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.

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.

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.

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.

OK, I give. I've always been able to set up a network before. It drove me nuts & pissed me off during the process, but I got it done. Not this time. I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried everything I know & watched a lot of videos. This PC still isn't sharing. I called for a tech & he should be here this afternoon.
I need this to be done. I'm tired of fighting with it. That's all for now, take care.

There have been a lot of articles like this piece that detail how Gilead's lenacapavir will be sold for as little as $40 a year in up to 120 low income countries around the world. Awesome for them. But it sucks for the destitute people barely scraping by in other parts of the world, including the US.
When this med was 1st mentioned, it's going price was $40 - 50K. Brand name Sunlenca came along & dropped it to $39K. Now we have Yeztugo going for just under S30K. Some countries like South Africa negotiated with for a $60 per year price tag. Now this generic version is going for $40K, but can't be sold in the US.
They won't allow the generic in the US & the version available costs over 700 times what will be available elsewhere. Yes, the US has money, but a lot of its people don't. This is why people get upset about helping others before they help their own.
While a lot of the world get's charitable grace, we're left holding the bag & paying the bill. That's my rant for this morning. Take care.

November showed up with baggage. It's started with a time change on a dreary Sunday morning. I need to setup the new PC, but it's such a pill. Getting all the systems to talk to each other again is never fun. It'd help if it were brighter & less muggy.
I have no real plans for the holiday season or am I that revved up about them. Halloween was barely a blip on the radar this year. I can count the number of house's I saw decorated on 1 hand. I drove through a part of Fort Smith, that used to go full out for holiday decor; not a thing, not even a pumpkin.
There probably won't be any cheap chocolate this year. There wasn't last time around. The stores are ordering less & most of it is just normal candy in different wrappers. Maybe holidays are becoming a thing of the past. I'll miss the decorations & lights. They were some of the few things that made this hellish time of the year bearable.
I'm 2 months into being 60 & it sucks. Nothing has gone as well as it should. More stuff keeps getting worse. It'd be nice if this election did something positive, but it probably won't. Just a 133 days until daylight saving time. Just 4+ months of hating this.
Do better November.
Cya...
