There's only 13 days remaining until Thanksgiving, 43 until Christmas & 49 left in 2026. The year is slipping away. Another year has nearly gone by & my life has little to show for it except for more frayed edges & wear.
We have sort of ideas for scant holiday plans. Halloween came & went. It was a blink & miss it moment. The Winter holidays have never been that big for us. We used to try, but it was just tiring, expensive & anticlimatic.
It's sad to see the holidays fade. They were something to look forward to throughout the year. What's left for people to anticipate? No Christmas catalogs, few holiday specials & little festivities at all; we've succeded in killing the joy & spirit of the season.
Take care.

The mail doesn't run on Veteran's Day, but we'll still hit the mail place. We didn't go yesterday. We need to pay a bill & take the van out. Hoping for no surprises this time.
The articles were scarce & mainly pointing out research milestones for long acting injections. Those were sort of a given. Of course they're performing better as far as maintanence is considered over daily pills. 180 pills vs 1 injection, the odds were always against the oral medication.
I don't have a lot to post on this morning. Take care.

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.

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.

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.

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.
