SEPTEMBER

is just weird. Days of 90% humidity, 3 tornado warnings (oh, wait, one was in August), day after day of having the a/c on and the windows closed, and today I have put on a long-sleeved shirt because it is 63, and was in the 50’s overnight. Much more my kind of weather. Tornado warnings were fun. Not. I could not carry Miss G in her hard crate, and DD2 suggested I put it on the seat on my Rollator thing. I changed to a soft crate, which was much more doable, but still hard to carry her, so I did put it there, and poor baby was in the crate on the seat for well over an hour. She did not make a sound the entire time, was very well behaved. It was so long because right after the tornado warning was cancelled, there was almost immediately another one. I discovered I can watch Boston and Providence news of my Firestick, and WBZ, the Boston station, had excellent coverage. Continuos, specific, and reassuring. At one point the anchor was saying things like, ‘If you’re here, you’re safe, if you live near (and mentioned specific businesses up the street from me, seriously) you need to take shelter. It was the best coverage I have ever seen of anything. Unfortunately, the Rhode Island station kept going to the cutsy anchors chatting inanely. Why I stopped watching news even when I had cable

Housing inspection is today. Sometime before 11am, I was told. I was awake all night AGAIN, and fell asleep in daylight. Hoped to get a few hours before the inspector comes, but kept getting woken up. Very noisy street today and I am on the second floor, a sidewalk’s width from the street. Having coffee. Had to put on a long-sleeved shirt because COLD in here. Yay. My new ‘therapist’ agreed with me that I do not need her services and is going to recommend a regular therapist, my doctor sent me a message to say my blood work is good and my A1c number was on the way to being great, but that was before the increased dose of Prednisone, which raises blood sugar, among other damaging side effects. It is a miracle drug, right up until it kills you, it seems. I also found out yesterday that today is my homemaker’s last day. She didn’t come Tuesday, and I ordered a grocery delivery which for once went exceptionally well. No idea why she ‘asked for reduced hours’, which sounds specious to me. She has never mentioned anything like that. I will find out what the story is today, I guess She is not the best cleaner I have had, but we get along really well and laugh a lot and have fun, and I will miss her. Life is change. Adapt or die, is what I always say. Having even one chronic, debilitating illness teaches you to adapt pretty quickly. Having 3 just reinforces that to the nines.

Got to go out with my friend Tess yesterday. We went to Michael’s. Have not been there in some time. I bought some cute little individual flowers in three colors, and a set of six about 2 inch long nutcracker stick-ons. No idea what to stick any of these things on, but hey. I always do that when we got there. Find really nice crafty things, buy some, and never actually use them, because it is eons before I have a day good enough to do crafts, and I have forgotten what I bought them for in the meantime. LOL My life is SOOOO interesting. LOLOL
