With so much going on with the government, social media & drug developments, it'd be reasonable to assume there'd be more articles out at the moment. But there aren't. I guess everyone is waiting to see how things fall before the post more on anything.
Today & tomorrow are supposed to be warm. Then it'll dive into frigid temps for the next few days. I'm over cold weather.
That's about it for now. Take care.

We're midway through January 2025 & I have to say it could've been better. Between the cold, snow, dark & being sick. this hasn't been the best start. It looks as if the cold's going to rev back up this weekend. No one needed that.
Other than trash & a mail, we don't have much planned. We still have 50+ days before the time change. It's about the only thing I'm looking forward to at the moment.
That's it for now. Do better January. Let there be a giant, orange splat.
Take care.

I've been HIV+ for a 25 years. Back then the county health department was the only resource within 30 miles of me for anything dealing remotely with HIV. All it could do was testing & provide condoms. They gave me some info for places in Tulsa, 120+ miles away. Thanks to how healthcare is in the US, I couldn't go to Fort Smith, 35 miles away. Not that Fort Smith had a lot of resources.
It's 25 years later & nothing has improved. There are more people living with HIV in the general, but still nothing specifically for HIV. The best improvements for me have been telemedicine & better drug availability. There are no resource centers, support groups, aid for anything to help you, etc... There's still nothing near.
With all the medical advancements, if people had really wanted to, HIV probably could've been under control 10+ years ago. But, people love to hate & make a profit. HIV is good for both. If someone near you is diagnosed with the virus, know this, it wasn't just their actions. It was due to ignorance, hate, fear & greed. Add in a lot of wretched meanness & vile stupidity as well.
Stigma will never go away for anything. It's too good a hate maker, divider. HIV & other illnesses will likely never be cured. They make too much profit. Welcome to capitalism.

I'm not sure what happened, but I forgot to do a post this morning. Not much happening today. I'm feeling somewhat better, still not great. We went shopping & handled some bills. The store was still sold out from the storm shopping. Mail hadn't run since last Wednesday, so everything was running late.
That's about for the day & I'll post tomorrow.
Take care.

COVID & RSV are still here, but they aren't the big culprits this winter. The flu, norovirus, pneumonia, regional bugs & colds are the issues this season. I hate Winter, I get sick & achy. There's always morning coughs, stiffness & aches. I think my roomie & got a bad cold. Neither is doing great, but not horrible either. The coughing, congestion, runny nose, aches & slight fever have been exhausting, but not doctor worthy. They'd probably just push ibuprofen, rest & hydration.
Winter sucks, being sick during, even if expected, sucks more. I'm still feeling a bit ick, but I think I'm getting better slowly. We're doing what we can here.
Take care.

It'll be over freezing soon, but the sun's already shining. The snow is starting to melt. It needs to go. Yesterday wasn't a good day for me. I didn't feel good & it got worse as the day went on. So far, I'm feeling better. I hope it holds.
I didn't notice any articles, so that's about if or this morning. I'm trying to get better.
Take care.
