC today telling me that I had won her "pay it forward" that I went on automatic pilot and said Gee, this is really cute! I want me some pretty e-mails like this, Here I'll just click this little ole "install" button and get me some. So I did. Then I remembered that I am no longer the brightest bulb on the tree and that when it comes to all things computer: Simple is Best.

So, I decided to "uninstall" the cutest little e-mail program, and reverted to dimwit status. DH, however, came to my rescue, and I am happily back to my Mozilla Thunderbird program which works just fine, indeed. K.I.S.S.

I have been working on re-learning to crochet, so I got out some old acrylic yarn to practice with, and lo and behold, I have half a hat completed. I'm going to finish it with an ugly clashing color just to see how big I have to make it, and to make sure it looks okay on me style-wise. Go Webster. Go Webster. It's a fun project. Now let me testify: crocheting goes SO MUCH FASTER than knitting! - But then, I have MS and numb fingers, so using one implement is bound to be better than two. (Thinking chopsticks -- I used to be able to eat with those, but no more.)

Still no apple crisp, alas. Will tomorrow be the day? Stay tuned.

And I am so looking forward to my Pay It Forward from JC. I'm sure it will be lovely, whatever it is.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    All things computer caused by over zealous installs are easily fixed by hitting the any key. When that fails fairy dust sprinkled on the keyboard may get results.

    If you do not get the Apple Crisp done soon I may have to go buy some apples and make my own instead. You can send apple crisp via the computer using Thunderbird can't you?

    Did 'it' goof up your system ? Sorry about that. My H is a puter nerd so he fixes things when they go nuts which puters and loading things always seem to do.

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
