Oh Captain, My Captain


 Yesterday I watched Mrs. Doubtfire  "I saw him; I think it was a run by fruiting"; today it was Dead Poet's Society, in memory of Robin Williams. What a fantastic performance. I don't know why, but it surprises me how rigid and ignorant many people are. This movie brought me to tears in the end. I couldn't help it. Sniff, Sniff.

I guess it's on to another one on the list. I will check to see what's available on www.tubeplus.me  where I go to watch TV and movies for free. Makes me wonder why I am paying $20 just to be connected to regular TV which we so rarely watch.

TTYL,

    Nothing like being up late or early as the case might be

      Speaking of losing comments (I know you wrote that), your most recent comment that I approved went missing! Hope it shows up soon, somewhere.

      It is a boon for those of us who can't afford other options. All it misses is local news, which you CAN find via Googling your local station and bookmarking it. But I don't watch local news for anything but the weather.

    I find movies difficult. I need to stop and think about things - and go back. Which is fine if I am at home and watching on my own.
    And the reason why books are my go to rather than movies or TV.
    And there are some books which I read, and reread knowing that I will weep.

      So many books, too little time. I am a sloooww reader. Also I need new glasses, which is part of the problem.

      Also, I read a book, then go see the movie, and usually am so disappointed with what they did with the screenplay.

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
