Labor Day....

 

The 1st Monday of September is running as late as possible.  This holiday plagued me as a kid.  It was always in the way of my birthday.  Most people would be off with their families or out for the last trip to the lake.  Not that my birthday was ever any fun.  My family barely remembered it.   It was too early in the school year to be acknowledged, even though it was always listed like everyone else's.  I stopped taking part in those things after mine always got overlooked.  

We don't have any plans for this day.  It's just a Monday when the mail won't run.  There really isn't a perk in this for us.  

For those celebrating or whatever, have a good holiday.  Take care.

It's Still Here...

 

It's still hot & humid.  It looks to be that way for at least a week.  The forecast will probably change again, making longer.  For any climate change deniers out there, find a high cliff & jump.  Take a walk into the ocean & keep going.  I guess you could just opt for petting a buffalo, tiger or bear.  Either way, just be done with yourself.

September is sucking in a different flavor this year.  Swelter isn't usually on the menu.  I've got a feeling, it might be going forward.  Thanks people.

That's it for now.  After last night, I need a shower.  I'm tired of being salty & gritty.  It's been over a month since any significant rain.  The fire ban is on it's 4th week, maybe 5th.  This sucks.  Take care.

Late & Not Much...

 

I got a late start.  It's hard to sleep in this heat.  Waking is worse than usual.  But, I finally got around to being passably living.  

There wasn't much in the way of articles.  Just the orange ass cutting more HIV funds to Africa.  He's going to be single-handedly responsible for HIV/AIDS destroying the world.  I'd say skin all the maga & make a quilt, but damn that'd be a hideous piece of fabric & wasted craftsmanship. 

That's all for now, take care.

Not For Here...

 

There were some articles this morning, but none that fit here.  Those pieces were about theoretical research far removed from being practical anytime in the near future.  Then there were the pieces they can rant about, knowing there's little to actually be done in the short run; racial/gender inequality, stigma, hate, etc...

While pieces like those have their place, it isn't here.  When theory moves into more solid research or when someone has an actual, viable plan for the other issues, they can be discussed.  For now, let them stay on the net.

Today's the end of a busy week.  We have shopping & more bank/bills things, then some errands.  Hopefully, that's everything.  This has been a rough week.

Take care.

Nearly Forgot...

 

I nearly forgot to post this morning.  Waking up hasn't been easy due to the iffy sleep during this hot weather.  Too bad, the heat's here for a while.  It's time for 1st of the month bills.  We'll head & handle the bank stuff.  That's about it for today.

My telemed went as it always does.  There was a new, poorly prepared resident, having to read from a script.  It wasn't her fault, she was slapped into the position an hour before the appointment.  I have no idea what happened to the resident that was supposed to handle my appointment.  That's done for a bit.

That's all for now, take care.

Next Day...

 

The birthday happened.  I'm thinking we should've altered plans, but it's done now.   The drive over was iffy.  The movie was fun.  Repeat is not an option for the restaurant we ate at; pricey, meh food & poor service.  The biggest problem was the heat.  It hammered me.  The house never did really cool down, with us being gone so long & no AC running.   So, maybe we should've waited.  But, we had no idea how long this movie would be playing & the heat looks to be here for a bit.

I need to get around.  I have to shower, eat, do trash & head to my telemed appointment.  I'm tired just thinking about it.  Tomorrow we'll handle the bank & bills.  

That's it for now, take care.

Hello September & BD...

 

Like it or not, September is here & it brought my birthday with it.   This month & I don't typically mix well.  My birth month has always been hard for me.  Seems like it'd be my month, but that isn't the case.  Try not to be Sucktember.

Well 60 arrived, nobody asked for it, but it's here.  I really didn't need this.  It would've been fine never seeing this day.  It's not the number, it's what it represents, another year just waiting to be a horror show.  There should be an option just to hibernate from September to March, I'd take it.  Nothing in the midst of that matters that much to me anymore.  It's just cold, dark & difficult.

We're out of here soon, to go see a movie & get something to eat.  Take care.
