DST Has Arrived...

 

There's a lot going on in our lives & a lot of it isn't great.  I have & will post more about that, but not today.  Something I've been waiting for has happened, the time change.  I'm normally not a fan of time or seasonal changes, they're hard on me.  It'll still be rough for me, but at least there's a chance for more sunlight.   My SAD won't magically disappear, but this could help with that.  

Maybe tomorrow I'll post about gloom & doom, but not now.   There's an extra hour of light in the afternoon.  It won't start getting dark at 4 PM.  I want the dark of the year in my rearview mirror.  Maybe other things can start looking forward as well. 

That's all for now, Take care.

It's Here...

 

There were a lot of articles out, but most were the beginnings of ongoing research.   These were brief bits about what researchers are looking at, not what they've found.  A new research technique or method is important, but not a topic for a lay article.  Maybe when these ideas are fleshed out, they'll be something.

This was not an easy morning, but nothing this week has been.  It stormed hard all night & the noise kept waking me.  It's still dark & raining, so waking is has been difficult.   It figures this would happen this week.

Tonight is the time change.  We'll have more light.  Still, I never do well with the changes in the beginning.  This last few weeks have made sure it'll be harder than it needed to be.  There are some things that could've made the ongoing processes so much easier, but instead they added hazards & roadblocks.  To all that hindered us, whatever they may be, may only the worst of things come your way.

That's it.  Articles aren't ready.  Loud storms suck.  There's been too much on the plate.  Some people need to fall in a hole & never climb out.  Dark mornings are horrible.  At least the time change is here.

Take care.

Not So Great...

 

For the last several years, I've felt off & not as well as I should.  It's never been a solid thing I could ID & there were always other more pressing issues.  I'd tried to get rest & get through it.   The last couple of years have been harder, but again there was a lot of stuff to handle.  Since September it's been a cascade of issues & appointments.  I really hoped by now, most of this crap would be off our plate, but it isn't.  

Spring is coming & that means seasonal issues; benefit renewals, storms, yard work, etc...  Everything else is still hanging on & not getting settled.  I'm doing my best.

SAD has been a real issue this year.  I was hoping it had passed for now, it hadn't.  For a while I've woke jolty several times during the night & almost every morning.  This is exhausting & takes so much from what little I had left just to get my morning started. 

I need things to stop, to be over, at least for a little while.  No more waiting, getting things fixed, piles of unknowns or difficult idiots.  I'm not fine & I'm not even sure what my best is anymore.  I'm spent & need to be done.

A lot of times, I wish I'd never made it into adulthood.  It had nothing to offer that I needed or wanted.  I wonder what if I'd died at a midnight showing of Rocky, spinning under a disco ball at the rink or even dancing under the lights at a club.  That would've been a good ending.  Instead I'll probably die in some disgustingly substandard, abysmally predictable hellhole. 

It's dark out & supposed to storm.  The upcoming week looks to be the same.  Here comes more SAD & cortisol.   Even if the sun did shine, it wouldn't matter, too much shit is still there & not going anywhere.  Being this tired, swamped by BS & dealing with this life is more than I can handle.   I don't need a refund or exchange, I just want it all gone.

There's my murky morning rant.

Rainy Thursday After...

 

It's been raining since yesterday & shows little sign of heading out soon.   It's dark this morning.  Even with this rain, my allergies are still acting up.  We do need the rain, but not the storms or darkness.  

There won't be much happening today.  I have no interest in going out in this mess.  Bills have been mostly handled.   The rest hasn't show up yet.

My telemed appointment went alright.  It was a bit brief, but the new doctor didn't seem comfortable with the camera.  Now, I wait for them to set the next appointment.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Cloudy Morning For Telemed...

 

It's dark this morning.  The upcoming may be stormy.  We need rain, but not storms.  It's making for bad sleeping weather.  It was muggy & unseasonably warm last night.

My telemedicine appointment is at 1 PM.  I need to get around, eat & get showered.  This should be a normal meeting to go over lab results.   

Other an errand or so, that should be it for that day.  Maybe I can get this done before any serious rain happens.  That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

More Busy Week Stuff....

 

The week is still busy.  We got some things done yesterday, but not everything went as we'd thought it would.  That's causing some workarounds to be thought out.    

It's time to handle bank runs & bills.  We both have appointments tomorrow.  All my labs finally made it to the specialist. 

I'll be happy when some issues get off our plate.  They've been lingering too long & there isn't much more we can do about them.  There's always more stuff to just waiting.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Busy Monday...

 

It's the 1st of the month & the cycle begins again.  Besides normal things, there's an appointment today.  That means getting around a little earlier.  After shopping, we'll head out to handle that.

I'm trying to get a hold of my specialist & make sure all my labs arrived.  They're a pain to contact.  I have a telemed appointment Wednesday.

That's it for now, take care.

Hello March 2026...

 

I didn't say goodbye to February, it was a particularly unpleasant month for us.  There was so much breakage, expense & stress.  That fails to mention all the inconvenient waiting.   That month is never easy on us, maybe next year can be a little less craptastic.

Hello March, surely you can do better.  It's a very low bar.   We both have appointments this month.  There's still some waiting going on.  Still, we've done what we can.

February barely made it's rainfall average, January didn't, we're at least 0.5" short.  I hope March can make up for it without flooding.  So far 2026 isn't getting a good review.

That's all for now, take care.

Tree Groove...

 

Not much going on this morning, but I will say this, the trees are in the mood.  Tree pollen has been an issue for a while here.  Today was the 1st day the counts hit the high zone on pollen.com.  My eyes, nose & throat will be thankful when this calms down.  

That's about it for now.  Take care.

Cya...

Maybe It's Time...

 

I try not to get too political on this blog.  I do express my opinions of the orange asshat & his cult of maga idiots.  But maybe I should take a bit to make a point.

Assistance for HIV meds & providers is being gutted in the US.  Ryan White programs are being impacted.  I'm not a big trans supporter, but what's happening in Kansas is disgusting.  If that state can do what they want, then it might spread to others & for other groups.  Some states are wanting the right not to recognize same sex marriages.

If any of this affects you or someone you know, thank the damn republicans.  If someone in your life voted for these people, then they voted against you.  It's that simple.  This is a midterm election year, make sure you vote.  They're trying to make it harder to vote.  All that means is that they're afraid of losing.  

This isn't just about Gays, trans or people of color.  It's about anyone who isn't a 1%er or above, conservative, straight, white man.  I doubt anyone meeting those criteria is reading my blog, so this is aimed at you.  Just vote.

Cya...

The Last February Thursday...

 

This month is wrapping up.  February is never easy for us.  It's the month things break, have to be replaced or we wind up in the hospital.  I'm glad it's nearly over.  

We have no plans for today.  We're both spent after everything this month brought our way.  Tomorrow will be the last shopping trip of the month.  Next week, the new month will begin & things will start all over again.  Hopefully, without all the breakage.

That's all, take care.

Cya...

Optimum Prevention Method...

 

Other than abstinence, condoms are the best form of prevention.  There are many PrEP options, but they require access & implementation.  These meds do nothing to prevent other STIs & pregnancy.  Condoms offer similar protection & guard against more than HIV.  Besides being cheaper & more available, condoms don't require a medical visit.

This article is about the spread of syphilis, superbugs & other STI's on the rise in the US.  It's time to accept while PrEP is great, it & doxy aren't enough to deal with the rising numbers of other STIs.  Doxy does nothing to prevent herpes.

This is a good piece, give it a read.  Take care.

Cya...

It's Back...

 

Fix-It February is in full swing.  So much has broken then needed repaired or replaced.  This has been an expensive month for us.  The month is almost over.  The van's back, but that cost us a lot.  Hopefully, nothing else major will happen to it, before we can afford something newer.

So far, there's zip on our plate for today.  It needs to stay that way.  Both of us have had & still have too much going on.  We need a day of nothing.  This month has been tiring, expensive & frustrating.

That's it for today, take care.

Cya...

Morning Busyness...

 

This morning could be hectic.  We have business & busyness.  Shopping needs to be handled.  But now we're waiting to hear from a repairman about fixing the fridge's ice-maker issue.  The van should be finished today as well.  All of this had to be on a frigid, Monday morning. 

Other than that, there's just normal stuff going on.  Hopefully, this goes smoothly today.  All my labs are in & they look mostly reasonable.   

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Not Just...

 

I see articles about how HIV is addressed dissimilarly due to differing patient  demographics.  These factors include race & ethnicity, sex, rurality & social vulnerability.  It's accurate to say these distinctions can & do impact HIV treatment, but there's something being left out.  These traits affect groups no matter what the issue. 

Any of these factors or combination of them can push a person further from the standard of care given the mainstream population.  I'm gay, rural, poor & on disability.  My access to everything is very limited compared to a middle class person living in a metro area.  Still, that affects everything, not just my HIV treatment.

Too many articles are written as if these were isolated assaults those HIV+.  Disparity in treatment has always been a reality.  It shouldn't be, but it is.  In many incidents, the more conventional, metro & affluent a person is, the better they will be treated.

Stigma & disparity are a given in any situation where there's a power imbalance.  From what I can tell, it's not a fight that can be won.  You can focus on it & waste a lot of effort, but it's unlikely any lasting change will come about.  Sorry, but society sucks.

Cya...

More On...

 

I'm trying not to be bouncing off the walls anxious, but it's not going well.  It's the proverbial domino effect of crap.  I still don't have the van back, they didn't get finished.  I thought that would be the worse news I got yesterday.  I was wrong.  The ice-maker in the refrigerator isn't working & it's causing a small leak.  Of course this happened on Friday & we can't get anyone until Monday.

I've been trying to write about the return of the little blue flowers in the yard.  Normally, they can make me happy, but that's a tall order this year.  They still make me smile.  Warmer, brighter days are on the way.  Just 15 days until the time change.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Waiting Still...

 

My lab results are slowly coming back.  I'm still waiting for the mechanic shop to call about the van.  That got expensive fast.  It should be ready sometime today.

I found this site, The Well Project.  It's an HIV site concerning women & girls.  This is the 1st site I've seen dedicated in such a way.   It's about time.  Give it a look.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Now For The Waiting...

 

I did get labs drawn yesterday.  Some have already had results posted.  So far, they're fine.  We also got the van to the mechanic.  Maybe this place can fix it.  That'd be nice.

Other than waiting to hear back on these things, I don't have much going on.  I hope that sticks.  There's been enough going on lately.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Trying To Get Labs...

 

It's that time again.  As much as I dislike getting labs drawn, I hate the process even more.  Every once in a while things go smoothly.  Those are the flukes.  Normally, I have to make several calls to chase the orders down.  I wish I could just order them myself & skip this step.  I hate the hoops.  I'm waiting to see if this gets in this morning or if it will be a tomorrow thing.  

I saw an article on HIV literacy.  That should've been an interesting piece.  It turned out to be a basic vocabulary list concerning HIV.  I'm not sure if it's a case of poor writers or that the authors think the readers are too ignorant to supply a better piece.  Either way, it's annoying.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Hazy Tuesday...

 

Just a quick post.  So far there isn't much going today.  It's pretty hazy & windy out.  I did come across another article of negligence or malpractice leading to possible HIV exposure.  This article details how a nurse working in a Texas jail may have exposed a dozen or more men to HIV by reusing needles.  At least 1 inmate was HIV+.  Now these men are taking PEP & being tested.  This kind of exposure happens way too often.

Cya...

3rd Monday of February...

 

We have shopping & some errands today.  There won't be any mail due to President's Day.  Later in the week I'll need to get labs drawn for telemedicine.  We'll also have to drop off the van again to see if they can fix it.

Other than having a friend by on Thursday, that's all we have on schedule for the moment.  If stuff comes up, we'll see.  That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

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.

Cya... 

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya....

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.

Cya...

It Got Warm...

 

In the last week it's gone from frigid to unseasonably warm.  There won't be sinks dripping or night heaters for a bit.  It's easier on the breathing, but it came with issues.   

Fairly high humidity followed this weird heat wave.  It made sleeping odd.  I've been used to cold weather sleep & have the bed decked out for it.   I was peeling off covers all night.  The humidity was made me more achy than usual.  Last night wasn't the best sleep.  Still I can appreciate the warmth.

It's February in Oklahoma.  There will most likely more rounds of cold weather.  Still, it's been nice to warm.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Warmer Trend...

 

It's been warmer the last couple of days.  There weren't drips or stoves turned on.  It was still chilly in the morning, but nothing that couldn't be heated back rather quickly.  We had the heaters for a bit yesterday morning, this morning's the same.  Not having heaters on overnight makes my breathing so much easier.

So far, we don't have any plans for today.  I hope things stay quiet.   That's all for now. 

Take care.

Cya...

1st Friday In February...

 

So far this month, we've had to take the car to the shop & replace a computer.  The car was a January leftover, still this month isn't starting off well.  It'll could be next week before the car might be fixed.  I think the computer situation is mostly handled.  I don't understand why every time we set up a PC, it's such a different process.  They're all running the same OS, but each system wants it's own special BS handled.

Tonight may be among the last few nights we need heaters on overnight for a while.  That'd be nice.  It'd help my breathing.  

We've got shopping & some errands.  That should be about it.  I need some time with nothing screwing up.  My nerves need to unfrazzle.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Too Much...

 

I've really needed some nothing days, they haven't been showing up.  I thought yesterday was going to be, but later in the afternoon, my roomie's computer died.  She offered to wait, but it needed done & we might've had to order something.  Now, there's the crap of setting up a new system.

I'm angry that I woke up this morning.  I really didn't want to.   The car screwed up, the computer crashed, the weather's sucked, the phones were being weird; it's more than I can handle.  My body reacted last night & my stomach starting cramping & making me nauseous.  I was in the bathroom a lot from it.  I didn't sleep well & I'm achy.  Waking up isn't anything but a promise of more BS to come.

That's all for now.  At least the trash ran.

Cya...

Maybe A Nothing Day...

 

I'm really hoping, other than taking trash out, this is a nothing day.  We've been going a lot, the weather's been bad & there's been so many other issues pop up.  The car's at the shop, I think the phones are working & I can't think of anything else that needs attention.  I'm cold, tired & frazzled.  I need a moment, actually a lot of moments.

I saw an article about HIV funding at the federal level.  It looks like good news.  Florida seems to be backing away from mass cuts, but other states aren't.   I also  saw this piece about explanting or the removal of breast implants.   It doesn't have anything to do with HIV, but it was a good read on a serious health concern.  Give them a look.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Phone Issues...

 

This is 1 of the few Tuesday's in weeks we haven't had appointments.  It should've been a nothing morning, but our phones are having an issue of not ringing.  I've been dealing with AT&T for a bit.  Their beginning AI sucks.

I'm waiting for a call back to finish this business with the phones.  I hope this happens soon.  I didn't more crap this morning.  This is why I hate waking up, something is always screwed.  

At least it was warmer yesterday.  I guess that's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Will There Be A Shadow...

 

This is going to be short.  We have early errands to handle.  The car has to go to the shop & hopefully they can fix it.  There'll be shopping & other pickups as well.

Today is Groundhog Day & Candlemas.  Hopefully Spring won't be delayed.  This cold weather is rough on me. Yet, I'm still seeing tufts of green grass & the bugs are probably doing just fine.

That's all I've got this morning, take care.

Cya...

Hello February...

 

The 2nd month of 2026 has begun, Happy Imbolc.  There isn't much going on here.  It's still cold, but it should get above freezing soon.  If the forecast holds, we shouldn't need to have faucets dripping over night for much longer.   It'll still be cold, just not frigid.  

We have to take the car in tomorrow & run errands.  This won't be fun & could be expensive.  We'll just have to wait & see.  I'm really over car BS.

That's about it for now, take care.  Have a good February.

Cya...

Goodbye January 2026...

 

January has run its course.   It's not been an easy month.  There were appointments, bad weather & now more car issues.   We didn't even get a full month into 2026 before it started to sour.   

It's frigid here again.  The faucets will be dripping all day.  Things won't get over freezing until tomorrow.  I'm over Winter.  I'm done with the stressful drama. 

I'm cold & too tired to care about much, so that's it for now.  Take care.

Cya...

Irritated...

 

I hauled trash to the curb on Wednesday.  It was crunchy snow/ice/slush all the way.  We don't take it out on Thursday because we never know when the trash truck will run.    Yesterday, it didn't.  I get why, but now I have to haul it back in.  We called about this yesterday & we're told things were just running late.  Trash is still on the curb this morning.  I call again & the people are irritated.   They acted like I was being rude for inquiring why my trash hadn't been picked up & when pickups would resume.  

Screw them, I should dump my trash on their office.  I'm not upset that the trash didn't run, it's slick out.  I'm pissed that they probably knew yesterday & I could have already had this handled. 

Oh well, a shopping trip is waiting for me to get around.  Take care.

PS - not about HIV, but this is a good piece over Long COVID.

Cya...

Another Early Outing...

 

I'm trying to get around this morning & it's taking a bit.  My roomie has an appointment & we need to head out soon.  I'm waiting as long as I can, so that I can call in an order to my pharmacy.  I hope we can turn the drips off before we leave.  

I'm still waiting for the garbage men to pick up the trash.  I saw them go the other direction.  That's not their typical route.  Maybe they adjusted it due to the snow.

That's about it for this morning.  Take care.

Cya...

Last January Wednesday...

 

We have a few things to handle today.  It's last trash day of the month.  Mail can finally get checked.  I almost did yesterday, but the carrier had just arrived & takes a bit for them to sort things out.  It'll be another chance to see how the roads are doing.  My roomie has an appointment tomorrow morning.  We'll probably have to take the long way.  Our normal route may still be too icy.

That's about it for this morning.  January is winding down.  Take care.

Cya...

Maybe Warmer...

 

It's supposed to get above freezing in the next hour.  It'll be nice to turn off the dripping faucets.  This weather & the heaters have been hard on my breathing, skin & eyes.  My hands are red & there's been a few nosebleeds.  I hate cold weather.  

The next few days should be above freezing.  We'll still need drips & stoves at night, but maybe not all day long.  That'd help my breathing out a lot.   There's still 40 days until the time change.  But the light's staying a bit longer every day.  Winter just sucks.

I'm going to try shopping today.  We'll see how that goes.  Tomorrow will be trash day & then on Thursday my roomie has an appointment.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Edging warmer...

 

It's starting to warm up some.  We won't get above freezing today, but should tomorrow.   The single digit temps look to be over for a bit.  There'll still be more cold snaps.  It's not even halfway through Winter & February is usually our worst month.  That's a pattern that could break.  Why not let January be the Winter Queen this year?

I'll try to go shopping tomorrow.  The roads should be more passable & the stores might've been able to restock more.  I hate Winter, it's a rough time of the year.  To all you anti-Summer people, here's your jam, go out & frolic in this mess.

Articles were mainly about the damage the orange stain has done to the global fight against HIV.  If only he & his would just die.  What a wonderful world it would be.

Cya...

From 1 End To The Other...

 

It's still freezing here.  We'll be lucky to get over 20° today.  It won't get warmer until Tuesday.  There was more snow/sleet.  Some sites say as little 1"+ to just over 3".  It's hard to tell with the drift, but I'm think there was about 2" on the van.  That'd make about 6"+ for us.  I tried to clear the porch & van.  The van went alright, even though there's already a dusting on it again.  The back porch is going to have melt some.

There were 2 incidents this morning for the blog.  Occasionally, I get commentary.  Unfortunately most are long-winded pitches & testimonials about how a "doctor" provided them with traditional African medicine that worked miracles.  Now, they're no longer burdened with HIV.  Guess, what this "doctor" can do the same for others, just follow the link.  I always delete these posts.  Those links will only to frustration & harm.  If there was a miracle cure, some pharma company would've already snatched it up.

The other issue happens with articles.  I find pieces that might've been helpful, but they're written at such a level, even I'm having to resort to a dictionary & Wikipedia.  They're fine for professionals, but not lay people.  I saw a piece over HIV treatment & cognitive issue prevention & another over using modified cells to fight the virus.  Both may have useful, if the authors had aimed the pieces are at broader audience.  

Freezing temps, snow, hoax commentary & over written articles made up my morning.  

Take care.

Cya...

Snow's Here...

 

It's not going to be above freezing until Tuesday.   The snow began last night & there's supposed to be more coming.  Snow isn't easy to measure.  It depends on the kind of snow, where it fell & if it's a drift.  There's been postings of 3.25" - 7"+ for my area.  Both or anything in between could be right.  Where they measured matters.   I cleared the porch & the van's windows off.   There are parts barely covered & some deep patches.  I'd say the average was a little of 4".

It's cold & my hands are hating typing.   This is it for this post.  Take care.

Cya...

Just Before...

 

The weather is supposed to get bad soon.  From this evening to Tuesday could be under freezing.  Thats mean faucets will be running & the stoves will be on.  This won't be fun.   We could anywhere from scant to blizzard.  I'd like nothing, but I doubt that will happen.  This time of year brings little good for me.  

We'll do what we can.  The house will be as ready as it can be.  Shopping will get handled today & possibly not on Monday.  It'll depend on how bad things get.  It may be Tuesday before I can hit the stores again.  

Oh well, here we go.  I'll get showered & then we'll go shop.  Take care.

Last Warmish Day...

 

It's supposed to be seasonally warm today.  Then it's supposed to nosedive until the start of next week.  We're supposed to get below 0°.  No one needed that.  It certainly wasn't wanted in this house.

Articles were limited again this morning.  I'm not surprised.  Attentions are focused on the weather, Florida's ADAP BS & the orange asshat.

That's about it for this morning.  Take care.

Not So Great...

 

Winter is getting to me; I'm cold, achy & anxious.  This week hasn't been easy so far & it's going to get worse.  Sunday night the internet went out.  It was back on by the morning.  But Monday morning, I was dealing aches, nosebleeds & then the car had an issue.  Tuesday's appointment started early & lasted throughout the day.  We didn't have everything wrapped up until around 4 PM.  This morning I woke to no internet again.  Optimum won't even give time estimates any more.  There's supposed to be bad weather all weekend.  I'm just exhausted already.

There was nothing going on last night, but I still felt anxious.  My body felt like it was vibrating, even though I was OK.  I'm tired of everything being a challenge or problem.  

There are some improvements happening for my roomie.  There are plans.  I should be happy, but everything these days makes me anxious.  These are good things & need to happen.  I'm just worried about the process, fall-out & possible disasters.  

I haven't been in a good place for a long time.  I don't see that happening anytime soon.  I'm on edge.  Too much could screw up or change badly.  The worse thing is, so little of these things are in our control.

Life shouldn't be like this & I realize so many people have it a lost worse than I do.  If I was them, I really think, I'd already checked out of life.  None of this is worth being this constantly anxious & distressed.

That's all for now, take care.

Early Outing...

 

There's less an hour before we have to be out of here.  We'll be in & out a lot today.  It's freezing & will be for a bit.  This upcoming weekend could be seriously cold & possibly snow.  I hope most of that doesn't happen.  

The new car had it's 1st hiccup.  It wouldn't start yesterday.  They said it was the battery, which has been replaced.  I hope that's it.  I can't deal with more car crap.

That's it for, have to get around.

Another Busy Week Begins...

 

It's still cold, but better than yesterday.  I need to get cleaned & go shopping.  After that, we'll have some errands.  There won't been any mail today, so that adds to tomorrow.

There's an early, long appointment tomorrow.  It'll keep us going most of the day.  This shouldn't be hard, just annoying & drawn out.  

My roomie has stuff filling up the rest of the week.  I don't particularly have much until the end of the week.  I'm glad, this weather is no friend of mine.  It's making sleep rough.  The dry air due the cold & heaters is harsh.  With the fuzz from blankets & allergens, I'm left coughing, sneezing & wheezing.  All that has lead to itchy eyes & nose bleeds.  

That's all for now, take care.

1st Frigid Morning....

 

This will be a short post.  It's so cold, my fingers are hating the keyboard.  It's still freezing & will be for a bit.  The last half of January remembered it was a Winter month.

There isn't much going on here today, but the week will be busy.  Most of that will fall on my roomie.  There are appointments to be kept & regular stuff to handle.  Add to that, it's a mail holiday tomorrow. 

That's it for now, it's cold & I hate it.
