Hail...

 

It stormed again last night.   It was abrupt & not really on the forecast until right before.  It rained about 0.5", but hail was the issue.  We can go for years without any serious hail.  Maybe we get some sleet or pea sized hail, but not lately.   This was the 3rd time in a couple of weeks we've had storms with notable hail.  People east of us got much larger hailstones & the storm did some damage.  This hail BS can go elsewhere.

That's about it this morning.  It should start warming up some.  It's bright this morning.  I actually got started on washing some seasonal things to be put away.  Maybe I'll get through more this week.

2nd Week Of May 2026...

 

The 1st week of May is in the bag.  So far it's been OK, maybe it'll stay that way.  Other than me having some basic appointments, there shouldn't be much happening.

I saw 2 articles, the 1st piece is about about the Bangor Maine area.  The state wasn't known as a HIV hotspot until about 2023.  A combination of social net failures, personal financial issues & cuts in health & welfare systems fueled this event.  It's been years in the making & now, all of this is worse than when it started.

The 2nd piece is about gut biome & immunity among HIV patients.  It's a limited piece but still a good read.  It might be a jumping point for those interested in the topic.

That's all for this morning.  We'll head for end of the week things; mail, shopping, errands...  Take care.

Noisy Trash...

 

Short post this morning.  The trash trucks were noisier than usual & woke me up.   Then I fell back to sleep & overslept.  I'm running late & I still have to shower.  I didn't see any interesting articles, so this is it.

At least it's bright today & supposed to be warmer. Take care.

Cya...

Gloom & Grass...

 

It's still overcast & chilly.  We might not make out of the 50s today.  To make things worse, there's a lot of mowing. The noise alone can be bothersome, but this year's different.   My roomie & I are both reacting to cut grass a lot this year.  Normally, it smells & might set off our allergies.  This year besides it stinking & setting off allergies, it's making us feel fairly ill & nauseous.   Hopefully, whatever's in the grass will die off soon.  This has been a lot for the last few weeks.

I've posted about aging with HIV before.  This is a good piece about aging with HIV.   It deals with the issues of HIV itself, the meds & comorbidities.  It's worth a read.

Take care.

Cya...

Gloomy Tuesday...

 

Not much happening this 1st Tuesday of May.  It's cloudy & will probably be dark all day  Forecasts keep changing on any chances for rain.  We'll deal with the last of the of house bills & run some errands.  That should wrap things up.

That's all I have this morning.  I need to get around so we can go handle the monthlies.   

Take care.

Cya...

May Begins & the Fourth...

 

Actual May business will start today.  We'll handle the bank, some bills & shopping.  Some will be handled tomorrow.  Then things will get dealt with as the arrive.   

Oklahoma decided it was windy season.  We've been having a constant, sometimes significant, wind for a while.   I've gotten to where the sound annoys me.  Maybe I'm just worried about what it'll break.

It looks like there'll be another midweek temperature dip & then it should get more seasonal.  I don't need hot.   But, I'd like to completely pack up cold weather things.

That's it for now, take care.

PS - May the Fourth be with You...

Mowers are Like Worried Dogs...

 

If our yard is looking shaggy, the neighbors are less apt to mow.  But let our grass get cut & look out.  It's like they're worried our lawn is outdoing thiers.  Then the mowing starts.    

Once another mower starts mowing, it's on.  Soon, there'll be more mowers, trimmers, clippers, etc...  It's like when a single dog barks & soon every neighborhood mongrel is baying, barking & yipping.  

Yesterday was the day of dueling mowers.  Everyone had to mow.  They had to trim & clip.  They made an awful, debris ridden racket.  Dust, cut grass & pollen flew.   Between all of that & the noise, my head wasn't & still isn't happy.  

I hate mowing.  I'd replace the lawn with low grow options & wild flowers, then just let it be.  Too bad we have fire ants & the ground cover would hide them.  

For now it's over.   Maybe soon my allergies will settle a bit.  That's it, take care.

Cya...

Still Chilly In May...

 

I appreciate the last 2 mornings have been bright.  Still, I'm past these overnight temps in the 40s.  It's May, the chilliest it should be is in the high 50s.  These temp drops are rough & I'm ready to be rid of all these blankets for the season.  Things need washed & aired out.  That's hard to do with these temps.

There's not much going on this weekend.  Monday will start the 1st of month for bills & errands.  We get done what we can as we can.  The water bill still hasn't shown up yet.  

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Hello May...

 

April closed out with the yard getting mowed.  It needed it but I'm not sure I did.   Allergies had already been an issue & then the cut grass added to it.  That's it's handled for a while.  This month starts off a little late for us.   Our normal start day is on a Sunday, so things will get pushed back a day.

It was bright this morning, even if the chill is back.  It's May, mornings shouldn't be this cool.  I have 2 appointments this month.  A regular with my medical provider & a dental cleaning. 

Hello May, try to be a decent month.

Cya...

Goodbye April...

 

This soggy, dark month is finally ending.  Maybe May can be a bit brighter.  April wasn't a terribly bad month, but it wasn't great either.  At least we met our rainfall average.  It's still a bit chillier than I'd like.  There's still overnights in the 40s in the forecast.

We don't have much going on today.  A friend came over & that'll be about the extent of today's activities.  I'm fine with that.

Take care.

Cya...

The Haze Remains...

 

April is ending in a haze.  This isn't making mornings easy.  The forecast doesn't show sunny days for a while.  That's not great for me.

May is almost here.  Maybe it will be a bit brighter.  There's a lot we had hoped would be handled this month, but that didn't happen.  The waiting limbo continues. 

There's not much going on today.  This is the last trash day of the month.  Other than that we'll check the mail & that's about it.

Take care.

Spring Issues...

 

Twice this week we drove by someone mowing/dealing with their yard.  That's expected this time of year.  But when we went by these yards they had something in them that sent me into coughing, sneezing fit.  Both times the coughing & sneezing last for some time.  This messed with me for hours.  

We've had a ton of rain, but that didn't help with these issues.  Actually, it made them worse.  I don't know if the moisture set something off or caused some mold.  But the rain didn't wash the matter away.

It's hazy & we're expecting more rain today.  We don't need more & I'd be fine if it didn't.  There's been little sunshine this week.  Oh well, there's always something to gripe about with the weather.

Take care.

Cya...

Night Issues...

 

Some of my roomie's health equipment went on the fritz last night.  There was noise, bad smells & some dust.  That led to late night calls & waiting.  She's still waiting on someone to arrive to handle the matter.  

It didn't set the place on fire, but it was a little unnerving.  We didn't know what had happened.  Most likely they'll just replace the machine.  Still, we're left waiting, because something had to go & break.

This didn't use to be a problem.  Service techs would come to & check on things every 6 months or so.  That stopped years ago.  It stopped before the last machine conked out & this was has been in the house since 2019.  I'm surprised it lasted this long.   

That's all for now.  Take care.

Cya...

The Weather....

 

In a little over a week, there's been a nearly 50° temperature swing, astounding pollen levels, storms, winds, hail & over 3.5" of rain.  This hasn't been an easy mid-month.  Most of it's cooler than normal, hazy & humid.  It's making pulling out of SAD very difficult.  The rain's needed, the rest of it was just crap.  Dark mornings, weird light & storm tension have left me a little rattled.  It'd be nice just to have bright, nothing days.  

I did see some articles that looked interesting.  Paywalls blocked them both.  Maybe I'll see the topic somewhere else soon.  I know these people need to get paid & that I'm always low on funds.  But, I doubt very many people could pay for all these paywalls even if they wanted to.  Who cares if they've got great information if no one ever sees it?

Cya...

More Storms...

 

It dumped over 2" on us yesterday in a mix of hard rain, wind & hail.   It was dark & loud.  When it passed, the sky stayed yellow until sunset.   We have chances for more heavy rain storms tonight.  The monthly rainfall averages have been met.

It's April & sometime during this month is our cat, Millie's birthday.  She turned 10 this year.  Not a kitten anymore.  Happy Birthday little boop cat.

Take care.

Cya...

It Was A Dark & Stormy...

 

Not a great morning for waking.  It's dark & has been storming for a bit.  Our area can't just do rain showers anymore, it's always got to be storms.  This has been loud & dark.  I have to go shopping in a bit.  That won't be fun.  

We're getting to the end of April & it hasn't been a great Spring.  There's still a lot going on that we have no real idea about.  Hard to make a plan without any solid info.  

Other than going shopping, there shouldn't be much going on today.  That's it for now.

Take care.

Cya...

Hard To Wake...

 

I've slept better the last couple of nights.  However,  the actual up waking wasn't so great.  It's been dark, overcast & threatening storms.  This is making for some rough mornings getting started.  It dampens the whole day.  

My roomie had an appointment yesterday.  It shouldn't have been any big deal, but sometimes driving to Fort Smith can be a hassle.  The last 2 times over have been.  It can take up any way from 30 minutes to an hour.  It all depends on traffic, drivers, weather & other uncontrollables.   It can be a very easy trip or absolute nuisance.

With these mornings & yesterday's outing, I'm a bit tired.  At least there's nothing really happening today.  That's needed for both of us.

Take care.

Cya...

New Merck Med...

 

Merck has a new drug med coming this May.  IDVYNSO is a combination of doravirine & islatravir.  It is not recommended for people currently on some meds, such as lamivudine.   It could lower the med's effectiveness & cause possible toxicity.  It's unclear how long a person would have to off lamivudine before they could start this.  This is the only non-INSTI 2 drug med without tenofovir given orally currently available.  

This could be a great new option for people.  These are newer meds comprising a new combo.  Islatravir is the only med in a new category of NRTTIs.  This a significant step.  

Give this piece a read.

Take care.

Cya...

Midweek Schedule Change...

 

My roomie has an appointment tomorrow, so we're handling something today instead.  It's not a big deal & at least the appointment isn't early in the morning.  

It's a nice morning, still a bit cooler though.  There's likely to be more rain as the month ends.  We've met our monthly rainfall average & then some.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya..

Aging...

 

While I've never read a anything solely devoted to the idea of HIV & premature aging, I've seen parts of other works reference the concept.  The research says it could be by as much as a decade.   Some think it's due to inflammation, others, just ware & tear of the immune system.   This piece addresses that.  It also states that treatment can lessen or even reverse the aging effects of HIV.

Give the piece a read.  I don't find many articles these days.  Take care.

Cya...

Missing Articles...

 

There haven't been many articles in a while.  Those that do get posted are mostly rehash & restatements.  This happens sometimes, but this time is different.  The dearth of HIV news seems to be due to a single factor, funding.  

Ever since tRump started screwing with monies that weren't his to handle; treatment, testing, outreach & research have begun to wither.  It's not just HIV, many areas of medicine are feeling it.  While the orange asshat may have led the charge, it's congress' fault for not doing more.  

Let's be clear, if you support tRump, MAGA, MAHA or  their other enablers, you are part of the problem.  You are helping to harm people.  Don't ever consider yourself a good person.   You're a vindictive twit who wanted to hurt people who weren't like you.  Problem for you it that things like this don't stay contained.  It will eventually take you with it as well.  Enjoy the ride.

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.  

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

Neighborhood Noise...

 

For a long time this neighborhood was pretty empty & little too quiet.  It bordered on creepy.  Then people moved in & there was more presence.  That in itself was not a bad thing.  Sure some of our neighbors are mow junkies, but that's not usually a problem.

For a while now, the traffic in our area has increased.  These aren't locals, they're passing through.  They're very noisy.  The trains running in our area have increased, gotten faster, longer & far louder.   I used to just sleep through trains, but now a lot of them wake me.  I'm not sure why, but we have an abundance of sirens at night.  They don't come nearby, they're just cutting through.  

This morning some asshat decided to mow at dawn with a giant mower.  It was loud & stupid.  I understand mowing early when it's hot, but we're may hit 80° today.  It also dumped nearly 0.5" yesterday afternoon.  The grass is still soaked.

I'm glad we have neighbors & the area isn't a ghost town any more, but the noise is ridiculous.  Still most of it isn't the people living nearby, it's jerks passing through, trains, sirens & landlords with huge lawn mowers.

There's my rant for this morning.  Take care.

Cya...

Back To Morning Ugh...

 

Even with the light, mornings have been really hard lately.   I wake up & I'm fine for a little bit & then it hits me.  It's not panic.  It's just a sense of everything being off & so much that I'm practically vibrating.  

My cat can vibrate when she's angry, but this is something else.  I'm not raging or panicking.  It's like I'm trying to expel or shed something.  Everything in the morning seems so much more urgent, demanding & loud. 

Whatever it is, it's overwhelming & tiring.  It takes me a while to shake it.  It's usually passed by the time my morning routine is done.  During that time, I'm an irritable mess.  Maybe this is my body finally dealing with all the SAD issues & trying to rid itself of it.  Whatever it is, I hope it fades soon.

Cya...

Enjoy The Sunshine...

 

It's sunny this morning & it might be the last bright morning for a while.  Storms & rain are in the upcoming forecast.  Again, we need the rain, but I need the light.  

I've been trying to get out of this funk I've been in for a while.  It isn't working well.  There's too much ongoing & newly added crap buzzing in my head.  The light won't stay more than a day or so.  

The weather could lighten up some.  It'd be nice if some things just fell in line & got out of our lives for a while.  Maybe.

Cya...

Rough Mornings...

 

I've been trying to get better sleep.  I think I actually am, it's just not doing any good.  It's a bright morning & I woke up well enough at 1st.  I didn't jolt or anything.  For a bit I'm fine & then I'm not.  I'm just lowkey anxious, irritated & overwhelmed.  

Things haven't been that great for me.  It's be a lot of going.  Now, it seems like I'm going to lose some things.  There's a sense of something.  Dread's too strong a word, but something unpleasant is headed my way & I'm not going to be able to avoid it.

I'm tired of losing, confrontations, stress, illness, feeling so spent, etc...  I'm really over sounding like a sound-bite.  That's my life, suck on repeat.  There is no better, it's only downhill.  Everytime I think there may be something else, I'm shown how wrong I was.

That's my meh post for this morning.

Cya..

Letting Go....

 

We're almost 100 days into 2026.  It was OK for a bit. But since then, I feel like I've just been sinking & getting mired in things around me.  I haven't felt well & things just keep going by & adding on.  

I don't have much for distractions or simple pleasures left in my life.  The main 1 had has gotten to the point of not being maintainable.  2  years ago, it was half the price & lasted about a month.  Now, with the price doubled it's going by way too fast.  Another thing, I'll let go of.  That's getting close to the end of things.   I guess this what they mean by not being able to have nice things.

I'll try to look at it in a way that I'm saving money & calories.  Still, it wasn't something I wanted to do.  But, there it is.  Another thing gone.  I'm done.

Not a good morning.

Cya...

Nothing New, Just Repeat...

Spring is supposed to be about renewal.  I'm not seeing that.  It's all just the same old, same old & sliding into worse.  To be supportive, I have to let myself believe something isn't just possible, but at least somewhat feasible.  The same patterns have played out again & now the slide has happened.  It's nothing new & I can only focus on myself for being complicit by trying to be encouraging.   That's on me.  

It's a couple of steps forward & then years backward.  I just need to accept, this is the best it's going to be & things probably only get worse from here out.  I'm not angry at anyone but myself, just a little disappointed.  

So much for happy renewal.   It's just the same muddy, BS trenches.  I should've known.

Cya...

It's Easter

 

Ostara has passed & Easter is here.  It's sunny this morning.  It doesn't look like there'll be much of that this month.  There's a 10 day steak where it could rain or storm.   The rain is needed, but I need the light.  

I'm sleeping better & waking hasn't been jolty.  Still, I'm still tired & needing everything to line up so I can get more rest.  Maybe a bit more of this & I won't feel so spent.

Happy Easter, good hunting.

Cya...

Stormy Morning...

 

It's been storming all night.  It's not been too bad, but there's been a lot of rain.  The Weather Channel has us over 2.5".  We need rain.  It'd be nice to make up for the deficit that's been running since January.

There isn't anything else happening here.  I'm fine with that.  We need some down time.  This is it, take care.

Cya...

More Needed...

 

It's going to be a colder, stormier weekend.  We need the rain, but not the storms or darkness.   We've been short on rainfall this year.  

I managed to get a decent night's sleep.  It wasn't enough.  I'm still worn out.  A single night isn't going to cut it.  It doesn't help this morning is hazy, windy & pollen ridden.

It's the 1st of the month & bills must be handled.  Then we'll go be shopping, check mail & hopefully home.  I've had enough outings for a bit.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

It Begins...

 

The yard work of 2026 has begun.  April 1 was the 1st mowing & spraying.  There'll be more of both.  It rained last night, so it'll be a bit before I can handle bugs & any plant stuff that needs hauled to the curb.  

I was already not feeling good.  Add weed spray, mowing, pollen, wind, etc... & I'm pretty done in for the moment.  I'll get over it, but it's going to take a bit.   

That's all for now, hopefully no more early runs for a bit.  I need the sleep.  Take care.

Cya...

Hello April...

 

April is here.  I hope it turns out to be easier than March.  This will be another short post.  We have to head out soon for an appointment.  Yet another early morning.  I hope these wind down a bit.  I don't handle mornings well.

That's all for now.  Hello April, be nice.

Goodbye March...

 

It's the end of March.  This was a tiring month & there's still things left to do.  I haven't been feeling well & this morning's been rough.  I'm trying not to get really sick.  Mornings have been hard.

I saw a couple of articles like this piece.  Gilead is refusing to sell MSF (Doctors WIthout Borders) their long lasting prevention medication lenacapavir.  No reason has been given.  This is not a good look for the drug company.

The other article I saw was about being 50+ & living with HIV.  These articles have yet to impress me.  They usually detail the same issues anyone over 50 would face, then add HIV.   None I've read so far have been that informative.

That's all for now, Goodbye March.

Cya...

Short Post Due To Busy Morning...

 

This is going to be another busy morning.  It has been for almost a week & will continue to be for a bit.  I need to shower & go shop.  My roomie has an appointment that a friend is taking her to.  It's just a timing issue with things.  All of this while I'm just trying to wake up & function.

That's all for now, take care.

New Med Development...

 

According to this piece, ViiV has a new long acting medication in phase 1 research.  The piece doesn't go into much detail other than obscurely listed 2 drugs in the new medication.  VH184 is list as an integrase inhibitor.   VH499 is listed a capsid inhibitor.  

At this point, there isn't much more known about the medication.  It's aimed to be another long acting medication, usually twice a year.  Another biannual med on the market could move these drugs to the forefront of treatment & drive down costs due to competition.  

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Spent...

 

For a long time now, I've been very tired, borderline sick from something or another.  But things kept coming.  Every time, I thought I could catch up a bit, something new popped up.   I don't think I can do this much longer.

This has been a hard month, especially this week.  Everything has been trying, demanding & needing to be handled.  For the most part, it has been, but there's still more needing done.  There always is.

This last week was harder than I expected.  It had to happen, but that doesn't change how difficult it turned out to be.   I've been exhausted since Wednesday.  We had to head out early for a thing my roomie had.  Every time estimate we were given was wrong.  I was there hours longer than I should've been.  By the time I got home, I was spent.

There's still more to handle & I don't have much I can do.  I'm just too frazzled to manage more.  Maybe in a week or so, if things calm down, I can do more again. But not now.

The chill & pollen aren't helping any.  Take care.

Cya...

Gloomy Final Friday...

 

The last weekend of March looks to be dark & colder.  It's gloomy this morning & it might rain.  Benefit renewals are in process.  My roomie is home from her appointment.   

I saw 2 articles (A & B) on suppressing HIV without meds.  Both pieces detailed an approach to handling HIV with antibodies & T-Cells.  This is a direction researchers have been looking at for a while.  At this moment it isn't widely viable.  This could lead to a new primary treatment of HIV & head away from  traditional medications.  

That's it for now, take care.

Roomie Pickup...

 

Yesterday was no fun.  I took my roomie to her appointment & of course everything took at least twice as long as they said.   We thought I'd be out of there by 11 AM, it was past 2 PM.  I have to head back now to pick her up.  This is about it for now.

BTW - Optimum sucks.  The net was off again yesterday.

Short Early Post...

 

It's too early to post much.  We've got to head out early for my roomie's appointment.  I didn't notice any articles.  I'll try to post more tomorrow.

It's too dark & chilly to be up.  Take care.

Meh Morning...

 

It's hazy & cooler this morning.  It's not been the best wake up, I'm still groggy.  There's stuff to handle today & there'll be even more tomorrow.  Tomorrow isn't going to be fun.   We have to be out of here very early & then I'll head back later.  I have little info on the actual details beyond that.  

Things are so up in the air & some of it needs to be handled soon.  There's not much I can do about any of it for now.   I'm staying tired & rattled.  Tomorrow is only going to be harder, but it has to be handled.

After that, things need to be handled.  I just want some stuff to come to an end so things can settle some.  I've done what I can & will.   It's hard to tell if this is SAD or just aggravation at all the things that have been lingering for so long.  Maybe it's both.  It just needs to end, so maybe I can stop feeling like such crap.

That's all for now.

Busy Drop...

 

In the past week we've gone from the mid 20s to mid 90s.  That's a 70° swing.  With the pollen & wind, it's no wonder people are sick.  It dropped 20° today.  Tuesday & Wednesday will be warmer & then it should be seasonal temps.

This is will be a busy week.  In addition to our normal routine, my roomie has an appointment.  It'll require getting around very early & a return trip the following day.

Still waiting for other things to happen so we can move on with finishing our current matters.  But there's nothing more I can do at the moment.  Maybe soon.

That's all for now, take care.

Out There...

 

I should be feeling better.  It's been brighter & warmer, but I'm still waking frazzled.   The pollen isn't helping.  It's mainly all the stuff we have hanging, waiting to be handled.  Unfortunately most of it isn't something I can do anything about.  What I can, isn't ready yet.  Some of it's stuff my roomie handles, but she's busy too.  

I'm not waking up in an angry, panicked jolt.  But I'm still opening my eyes & feeling very overwhelmed & solo.   I know I'm not alone, but there's just so much going on.  There's a lot waiting to get done.

I have no idea how things are going to playout & that rattles me.  It could be smooth sailing or utter wreckage.  I don't even know when it'll actually be over or what will be left when it's done.

I hate mornings.  There isn't enough of me that early, to put myself back together, before I deal with things.  It'd be nice if waking wasn't almost always a bad option.

Still A Lot...

 

There's been so much on our plates for so long.  Things shift, but no space really clears.  Yesterday's net outage shouldn't have got to me as bad as it did, but I was already just skating by.  It was just another stupid thing someone or something else inflicted on us.  

This is going to be a busy week & we have so much to handle.   Spring stuff is beginning & I don't know what we'll do about that.  The problem is I can't just break for a while.  Everything else is happening at the same time.   Every time I've broken in the recent past, I've wound up in the hospital.   Those trips may have kept me going, but they only delayed what was happening at home.

2026 is wearing me out & it's only March.  The temp swings are hard.  Less than 2 weeks ago, the overnights were freezing.  It's the low 90°s for this weekend.  Add all the pollen & it's a little rough.

That's all for now, take care.
