News from the home front

I know I have been really bad about not posting the last few days but they have been really rough on my health--it seems like all I do is sleep. HOURS and hours and hours on end. The pain in my chest is about the same--which is through the roof and it is just gowing old really fast and I know many of you understand that.

I go today at 7 p.m. for a CAT Scan and tomorrow I go to my HIV Specialist for my 3 month review and for the results of my blood test which include T-cells and Viral Load which I already know is going to be screwed as I have been so sick again. The question is how screwed up is everything and how low is my T-cell count.

My time mainly has been spent trying to stay ahead of my e-mails, sewing on my counted cross stitch--especially after supper. Yesterday was the first real day I did any work--actually 2 hours of work and I ended up laying down for 3 hours. In many ways I hope they find something in those CAT Scans today but in many other ways I hope the don't. I know many of you understand that.

I am actually sitting reading this now, before it goes up into my collection.Thats the nice thing for me anyway is that all of the books, magazines, articles and anything else printed I have in my collection I have read them all--cover to cover.

One of my other new pieces to my collection is an autogrpah from Eartha Kitt. Wondering why Eartha Kitt? Well she played the Wicked Witch of the West on Broadway a few years back and from what I have heard was wonderful in the roll. The scan here also shows a picture.

The picture I found online--a rather large file-- copied it to my digital camera disk thingie and off we went to Rite Aide to print it out. Viola new piece for the shrine . What was nice was since the autogrpah was on paper without the photograoh the price was low.
