I swear to God, even my HAIR hurts.

Lordy, lordy … it was the week from hell around here. I can’t even begin to describe it, but I’ll give it my best shot because that’s probably why you’re here, right?

I had another “decline,” this time I’ve been sleeping 18 hours a day, eating a teaspoon of food here and there or a meal replacement shake for elderly diabetics. I’m limp, I watch old movies, I have zero energy, I can barely hold onto my mouse, and my voice is so fucking weak it’s completely disappeared. All I do is squeak!

Before I forget … I want to include another list of wonderful free fonts. I love all of these, boys and girls (especially “Shanders”), and I’ve discovered that even when I feel lousy enough to croak I’m always still excited about FREE FONTS. Download links appear below the graphic. Incidentally, you can get the file for “Shanders” directly from yours truly via email. Thank you.

Today was hectic around here but I remember practically none of it. I just woke up from another nine-hour nap! Sam tells me that my hospice C.N.A. was here at 9:30 a.m. for bathing and hygiene, our maid arrived at 10 a.m. to clean the house (I don’t remember seeing her at all), and my hospice L.V.N., Sharon, was here sometime around 11, but I draw another blank on this one, too. A totally pathetic day. I can’t recall ANY of it, and it’s frightening.

I don’t remember watching TV, I don’t remember speaking to Sam, I have no idea what I ate (if anything at all), and I barely remember my morning bath except for the few minutes I was rolled on my side, which is always very painful.

Right now (Friday night, 8 p.m.) my legs are agonizing and I can barely move them an inch, I can’t raise my arms, and I swear to God even my HAIR hurts. I took my evening meds a little while ago along with a couple of Hydrocodones … so a certain level of pain relief is forthcoming. In the meantime I’ll post my latest Shit-O-Meter readout for your possible interest, and here it is:

Believe it or not, there’s always one thing that remains constant in my life … The Howdygram Store. I continue to upload dozens of new greeting card designs (I still have more than 50 to go) whenever I have the patience and energy … and, of course, if I’m not throwing up.

Therefore, here are four of my newest designs as of yesterday. The kitty-cat card is actually from a collection of about 30 (or will be, eventually), and they’re all funny and adorable if you’re a kitty lover.

My holiday cards are selling like wildfire right now. Actually, my entire product line is selling like wildfire! Luggage tags, notebooks, padfolios, mugs, cards, fleece blankets, throw pillows, baby “onesies,” EVERYTHING. Believe it or not, there’s still time to shop (and receive!) all kinds of customized gifts for the holidays, so email me if you need a few ideas, okay?

It’s 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning now, and I desperately need a good “sleeping” movie to help me conk out. I think I’ll watch Red Dust (1932) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Mary Astor, which is a fabulous, sweaty, sexy “soap opera” set on a southeast Asian rubber plantation. Perfect!

Thank you for reading this. Please feel free to forget the Alamo tonight, okay?
