Plus … I’m also working on a few new greeting card designs, a few more mugs and a pile of new throw pillows. I promise to post pictures here as soon as the products are available online, okay?

Right now it’s mid-day Sunday, Sam is on his way to Wal-Mart to pick up a few essentials for the fridge and pantry — oh boy! rye bread! — and I’m waiting patiently for him to get home because I’m ready for lunch. I want chicken lunch meat on rye with mayo and a couple of bread and butter pickles. (Fabulous, right? Don’t be jealous.) This will be the highlight of my day, however, as I’m feeling lousy again … ACHY, POOPY, DROOPY, DRIPPY, CRAPPY, PISHY AND BLECCH.
Ooh! Did I just invent new names for the Seven Dwarfs? (Hi ho, hi ho …)
BATHING AND HYGIENE. Every morning the hospice sends my C.N.A. for a bathing and hygiene session. This is routinely a very pleasant experience, especially when I can needle her to wash my hair with a snazzy no-rinse foaming shampoo for bedridden senior citizens. (You have no idea how much I miss taking a shower like normal people!)
MEDICARE RECERTIFICATION. On Wednesday or Thursday we’ll have a visit from a hospice nurse practitioner for my 60-day Medicare recertification. This involves a routine checkup and interview to: 1) document my declining health; and 2) determine whether or not I still fall under Medicare’s guidelines for free hospice home care. The answers are always the same. Yes, my health continues to decline, and yes, I still fall under Medicare’s guidelines for free hospice home care. It’s actually in Medicare’s best interest to keep me confined at home with Sam as my caregiver. This is a lot less expensive than booting me into a nursing home, where it would cost at least $5,000 every month and eventually I’d be miserable enough to start throwing flatware at the maintenance staff. And I’m generally a cheerful person!

Good night, boys and girls. It’s time for me to change gears, eat a snack and watch a movie. Thank you for reading this, and let’s all join hands for a minute and try to remember the Alamo … all at once!
