2nd Half Of February...

 

The spotlight of the mid month focused on Valentine's Day & a little over 2" of rain.  It's still overcast & the rain chilled us down some.  Then again it's still Winter.  February is usually our roughest month, but March isn't always easy.  

The only article I saw that looked interesting turned out to be just an abstract.  I never found the actual piece, but the topic was interesting.  It was concerning adolescent & young adult (AYA) involvement with the fight against HIV.  While most cases of HIV are now 50+, among the new transmissions, this group between 10 - 30, is the most apt to test HIV+.   Since so many 1st wave HIV fighters have fallen or aged out, these people's engagement is very important, if not critical.  I hope to see more on this topic.

That's all for now, take care.

Updates, Mention & Happy V-Day...

The car is back, but that was expensive.  Still, we need it functional.   We'll take the van in late, next week.  I'll need to get labs drawn next Wednesday or so.

I forgot to mention that yesterday was my strokeversary.  It's been 7 years since the event.  So far, things seem to be doing alright for that matter.

Happy Valentine's.  I hope it's everything you need it to be.  Take care.

More Car Issues & Waiting...

 

This post won't be long because I'm getting around late & I'm irritated.  We're still waiting to hear on my roomie's car & the van's issues are more serious than we thought.  We don't know how bad because our mechanic wanted to send to someone else.  We're waiting until the other car is back to us.

Other than that, there isn't much happening here.  It's supposed to rain tonight & tomorrow.  If it does, that'd be the 1st real rain for the month.  The month is almost halfway through & we haven't had enough to even register.

That's all for now, take care.  Happy Jason Day.

Thursday Brief...

 

The van has to go to the shop today.  This won't be fun.  We're having to arrange a ride for after since the other car is also in the shop.  I'm tired of cars needing repairs.  

There wasn't much in the way of articles.  Most were still over funding issues & actions against the cuts.  The orange ass & his ilk just want everyone to die.  

That's all for now, take care.

Issues...

 

More car issues arrived.  Hopefully, it's nothing big.  Still, the other car is in the shop, so this will be interesting to handle.  I don't need this much agitation in my life.  Add to that, the internet went out again last night.  At least it wasn't out long.

We'll handle trash & some things we'd normally deal with later in the week.  Thanks to the car issues, we don't know how things will go. 

So much for limiting stress.

Dark Tuesday...

 

This will be a short post.  It's dark.  We could get rain today & we need it.   This area didn't meet it's monthly average for January & there hasn't been any precipitation this month.  I hope it does enough to cover the difference, then move on out of here.

Saw a blip of an article at HIV.gov.  It was about the importance of pharmacist concerning HIV.    I've often trusted my pharmacist over my doctor.  Meds are their area & they tend to better informed.   Check with your pharmacy & see what services they offer.  I bet it's more than just getting orders refilled.

That's it for now, take care.

Odd Temps...

 

It could get to 80° today.  It's just the 2nd week of February.   It's likely there could be a drop in temps some this month or in March.  While I appreciate the warmth, the sudden shift isn't easy.  

There weren't many articles this morning.  Most were still talking about funding & fallout from the orange asshat.  It looks like a lot of people were more focused on the Superbowl halftime show. 

We're still waiting on news about the car.  I'll need to get bloodwork next week for telemedicine in March.  On a high point, it's just 27 days until the time change.

That's it for now, take care.
