From 1 End To The Other...

 

It's still freezing here.  We'll be lucky to get over 20° today.  It won't get warmer until Tuesday.  There was more snow/sleet.  Some sites say as little 1"+ to just over 3".  It's hard to tell with the drift, but I'm think there was about 2" on the van.  That'd make about 6"+ for us.  I tried to clear the porch & van.  The van went alright, even though there's already a dusting on it again.  The back porch is going to have melt some.

There were 2 incidents this morning for the blog.  Occasionally, I get commentary.  Unfortunately most are long-winded pitches & testimonials about how a "doctor" provided them with traditional African medicine that worked miracles.  Now, they're no longer burdened with HIV.  Guess, what this "doctor" can do the same for others, just follow the link.  I always delete these posts.  Those links will only to frustration & harm.  If there was a miracle cure, some pharma company would've already snatched it up.

The other issue happens with articles.  I find pieces that might've been helpful, but they're written at such a level, even I'm having to resort to a dictionary & Wikipedia.  They're fine for professionals, but not lay people.  I saw a piece over HIV treatment & cognitive issue prevention & another over using modified cells to fight the virus.  Both may have useful, if the authors had aimed the pieces are at broader audience.  

Freezing temps, snow, hoax commentary & over written articles made up my morning.  

Take care.

Snow's Here...

 


It's not going to be above freezing until Tuesday.   The snow began last night & there's supposed to be more coming.  Snow isn't easy to measure.  It depends on the kind of snow, where it fell & if it's a drift.  There's been postings of 3.25" - 7"+ for my area.  Both or anything in between could be right.  Where they measured matters.   I cleared the porch & the van's windows off.   There are parts barely covered & some deep patches.  I'd say the average was a little of 4".

It's cold & my hands are hating typing.   This is it for this post.  Take care.

Just Before...

 

The weather is supposed to get bad soon.  From this evening to Tuesday could be under freezing.  Thats mean faucets will be running & the stoves will be on.  This won't be fun.   We could anywhere from scant to blizzard.  I'd like nothing, but I doubt that will happen.  This time of year brings little good for me.  

We'll do what we can.  The house will be as ready as it can be.  Shopping will get handled today & possibly not on Monday.  It'll depend on how bad things get.  It may be Tuesday before I can hit the stores again.  

Oh well, here we go.  I'll get showered & then we'll go shop.  Take care.

Last Warmish Day...

 

It's supposed to be seasonally warm today.  Then it's supposed to nosedive until the start of next week.  We're supposed to get below 0°.  No one needed that.  It certainly wasn't wanted in this house.

Articles were limited again this morning.  I'm not surprised.  Attentions are focused on the weather, Florida's ADAP BS & the orange asshat.

That's about it for this morning.  Take care.

Not So Great...

 

Winter is getting to me; I'm cold, achy & anxious.  This week hasn't been easy so far & it's going to get worse.  Sunday night the internet went out.  It was back on by the morning.  But Monday morning, I was dealing aches, nosebleeds & then the car had an issue.  Tuesday's appointment started early & lasted throughout the day.  We didn't have everything wrapped up until around 4 PM.  This morning I woke to no internet again.  Optimum won't even give time estimates any more.  There's supposed to be bad weather all weekend.  I'm just exhausted already.

There was nothing going on last night, but I still felt anxious.  My body felt like it was vibrating, even though I was OK.  I'm tired of everything being a challenge or problem.  

There are some improvements happening for my roomie.  There are plans.  I should be happy, but everything these days makes me anxious.  These are good things & need to happen.  I'm just worried about the process, fall-out & possible disasters.  

I haven't been in a good place for a long time.  I don't see that happening anytime soon.  I'm on edge.  Too much could screw up or change badly.  The worse thing is, so little of these things are in our control.

Life shouldn't be like this & I realize so many people have it a lost worse than I do.  If I was them, I really think, I'd already checked out of life.  None of this is worth being this constantly anxious & distressed.

That's all for now, take care.

Early Outing...

 

There's less an hour before we have to be out of here.  We'll be in & out a lot today.  It's freezing & will be for a bit.  This upcoming weekend could be seriously cold & possibly snow.  I hope most of that doesn't happen.  

The new car had it's 1st hiccup.  It wouldn't start yesterday.  They said it was the battery, which has been replaced.  I hope that's it.  I can't deal with more car crap.

That's it for, have to get around.

Another Busy Week Begins...

 

It's still cold, but better than yesterday.  I need to get cleaned & go shopping.  After that, we'll have some errands.  There won't been any mail today, so that adds to tomorrow.

There's an early, long appointment tomorrow.  It'll keep us going most of the day.  This shouldn't be hard, just annoying & drawn out.  

My roomie has stuff filling up the rest of the week.  I don't particularly have much until the end of the week.  I'm glad, this weather is no friend of mine.  It's making sleep rough.  The dry air due the cold & heaters is harsh.  With the fuzz from blankets & allergens, I'm left coughing, sneezing & wheezing.  All that has lead to itchy eyes & nose bleeds.  

That's all for now, take care.
