Not As Planned...

 

Things didn't go as they were hoped for yesterday.  My roomie will need to handle more with her current medical situation.  Between that & a dental appointment, things are going to be busier than normal for the next several weeks.  It seems we seldom get our preferences an more.

We'll go shopping in a bit & handle a couple of errands.  After that, we should be done for the day.  It's supposed to get hot this weekend.   It is July.

That's it for now, take care.

A Little Rush...

 

In a bit of a hurry this morning.  We have to be out of here soon.  My roomie has an appointment.  Not a problem, but I had some stuff to handle & of course other things had to try to pile on.  Other stuff is just going to have to wait a bit. 

There's been a reprieve from the heat, but not the humidity.  By Saturday, the Summer temps will return.  It'd be nice to ditch the humidity, but that probably won't happen.

That's it for, take care.

Decent Day Anxiety...

 

I don't have that many "good" days.  I'm lucky to have decent, OK days.  I don't like talking about them, especially while the day is still occurring.  They make me anxious.  I can't remember a day in the last year that was going alright that there was an almost immediate case of fuckery.  Not something me or my roomie caused, but something beyond our control that was screwed with us;  car issues, power outages, internet issues, seriously bad weather...

Yesterday was being an OK day until around 6 then the water pressure all but died.  Some fiber workers broke another water line again.  The water was luckily restored in a few hours, but it's taken a lot longer than before.  Then all the lines have to cleared of yick, off-colored water, including the ice maker.  Was it a big thing, no it didn't turn out to be this time.  Was it something we did or caused?  No, it was not.  Still, it caused stress, anxiety & trashed what had been an alright day.  

Bad days are bad days.  But it's gotten to the point where I'm almost afraid of having good days.  Too much is just waiting to happen.

Take care.

A Little Late...

 

It's a little in the Summer to be talking about seasonal change, but here we are.  It took longer to get to the Summer heat this year.  It was about the same time as fireworks, mowing & the town burning debris.  All that has made it a rough shift into the season.  I never handle seasonal change well, especially when it's abrupt.  It always seems to be that way anymore.

Changes like this screw with me.  It makes me feel off, my stomach goes south, sinuses are shot, sleep isn't always great, etc... I eventually catch up, but it can take a bit.  Until then, it sort of sucks.

That's all for now, take care.

Well Sorta...

 

I thought I'd found an article.  It was comparing the efficacy of 2-drug vs 3-drug medications.  I was formally on a 3, Triumeq & now I'm on a 2, Dovato.  

The piece seemed like a decent post subject.  Too bad, it was only an abstract, less than half a page.  The very brief point seemed to be that it found no difference in the performance of either regimen.  If so, I'll opt for the fewest drugs in the pill.  That would seem to mean less chance for complications.

Abstracts are better than paywalls, but just barely.  That's it for this morning, take care.

Not What They Used To Be...

 

This is the 3rd Summer in a row that's been a let down.   The dark of the year & my SAD dragged on into early June.  Only then did things brighten up & then it was blazing.   On the days it's not been hot & it's still been muggy to the point of being sweltering.  It's another hazy morning.  It shouldn't be AC hot today, but it's dreary & humid. 

My need for sun & seasonal lightness won't be met for another year.  I'll go into the dark of the year even more depleted than before.   There really is no point in any of this.

That's all my wallowing for now.

1st Of The Season...

 

Yesterday started off OK.  We went shopping, checked mail & got something to eat.   Mid afternoon, my body decided it was a good time for some gastrointestinal distress.  My nose had been running all morning, then I got queasy, soon after it was a day of bathroom  trips & diarrhea.   What set things off? Who knows, it could have been my meds, HIV, heat, something else entirely.   I'm hoping that's run its course.

Yesterday was the 1st day of the AC for us.  It helped, especially with how my stomach was acting.  Having stomach issues during the Summer, is kind of torturous.   

Summer's here, so are it's issues & the AC.  Take care.
