It's December 31, 2020. There are only 14 hours left in this year. January 1st won't solve all our problems, but maybe it'll give some hope & pep us a bit.
The trash is out of the house. Plans are made. We've done fairly well in 2020 considering... Best wishes to everyone. Light candles, drink drinks & sing songs for those no longer with you. May 2021 be the start of something good for all of us.
Take care, be safe, be kind.
For the last time in 2020, Cya...
Last year, on December 27th, I woke after a really bad night & was very sick. It progressed until the 30th, when I went to the clinic. I was sent to the hospital for pneumonia. It was pretty awful & now we're wondering if it was COVID19. My symptoms better fit that, than pneumonia. I got myself out of there on New Year's Eve. It took forever to recover.
It's nearly the end of 2020 & I'm trying not to get ill. No more hospital trips. If what I had was even a minor case of COVID, you don't want that bug. Whatever I had was far harder on me than any pneumonia I'd dealt with before.
Let's wrap up 2020. Take care & be safe.

BTW - It's the last trash day of the year.
Woke to the seasons' 1st seriously gloomy morning. It was overcast & threatening cold rain. We'll be cloudy all day & have precipitation chances for the remainder of the year. What a way to go out 2020. Wouldn't want anyone to have a nice day, would you? We need a little rain to meet the monthly average. Still, it'd been nice to in on a sunny day.
Take care.

There are only 3 days left in 2020. I'm really hoping they go off without a hitch. I'd like to make it through the year without a major illness or hospital stay. I want things to wind down smoothly. That may be a pipe dream.
Orange trumpius signed the Covid relief bill finally. I found & got paywalled by an article over the Covid vaccine & safety for HIV+ people. So far, what I've read hasn't suggested any additional risks for those living with HIV.
Some people are refusing the vaccine. Of course they are. OK, hello Darwinism. Some places are considering vaccine passports requirements for entrance into their country. It wouldn't surprise me if some businesses followed suit.
Take care, may 2020 end well for you.

Excessive advertising & paywalls have always been an issue when I've been looking at HIV articles. They've always been bad, then they got intolerable. Now, some of them are completely unavoidable & very preventative for valuable info to be disseminated to the public.
I understand these sites have bills. However, the people who could truly use the info they're reporting can't afford all these paywalls. In a single morning's search for articles, I can easily hit 3 - 5 paysites. That's a lot of articles I can't read or bring to this blog. If I'm lucky, another site will also report on the matter & not have a paywall. That doesn't always happen & it usually takes a while.
There should be sites where people can stay up to date on health issues. If not, it will only leave sites of lesser quality & credibility for health info. That's how misinformation & conspiracy theories get started.
Take care.

There are 5 days left in 2020. 3 more & we're at my anniversaries. Mid December marked the 21st year since the last time I smoked a cigarette. My nonsmoker status is now legal & can buy booze or cigarettes. Soon my HIV status will be legal as well.
OK folks, can we try to finish out 2020 with more hell drama? It'd be nice. Take care.
