Hot, hot, hot

I should have gotten out of bed when I first woke up, but I didn't. I let myself roll over to get one more hour, and slept like the dead for four! Biorhythms are once again playing with me. I did have five good diurnal days. Now I have to start all over. DH isn't helping any, either; getting dinner much too late makes me want to stay up even later. It is a vicious cycle.

I think I was killed off in Diane's murder mystery The Mystery of the Blotted Out Blogger; in episode one, no less. Why meeeee???  What did I do to be the first one to go? . . .  But killed by whom? I have no issues with anyone (that I am aware of, anyway). It must be one of those Right Coast  Bloggers who traipsed through Seattle a short while ago. Hmmmm.  I guess I'll just have to keep reading to find out who would hit me with a blunt object - and leave a mark (I know!), on my otherwise unblemished person.  BTW, Diane, did you know that the county morgue used to be on top of QA Hill? LOL Now it is at Harborview. Anyway. 

It was a very warm day in Tacoma today. A record breaking 94'! Needless to say, I did not go outside. I did notice that there was a nice warm breeze outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm, and Monday too. Then it will cool off, and by next weekend we'll be  back in the 60s. High 60s, but still the 60s. Our weathermen are notorious for being unable to predict out that far, so we'll see. I have a BBQ to go to next Saturday. I need to know what to put in the laundry!

Maybe I will put on my cooling vest and go out tomorrow.  It's just like this one, only without the collar. Once it's cinched up, I hardly notice how heavy the ice packs are. Doesn't this woman look like she's just been made up by a mortician? She seems a little plastic to me. In any case. It's cooling vest weather, is what I'm saying.

Now I can't think anymore. So I am going to say...

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well.

    Hi Webster,

    Hope I am wrong.
    Love,

    The heat used to bother me so much, now, not so bad. My apt. is cool and of course the bldg is A/C. When it hit 105 last Summer, I just opened the hall door and put big fan there. Now, Webby, are you 100% sure that YOU were that victim? Ok, yes, it was you. I wonder WHY? Well, and just because you were the first FOUND in Seattle, doesn't mean you were the first. A morgue, eh? Near where I live now? Hmmm Yes, who WOULD want you dead? And what would make such an impression? Those vests have been around for at least 20 years. I almost bought one in 1990. Cheaper to stuff cold packs under my clothes.

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

Image
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
