Contest You Might Like

I have come home from blog reading to post that Joanna Jenkins is having a contest over at the Fifty Factor. She is offering a generous $100 gift certificate to  CSNStores  on-line shopping. Very generous giveaway, Joanna. I think I know what I'll get if I win.

I have been listening to The Widower's Tale, and the last two times I fell asleep, so I have been re-hearing it a lot. Silly me.

I have also started on that Heirloom afghan featuring 63 different stitches. Square 1 is single crochet in a variegated  yarn with two shades of red, and yellow and orange; It's gorgeous. The afghan will be in red, two shades of pink, two variegated shades, and a dark lavender. So it will look very different from the pattern, but more pleasing to my eye.

I have also gotten my Zentangles book Totally Tangled, and I've looked through it, but I haven't made any more Zentangles yet. Though I do get their tangle of the day in my e-mail and I practice that one and put it in my book.

Other than that I've been sleeping - a lot. I don't know why. It almost feels like I'm hibernating for the Winter.

Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well,

    A million thanks for the shout-out on my giveaway. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Your afghan sounds gorgeous. I'll be watching for a photo when you're finished!

    Cheers, jj

    I still have not tried Zentangles.

    Hope you win the contest.

    I am falling asleep during the day a lot more lately. Perhaps you have hit upon something -

    we are progressing to the hibernation stage . ...

    I shall go look into the mirror to make sure I do not look like a bear.

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
