This and that ...

First of all, Joanna Jenkins is a having a give-away over at The Fifty Factor of one of Attila the Mom's exquisite ornaments and a cash card. Go check her out and see for yourself.  I already ordered three of these ornaments and they are quality pieces in a variety of colors. They would make nice gifts.


This is the lovely silver one which I think would look just great dangling from some special spot well into the snowy Winter.

I have to go download a bunch of books from the library. I tried just before Thanksgiving, ad after spending a lot of time, I realized that I did it wrong, and now I have to do it over. I hate the whole close out of Linux, reboot into Windows, do the down loads, close out of Windows, boot back into Linux thing before I get the books. I guess this is why I save up and do 8 - 10  at a time. Sigh.

I had Thanksgiving at my cousin's house, and yesterday my brother came over and brought me leftovers!  Even half of a pumpkin pie. I think he got carried away and cut into it before remembering he was giving it to me, lol.

I have been wanting more sleep; Lots and lots of sleep. I hate to be cold so I like to remain cuddled in bed about three hours longer than I should. Then, once I get up, within an hour or so, I find myself dozing in my chair. This is just not right. I need to make an appointment with my PCP for a check-up. Maybe I'm anemic or something.

On Friday, the Zentangle class I organized went off without a hitch. We had eight people there, and at the end when Linda put our eight Zentangles together with the unified string, everyone was amazed at how different they all looked, even though we were each working with the same four tangles. Way cool. One of these days I will post some here. Logistics are difficult. Bear with me. Oh, and because I organized it, I didn't have to pay the $35! BONUS.

Oh, and I ran across this in my wanderings and thought you might enjoy it too.



On that note, I'm off to the virtual library!

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,

    I like "this and That" since my brain thinks like that! I would have difficulty download books too?? Nice brother to bring you food...I sleep a lot sometimes but I take meds that cause drowsiness...

    Hi!!! I love your ornament--it's sooo pretty!!! and I have to tell you that a few months ago I was anemic and didn't know it...so, I guess it is good to have it checked, especially because I think I took folic acid and I was fine--yay!!!

    Kim, books are easy to download; I just have to switch back and forth between operating systems which adds an extra step.

    Karen, it's not too late to enter Joanna's giveaway. It's on the right side of my blog. I bought three of Attila's ornaments and they each are well made and lovely.

    Rae, it was probably a breath of fresh air for them after hearing
    MOO yelled at them from car windows for years. LOL

    Elephant's Child - I prefer to read actual books too, but I have a hard time with my no-line bifocals, so I listen while I do something else with my hands, like crochet.

    Sherry, read what I said to Rae. LOL

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
