April's ending, but it won't take all it's drear with it. The beginning of May will be like this. A Thursday 1st put's bill paying in a bit of weirdness, but it'll get handled. Only normal stuff, like trash & mail are on the schedule today. More storms are in the forecast.
That's all for now, take care.
Goodbye April.

I've seen a few pieces over the last couple of years that are about the inevitable. I'm not going to cite them, because none of them offered anything specific. The gist of these articles was, for the 1st time more HIV+ people are dying, but not of HIV or related illnesses. They're passing due to other, usually age related, health matters like cardiovascular issues or cancer.
Most realize this is actually an accomplishment. Others seem saddened & brought down, like they failed. If you're lucky medical treatment, even for HIV, gives you the now, maybe tomorrow, but not forever. These people contracted HIV in the 80s & 90s. Many of them are in their late 60s & older.
As sad this might be, these deaths weren't the direct result of HIV. Even if they were helped along due to the virus, these are still ailments associated with getting older. If the HIV doesn't off you, then something else will, but that's always been the case.

I wasn't doing that great yesterday & then a sudden change in weather knocked me back further. There was an unexpected storm that caused the power to blip. It brought a lot of wind & rain. It dumped over an inch in a few hours.
It was dark when I woke up. I'm trying to completely wake up, but being dehydrated isn't helping. My blood pressure is low again. That will settle down when this weather does, so who knows when.
The weather's looking iffy for a ways out. Hopefully, the last bit of April goes well. That's it for now. Take care.

Articles have been very limited for some time. It's due to the BS this current administration is pulling. The orange stain could undo decades of work due to his stunts. Some are trying to oppose him or offset his impact, but that won't be easy. At this point, there's still too much up in the air to make any certain comments on the issue.
Besides that matter, it's the last weekend of April. The 1st of the month is goin to fall awkward this month. That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
It's a little brighter this last Friday in April. Mostly it's hazy. That's still better than the dismal skies we've been having. I almost hate to say it, but we don't have much of anything planned this weekend. Lately, every "nothing" day has turned into a "something damned annoying" day.
Shopping & errands are about it for us this morning. Take care.
Cya...
The month is winding down. April hasn't been a great run for me. It's good we got the rain, but the dreary skies were rough. It rained more yesterday & may today. The next couple of weeks look to be wet. I just hope it's not dark & stormy.
I'm still not seeing much for articles. We don't currently have much happening besides the norm for the rest of the month. That could change, but hopefully it doesn't.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
Again, another nothing day got interrupted. This really pisses me off. The stuff that happens could happen on any other day, but no, it has to happen on a day I just wanted to do nothing. I'm tired of being understanding about it, knowing things need to get done, etc... BS BS BS.
I was spent & just need a bright day of nothing to recharge. It was going well until I heard the lawn guy mowing. There went my day. Now I had to deal with yard crap. This yard is just another thing in my life that I seriously hate. After all the noise, dust, debris, sprays & traipsing around the yard, I feel like crap.
The damned yard is mowed, the skies are grey, it may storm & I feel like crap. Another great damned midweek.
Cya...
It's a surprisingly bright morning. If the forecast holds, it may have to last for a bit. There's a lot of clouds, rain & storms in the lineup. I feel like a bad rechargeable tool. When the sun's out & I"m "plugged" in, I feel fine. "Unplug" me & leave me with the drear & I sort of function, just don't expect a lot.
The Pope passed yesterday. This could mean nothing or everything for how things work in the world. It depends on the new Pope & what his stances are for the church. I'm not Catholic, but the position still holds sway.
That's about it for now, take care.
Cya...
It's brighter & a little chillier here this morning. We could see more storms later in the week, but for now, it's clear. I still woke up a couple of times earlier than I wanted. It's the time of the year, when I have little buffer sounds to muffle outside racket. The cars, people, barking, loud birds, etc.. make it hard to stay asleep.
We don't have a lot planned today, maybe it'll stay that way. The orange stain has basically crashed articles for the time being. This is it for now. Take care.
Cya...
Sleep & waking issues have been back with me for a bit. The drear is making my SAD linger & waking difficult. The weather has been screwing with my sleep; temps swings, muggy, storms, winds, etc... Last night, the cat that hasn't been sleeping with me, did. Well she didn't exactly sleep & neither did I. For such a little cat, she can be damned loud; demanding pets, jumping about, slurpy cleaning, etc...
I'm here, but not very awake, definitely not willing. It's another grey morning & could storm more. That's my day.
Take care.
Cya...
This will be brief. Storms kept waking me throughout the night. I'd get back to sleep, but then I overslept. I don't have much time to get around this morning. I didn't notice anything new for article sources. Stormy weather is a possibility until the beginning of May. I didn't need that.
Take care.
Cya...
I was hoping to be better by now, but I'm not. Stuff keeps happening; the damned wind, the lack of morning light, pending storms, etc... I just can't get my footing. It's very tiring & the rest of the month looks to be crappy weather.
I've really been trying to get through this, but at the moment that isn't happening. I'm not waking well & by the time I feel decent, the day's almost over. Every year it's taking longer for me to get past this. SAD sucks.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
It's warmer, but also cloudy. The rest of the month looks to be dark & stormy. I hope it doesn't hit hard & isn't it just dismal for the remainder of April. Yesterday's impromptu appointment went well, but was a little tiring & threw us off a bit.
So far this morning is going well enough & other than having a friend over, nothing much is planned. It'd be nice if that held. We don't need more today.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
The backend of April is looking wet. I don't mind the rain, I just hope there's not much in the way of storms for us. Another thing jumped on our schedule today. So we'll have an outing this afternoon. It shouldn't take long.
That's about it & I still have to get around. Take care.
Cya...
My blood pressure was still a little low this morning, but I wasn't nearly as dehydrated. Maybe things are leveling out a bit. That'd be novel.
There's still a lot of pollen in the air. Street crews are doing more road work this morning, so there's all that noise & those smells. Maybe that will be over soon.
Not much going on here today. My roomie has an short outing, but that's it. The rest of the week looks to be routine. The forecast has the end of the month looking dark & stormy. We don't need that. We'll take the rain, but keep the dark & rough stuff.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
We're at the time of year when the temps can't figure out where they want to be & getting comfortable can be challenging. There's tons of pollen & the winds are blowing debris, so allergies are acting up. I need to crank up the water, it might help me to not wake up so dehydrated & achy.
Today is a shopping day & we'll stop by the pharmacy as well. I think that's about it for us. I just need to get over this morning's cough fits & stuffy nose beforehand.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
While I'm glad it's getting warmer & brighter, the winds, pollen & temp swings are rough. I've been waking dehydrated with low blood pressure. That leaves me sluggish. The temp swings & pollen are making me ache, cough & deal with bad sinus issues.
It's going to be in the upper 80s today & could be in the mid 40s tomorrow night. Those shifts aren't fun. Maybe after this week, the lows will bottom out in the 50s. Then I can start stowing away the Winter stuff.
Other than a lot of neighbors doing yard work, yesterday was fairly quiet. That was nice.
That's all, take care.
Cya...
There's nothing going on this morning & I hope it stays that way. It'd be nice to have a day of just being done with things & not having anything pop up or break down. It's bright this morning & supposed to warm up into a nice day. We need it.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
Yesterday was going OK until the internet crapped out. It was a tiring drive over & back, but the appointment went well enough. Between the net issues & allergies, yesterday & this morning have been trying.
We have to go shopping & I called in my med order. It'd be nice if the rest of the day went smoothly. These yuck days have been rough.
That's it for, have a good weekend.
Cya...
I'm not sure why, but for some time now Thursday mornings have been obnoxiously loud. There's always noise; trash trucks, buses, birds, cars, people, mowing, etc... It's really annoying & impossible to sleep through.
My roomie has an appointment this afternoon. Today's going to be a little busy. I'm not sure how long this will take. The tomorrow is Friday shopping.
That's it for now, I need to get around. Take care.
Cya...
It's a bright Wednesday & the week should be warmer. I thought we might be rid of the overnight 40s, but some will linger for a bit longer. Until then, the covers stay & the house is shut. I don't need it to get hot, but warm would be nice.
We have errands to handle today & an appointment tomorrow. Maybe this week can be salvaged. That's be novel.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
After a dark, stormy start of the month, there remains the ongoing drama of the neighbor dealing with his tree. I'm not sure why it's taking so long. The people he hired seem to be part-timers & then again everything is drenched.
Now the city has decided to repave the roads on either side of my block. They need it, but not right this damn moment. April is being annoying. I hope this is for the duration.
It's brighter this morning, but I still feel off. It's been dark, stormy & cold. The tree cutting brought a lot of noise, mess & allergen ridden debris. Now, there's the noisy, smelly ordeal of paving roads that will last until the 15th.
So much for easy mornings.
Take care.
Cya...
It's still cold, but at least it's bright this morning. I don't feel the greatest, but it was a lot easier to wake up. We have to go shopping soon. Besides normal stuff, so far the only thing on our to-do list is an appointment for my roomie.
The neighbor is clearing a tree out. Part of the yard is covered in branches until they come & clear it out. It was noisy & sent a lot of crap into the air. The tree was a problem, still I hate to see it go.
There isn't much in the way of articles. Everyone's too worried about what the orange stain is doing. They're waiting to see the fallout. That man needs to die.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
It started Tuesday, the winds were rough & drove in the dark, stormy weather. It's been cooler, dark, storming & windy since. I didn't do well Thursday, yesterday was rough, this morning I feel like crap. The problem is the storms, rain & dark are supposed to be here until tomorrow morning. That will be another bad morning. Then it's supposed to cool down a lot overnight. This weather is being very hard on me.
Of course, everything else is still happening; errands, house stuff, cats, etc... I felt OK for a couple of hours last night & then it was time to go to bed. Now, I'm back here again, not waking, achy & spent. Real dark, like night time, I can handle. It's this daytime drear that kills me. It's the damn greyness of it all. I couldn't handle being in the far North places that have the weird light levels for months. That might very well kill me.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
This isn't a good morning for me. It's stormed last night & still is raining. It's going to be dark all day again & probably until Sunday afternoon. I feel like crap. The stormy weather, darkness & temp drops have hit me pretty hard. We have shopping to do today. It's been a busy week & I have zip energy left.
Other than posting about all the crap the orange stain is doing that's about it. We need better weather, more sunlight & a good stain remover. Take care.
Cya...
It's storming again & probably will be until Sunday. This weather is being really hard on me. I'm waking dehydrated & sore. It's been hard trying to really wake up in this drear. My blood pressure has been low until later in the day & that makes me feel pretty off.
We need the rain, but the storms can go elsewhere. I need the sun to shine, not all this gloom. We have some errands later. Maybe the rain will let up for a bit.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
The wind blew all night & kept waking me up. It was weirdly warm & slightly muggy. What sleep I managed left me sore & dehydrated. I'm tired of waking up worse for wear than when I went to bed.
My mornings have gotten worse. I'm just angry that I woke up again. This entire week is supposed to be dark & stormy. The temps are supposed to chill down again. The rain probably won't quit until Sunday & the temps won't level out until next Tuesday. None of this is making my mornings any easier.
I haven't been in a good place for a while. I'm not sure that's a thing I can muster anymore. If I can't, I really wish it just all stop.
Take care.
Cya...
It's the 1st day of April, a day for fools. We don't have much planned for today. It's a little cooler, but somewhat bright this morning. The rest of the week is supposed to be stormy. Hopefully, it won't get bad. We need rain, not storms.
There's the typical stuff coming, bills & 1st of the month errands. There's a few appointments. It'd be nice if the drama kept to a minimum. I know that's a big ask.
That's all for now, take care. May April be kind ot us all.
Cya...
