Another Loud Saturday Morning...

 

This makes the 3rd Saturday morning in a row I was woke up by some horrible noise.   Heavy trains moving so fast they sound like small aircraft are a given these days.  Add wet or cold tracks & the noise is even more intense.

But these last Saturdays the source has been over zealous yard work.  Each time, it's been just after rain, but still they mow, trim, weed-eat & make their cacophony of seussian noise with their yard machinery.  This morning was a tree being taken down by obnoxious chainsaws.  Then there were loud trucks taking things away.   Racket & asshats always seem to go together.  Both are loud & annoying.

Not Good Morning...

 

I'm running late.  I didn't sleep well & jolted awake.   I got agitated when the net dropped out on us right before going to bed.  Then the outside noise kept waking me.  I fell back asleep & then overslept.  Noise startled me awake & now I'm running late.

Optimum sucks & is somehow worse than Suddenlink.  I blame the fiber.   Ever since they shifted to fiber, the net's been down a lot more & takes the cable with it.  The worst part of it is that's rarely an issue near us, they don't give not repair time estimates & they never say what happened.

I'd call Optimum rude, but you're mostly dealing with AI crap.  When you do get a person, they rarely have enough experience to help you.  That's if you can understand them.

That's all.  I need to head out.

Injectables & Adherence...

 

Since the beginning of HIV treatment, the game has been the same.  Medications have to be accessible, tolerable & reliable.  Then there's adherence.  The best meds in the world won't matter if they aren't taken regularly. 

90 - 95% adherence is what's needed for HIV meds to be effective & help prevent resistance.  The aim was to create regimens that were accessible with ease of regimen maintenance.  We went from handfuls of pills to a few, to a single pill.  Now there are injectable options given weekly, monthly, quarterly & at larger intervals.  Until a cure is found, they'll probably aim for annual injections.

For many adherence is a serious challenge.  Injectables could be a much better option for many.  After taking handfuls of pills daily, a single dose at wide intervals would be astounding.  Even if it was a weekly pill, that would be a drastic improvement.  

Adherence makes this all work.  Any threat to that is a threat to that person.

Mid-April...

 

I'm trying to get more sleep, but these hazy mornings aren't helping.  I'm still tired.  Things could get chilly weekend.  I was hoping to be to a point where it was warmer, brighter & we had more of the BS on our plate handled.  That's not happening.

Yesterday's outing didn't go as well as hoped for.  There's more left up in the air.  The bees are still here & I'm beginning to think the guy we called flaked out.  

I wish I could post something about HIV or less negative.   There weren't any good articles & I haven't had anything good to post about in a long time.    This is it for today.

Take care.

Another Tuesday Outing...

 

We have another outing.  At least it wasn't super early this time.  We'll head out soon.

I slept better, but not so much on the waking part.  It's cloudy & may rain tonight.   Mornings like this aren't good for me.  Then again nothing much regarding my sleep has been all that great for some time.  

We have things to handle & I'll get through them, but I'm already tired.  I wish I had something that would make all of this easier on me, but I don't.  I'm doing what I can & it's seems to be less & less.

I need to get around, take care.

Such A Monday...

 

I didn't sleep well last night.  Everything kept making noise.  The stupid cat kept charging the window to shoo an outdoor cat.  I had to push her out of my room & close the door.  She tried to get  in & rattled the door for a while.  It made my room stuffy.

I tried to call for a refill with my pharmacy, but my medical provider hadn't provided new refills.  Now I'm waiting for that.  It'd be nice if people could just do their jobs.  

There's a lot going on & there will stuff up in the air for a while.  I'll be lucky if crap settles down before Summer starts.  A lot of people just need to die for making everyone else's life so much more difficult.

That's all for this morning.  I still have shower, go shopping & yes I'm running late.

More More More...

 

We had a bit of good news Friday & I should've known that wasn't actually a good thing.   A single thing off our load & we got more dumped on us almost immediately.  Besides the ongoing issues with this damn house.  There's another health issue & the asshat bees have returned.  I can't do anything about either issue.  

We're still finding out things & who knows how long this take.   Of course the weather is supposed to crap out.  Add to all of this, a male cat has decided he's a singer & won't shut up.   He's been going all morning.

Yesterday was hard.  I'm not sleeping well.  I spent most of the day with a low, anxious buzz.  I'm so over it even my cheeks feel tired.  I'm want everything to shut up & work.  If this is all that's left in my life, just let me off the ride.
