Convention Meeting

This afternoon my sorority had a State Convention Planning meeting and I lucked out by not having to do any big job. Yay me! If you think that's me being lazy, to some extent you're right, but more to the point I'm just not that into State involvement anymore. Chapter involvement is one thing I feel comfortable committing to, except for events that start at or before 8 AM. I have limits. (Remember last year's State Meeting? When I tired myself out during the day, and got too hot at night, then fell and couldn't get up? The visit by the firemen; the breaking down of the room's door (because the hotel couldn't find the tool that releases the lock latch)?? Such fun. I slept 12 hours a day for the next three days!

But, I will go if I have to; as long as I get some help paying for it. Hell, I might have DH drive me there and use my w/c and/or crutch. That would solve a lot of the fatigue issues right there, but it would also leave me stranded w/o a car at my disposal. But I do know that some nearby restaurants deliver - so that might be a viable plan.

Last night I spent a long time after watching Olympics listening to Anne Tyler's latest novel, Noah's Compass. I do love me some Anne Tyler. One thing I am noticing in this novel is that many of the more minor characters don't seem to be as fully developed as in her previous books. Still, I'm enjoying it so far. The best thing? There was a long waiting list to get it at Tacoma Public Library, but since I (recently) discovered their digital library and downloaded their free OverDriveMedia software, I didn't have to wait at all! Plus, it's so much more easy on the eyes than reading is for me anymore. At least until I get those new glasses (they're on the list).

So, that's it for tonight, I guess.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well

    I have probably asked you already but here goes ... which sorority ?

    I was Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta) in college and a member of Beta Sigma Phi for a while.

    That's okay, JC, I forget things all the time. I belong to ESA INtl. the Omicron chapter in Tacoma, it's a philthropic sorority, not panhelenic. We raise money for St. Jude's Research hospital, Easter Seals, and NMSS, all while having fun and camaraderie with some pretty spectacular ladies. If you're interested in joining us, E-mail me. :-)

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
