Meh November Morning...

 

The 2nd Tuesday of November brings us clouds, a sort of car resolution & monitor issues.  It's overcast & difficult to function.  I woke late & it's hard to do anything.

The car issue is rigged, seriously, it's rigged.  Hyundai made their battery's positive cable assembly weird.  If you're using a factory battery everything is fine.  Use a standard, off the shelf battery & it's so loose it'll barely function.  They sell shims to make the connection tighter.  In our case, it got a cotter pin to make things snug.  If the battery is replaced, the pin will have to be replaced.  To have the dealership fix this would cost $700+ & it still might not work with any batteries not from the dealership.

My new monitor is having communication issues with my new PC.  They're both Dell & need to get over it.  I may have figured it out.  We'll see.

That's all this morning.  I'm running late.  Take care.

Quick Post...

 

This has to be quick this morning.  I don't have much time.  We have to get the car to the mechanic.  Here's hoping that goes well.  It's cold this morning.  The new PC is mostly together.   I did find a piece over HIV & food insecurity.  Give it a read.  It might alter how you feel about SNAP.

That's it for now, take care.

Reminders...

 

For anyone with a regimen, doesn't matter the kind, life seems to try hard to screw it up.  It's not that it's hard to remember to do this or take that.  It's just that it's so easy to get distracted, delayed or just forget.   That's what reminders, alarms & calendars are for.

Some people think they can remember to do everything.  Ha!  If most people could, day planners wouldn't be so popular.  Using a reminder doesn't make you lazy or undisciplined.  It doesn't automatically mean you have a cognitize disorder.  It just means you decided to be a bit organized & set up a reminder to ensure things get done.

For a long time, I've used reminders to keep track of my meds.  It's a little app that pops up on my PC when it's time to do whatever; take a med, take my blood pressure, order a refill, upcoming appointments, etc...  I keep a running doc for my pharmacy so I know when to reorder.  I have another doc noting when I opened my latest bottle of HIV meds.  That way I know how many I'm supposed to have.

There are many articles on using reminders.  Try some & see what's right for you.  For me, it's a combo; an app, some docs & a wall calendar.   They help keep me organized when everything else is demanding my attention.

Take care.

Short Annoyed Post...

 

The newer car screwed up yesterday & we can't get it in until Monday.  Just great.  It's a lot colder than I like & the clouds are making it dismal.   I'm starting on the new PC & nothing is as fast as I'd like.  But, it's going.

That's all for now.  I woke late & need to get around.  Take care.

November Friday...

 

I should've had the new PC finished, but I don't.  I wish I'd handled this during the Summer.  I would've felt more like it.  This was right when the time changed, the dark, the wet & the 1st of the month.  The monitor arrived late, I still have to pick it up.  It didn't get in until late yesterday.  I have to handle shopping, errands & laundry today.  I'm not sure how I'll feel after that.  So, most likely tomorrow will be the day.  I've already said that.  Maybe I can make it take this time.

I'm so tired already.  The season is already kicking me.  I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it is.  I wish I was in a situation, where someone could help more.  They could be the person who could get things done, but I'm not.  I'm tired of being.  Everything just seems like an insult, a jab or a kick in the face.  This is just trying.

Maybe something decent will come out of 2026 with this election.   

That's all for now, take care.

5 Mornings In...

 

I don't handle seasonal or time changes well, especially not when it's dark so early.  This time of the year leaves me frazzled & exhausted.   It wears on me quick.  Then there's the colder temps.  I'm pretty sure this how you get to a frozen, tundra in hell that never sees the Sun.  

The new PC is coming along slowly.  Every setting is just every so slightly changed, making things just a little more challenging.  The new monitor should be in today.

Maybe by next week, I'll have adjusted to this standard time BS.  Take care.

Yay & Of Course...

 

Oklahoma has the laziest voters, only 45% or so turned out to vote for the midterms.  My state looks red, but it's actually grey, due to lack of voters.  It may have still been red if they'd voted, but who knows.  

Congress went blue.  I bet the orange ass is fuming.  Maybe, he'll rage quit or just die.  I hope they repeal his crap, fix repro rights, stop ICE & start impeaching people.  

The computer tech showed & things seem to be working.  We have bills to handle today.  Some of it should've been done yesterday, but we didn't know when the tech would arrive.   OK, November let's try to be a good month.

Take care.
