Old Habits are Hard to Break

Here it is, 6:35 AM and I am postponing going to bed. It's crazy, because I am tired. But I just finished crocheting my second hat, a beret this time, and then started playing online Solitaire. I am just like my Mother in that regard. She would stay up really late at night, playing Solitaire at the dining room table.

Yesterday, I started reading The Case of he Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall. It takes place in modern Delhi, India. The first chapter was good, and I hope the rest is as well.

Just so you know, I'm not ignoring you, I read your blogs faithfully, but I am trying to do some other things as well. This is the week for that, it's rainy, windy and cold; typical November weather.

Thanks Herrad for the award. I'll put it up after I'm done writing, which is now.

Good night, TTYL, and Be Well

    Hi Webster,
    Good post, and you are right old habits are hard to break.
    I still enjoy playing solitaire too.
    By the way all the awards were for everyone.

    Hi Herrad, Pogo Solitaire rocks! I realize the awards were given to several of us. Still much appreciated. Thanks. Finally got to bed at 8 AM (!), and got up at 4 PM. Now it's 5 AM once again, and time for either reading or knitting or Solitaire.

    Hi Marty, Yes, my schedule is "around the clock" as I am won't to say. I guess I live a Swing shift kind of life. Take care.

    Hi - I thought I was the only one who's internal clock is totally screwed. Lots of going to bed when the sun is coming up. Slept the entire day. Sunday. Got a call @ 6:30 pm & I asked them what they were doing up so early. I thought it was 6:30 am! Needless to say I shed some tears over how helpless I felt. Take care & try to rest easy.

    We all seem to have screwed up internal clocks! =( I find it difficult to go to sleep and/or stay asleep at times. GRRRR.... MS has a way of keeping our minds churning it seems.

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
