Still no luck for articles. It's not supposed to get as hot today, but it's already warming up. The AC will be on as early. Maybe it'll go off earlier & start later tomorrow. I'm over this swelter. After a while, it starts trying to turn you into jerky.
That's all for now. We've have a few errands today. Take care.

It's hard to do anything, but feel lousy right now. It's been hot, humid & hazy. By the time the haze is gone, the heat has ramped up. As it cools down, the humidity climbs. Last night was hot & this morning was muggy & loud. The electric company is trimming trees. Tree work on the hottest days is a bit barbaric. I feel sorry for those people doing all that in this heat.
I only saw articles I had covered before. None were from a new perspective. This is it for now. Take care.
Cya...
My nerves are colliding with the heat, iffy sleep & life in general. It's leaving me on edge. I feel rattled & off about everything. Every little thing is poking at me & testing what little nerve I have left. To make things worse, I'm feeling worn out. I wake up, get around & I'm already spent. I need a breather just to get ready to shower. Shopping isn't going to be fun today.
The next couple of days are supposed to be +100°. We didn't need to hit the century mark this year, but we've been here for a bit. Hopefully, they stay in July.
That's all for now, take care.

It hate the end of Summer. Especially when it's been such a letdown of a season. It's been summery hot & humid, but the light's been limited. It's like dealing with SAD in a steambath. Now July's ending & August is the only buffer I had before Sucktember.
I never do well during that well during September. My birth month is usually fairly awful for me. It's not the actual birthday, it's the damned month & the fact it brings the end of Summer. Screw Fall.
I've been worried about August for sometime. Then September is always a crapfest for me. I can't even find anything I'd like to do for my birthday. I just can't shake the feeling something's about to hit the fan.
Yesterday my roomie got news that would've been good months ago. But now, it's landing in September. The next couple of months are going to be hard on me. I'm so damned tired of hard things. All I want for my birthday is not to see it. I really don't see anything left for me besides stress, fear & other crap happening to make my life harder.
2026 has sucked. I don't see that changing. Oh well, who cares what I think?
Cya...
The last days of July are here, no more Saturdays. This Summer is going too quickly. Other than being hot, it hardly counts as a Summer. It's been hazy, dark or rainy so much of the season. This fall isn't going to be fun. Then again, these days what is?
There's so much I'm anxious about & nothing I'm looking forward to. I'm not seeing much in upcoming movies. Most of the things to-do aren't that great or are expensive & still not that good. Fun seems to be going extinct, at least for me. It's really tiring.
That's all for now, take care.

Merck has announced trials for a monthly, oral PrEP medication. This piece offers information about Alimatravir. This is the only data I can find on this drug. It's a good piece & a monthly pill could offer options that other forms of prevention can't. It may not be twice yearly, but it's also not an injection. For some, that will be a significant factor.
It's dark today & not supposed to get much warmer. It's also not supposed to get much cooler. Tonight could be hard sleeping weather. The last week of July looks to be hot.
I'm trying not to, but I'm already getting anxious about Fall. Summer has been a bust again & I haven't handled the last 2 falls well. I doubt I will this time. I really don't need to see Sucktember. I don't need all of it's hell drama. I guess SAD is just a year round thing for me now, like allergies.
That's all for now.
Cya...
Short post. I didn't find any articles & we have someone coming. It was cooler last night, so I managed to sleep a little better. It was needed. That's about it for now.
Take care.
Cya...
There wasn't much for articles, but I found these, A & B. The prior piece details Gilead's currently ongoing research over prevention & cures. Both pieces discuss research from Gilead & Merck concerning a weekly pill for HIV treatment. Neither are long, but contain updates on the process.
Yesterday was hot again. I didn't fair well. It's not supposed to be as hot today. The days are hard, but it's the hot nights that are doing me in.
That's all for now, take care.

tRump's maga has declared a culture war on anything they see as DEI. They will use it justify harming anyone or anything. Unfortunately that included the war on HIV. These cuts aren't just to PEPFAR & other overseas projects. They include domestic programs for awareness, testing, treatment & prevention.
maga's actions could very well lead to a reality where HIV is as dangerous as it was decades ago. These people's actions aren't out of some profound need to protect themselves from some imaginary boogeyman. These directives are meant cause harm, mayhem, degradation & even death. maga is vile.
My hope is that every single person who supported this movement gets this illness & has no means of dealing with it. Let them & theirs know the horrors of what unmitigated HIV can be. They deserve it.
That's all for now. Take care.
Cya...
This piece is a statement from a senior VP from ViiV Healthcare. It's a plan to embrace decades of research, development & patient input to develop the future of HIV/AIDS treatment with the endgame of ending the virus.
The focus is on long acting injectables (LAI). Some for prevention, others for treatment. They could come in varying injection intervals. This isn't a cure, it's a siege war against HIV. If the virus can't spread & is contained in those currently HIV+, it will either die out with those patients or be handled if a cure ever is developed.
Like all things with HIV, this is now & will continue to be in development, striving to be the best approach possible. Again, this isn't a cure, but it's a solid step to ending HIV.
Give this a read. Take care.

Yesterday was rougher than expected. I didn't expect an easy day after handling some yard stuff in the morning. But it turned out to be harder than I thought. I never do well after yard work of any kind, but spraying is the usually the worst of it for me. It got hotter & a lot more humid than it was supposed. All of that drained me & kept me in the bathroom a lot. I won't be doing much today except trying to stay cooler.
That's about it for now, take care.
Cya...
I haven't been feeling that great for the last couple of days. It's mostly been allergies, stomach & bathroom stuff. Sometimes being in a car for a while can set me system off & I'll be in the bathroom all day. Add to that all the burning, roadwork & humidity & my stomach was sort of doomed.
Yesterday was big shopping for the week. It's always a little more tiring. We ate at place we hadn't in a while. It'd changed hands & wasn't as good. It'll get another try & that may be it. It's too pricey to be meh to yick.
Later everyone got mowed, including us. The yard needed it, but it didn't help me out any. I felt off for the rest of the night.
Edges of the yard needed sprayed. It's about to get seriously hot. I got myself to handle it this morning. It is probably the only thing I'm doing today. It may be the 1 thing I do all weekend. It knocked me down pretty hard.
That's all for, take care. I hate grass.
Cya...
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.
Cya...
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.

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.
Cya...
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.

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.
Cya...
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.
Cya...
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.

HIV/AIDS education is important. Some people have the notion Gilead's Lenacapavir, the long lasting PReP option is a cure or a vaccine. It's neither. This medication can't cure an HIV+ person. It can only prevent transmission of the virus. What this drug could do if properly & widely administered is slowly starve out HIV in a type of siege war. It would die with those currently infected with no other transmissions.
There's a lot of info regarding HIV, even more misinformation. We have access to an abundance of resources to learn from. That may not be the same everywhere in the world. Education, awareness & prevention will always be as important as treatment.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
With all the funding cuts being made to the fight against HIV, most people focus on the medications. While the drugs are in some ways paramount, they're not the only thing getting cut. There are all the peripheries as well; labs, case management, consultations, referrals & various support matters.
When these cuts happen, it impacts everything in the situation, not just the meds. Including all the people working in these places livelihoods. There are many services outside of the clinic also feeling these cuts such as housing, financial & food assistance programs. Which are all being slashed.
Still there is another thing, perhaps more damaging. For many these cuts will lead to increased isolation. For some, the only people interacting with them at all were workers who now have no funds to help. Many of these workers themselves may now be in need of assistance after losing their employment with these programs.
Yes, the meds are getting cut. Services are being gutted. For some, the isolation may be the worst of it. For these people, it could mean suffering, starving & dying alone. That's what the orange bastard's cuts are doing.
Cya...
My computer glitched yesterday. I'm not sure how bad this could be. It could've been a weird update or high humidity. I hope this PC can last a couple more months. It'd be easier to handle this then. Some of my subscriptions would be up for renewal & since my roomie just changed systems last February, I'm out of slots. I hate dealing with setting up new PCs. Getting them to talk to everything else again can be such a pain.
It's going to get pretty hot today & we have some errands. We'll try to make sure they don't take too long. That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
The week is winding down. The local bills are handled, the rest is online. It should be a nothing day. Both of us could use that. Things have been a little rough with the surge in heat, humidity & holiday smoke. Maybe that will settle down some.
The internet went down again last night. Optimum seriously sucks. It's back on for now. It'd be nice if they got their act together.
That's about it for now, take care.
Cya...
July's in full swing. Most of the bills are paid & the water bill would've been if the city hall hadn't closed on Friday. I get they wanted a 3 day weekend, but they should've posted about on the website or facebook.
The 4th is over & it rained last night. It blew most the smoke away. That was a change. The smelly, haze from the fireworks normally lingers for hours. There'll still be some people setting things off for a bit, but the lion's share of it should be over.
Later in the week is supposed to get hot. I suppose we should count ourselves fortunate that it took this long to get here. July has arrived.
Take care.
Cya...
The 4th is here. That means a lot of noise, lights & odorous smoke. Some fireworks are pretty & fun to watch. But weeks of preamble sort of cheapen the main event. It's like a concert with a barely OK main band preceded by dozens of unknown openers.
We don't have anything planned. I can look out & see some of the show if I want. Eventually the smoke will be an issue. I hope those celebrating have a good holiday.
That's all for now, take care. Happy 4th.
Cya...
We'll handle bank stuff, some bills, groceries & errands today. With the holiday & the way the month fell, we'll need to do more today than normal. Monday's mail is already late arriving. With the Saturday holiday it may be really delayed.
As far as I know this stuff will be all we have to handle today. That's be OK, it's getting hot. We don't have any plans for the holidays, we haven't in years.
That's it for now, take care.
Cya...
It's a bit of a pause before the bills phase of the month starts. We'll need to do more tomorrow, due to the 4th being this weekend. Banks & things are supposed to be open Friday & Monday, but with this area, you never know for sure.
This used to be a favorite holiday for me. There was fireworks & often float trips, but for years I've drifted further & further from those days. I feel little connection to any of the holidays these days. Maybe, I'm just not on the list anymore.
I hope it brings some joy to those revelling. For me it's just another day with extra noise & smoke. Maybe that's how it gets for a lot of people. You're either on the bus drinking the Kool Aid or you aren't.
Take care.

July is here, may it be a good month. We need it. It's at least sunny, so that's a start. It's supposed to get hot.
I found a good article today. It concerns HIV, HPV & anal cancer. While this cancer is still more prevalent in women, its numbers are high in men, especially those with HPV. Men with HPV who engage sex with men are at a higher risk. The chances grow if the person is HIV+.
The risk of anal cancer in HIV-positive men who have sex with men is now higher than the risk for cervical cancer was in women before the advent of Pap tests
Almost everyone who has ever had sex has been exposed to HPV, a large family of viruses that cause six types of cancer: anal cancer, cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, penis cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer.
Most people have been exposed to HPV & HIV can greatly increase the chances of it developing into cancer. There is a vaccine. It can be given to children & up to the mid 40s. I had already aged out by the time I heard about the vaccine or I would've got it.
HIV is hard enough. HPV alone can be deadly. Combine them & it could be a disaster. If you can, get vaccinated. They have anal pap tests like cervical paps. It's up to you to educate yourself. Most likely your care provider won't even think about this matter.
Give this piece a read. Hello July, be good. Take care.
Cya...
This month has been alright. I needed some things to happen that rarely, if ever did. Again, we're going to go from dark, humid & cooler to blazing Summer heat. Yet somehow, it's still overcast & muggy.
July is almost here & I don't have much hope for the rest of this summer being better. If it manages to be good, awesome, but I'm not banking on it. I'm tired of looking forward & only seeing warning signs & hazards.
June, was OK, but not much more. Maybe it was better for other people. Take care.
Cya...
June's nearly done. We have some errands & shopping this morning. It's the last grocery run of the month. It's getting hot, the AC will be on soon.
There wasn't much for articles this morning. I did manage to get a hold of my specialist. They hadn't set my telemed appointment. The appointment used to be made before I left the current meeting. They haven't had a consistent staff in some time. Any way, appointment & lab dates are set.
That's all for this morning. Take care.
Cya...
The 1st half of 2026 is wrapping up. This wasn't a great time for me. I've had worse, but things definitely could've been better. I guess next week is supposed to be the year's halftime show, with all the 4th stuff.
I remember the bicentennial. There was so much red, white & blue; on banners, streamers, even fire hydrants. It seemed to be a lighter, more joyful time. 76 had a lot of issues, but compared to now, it probably felt like a dream to a lot of people. 50 years later & the crapfest is raging on.
To every group that robbed the present of what it could've been, I really hope you end in the most gruesome manner. There could've been unity, joy & progress. Instead there's turmoil, hate & greed. May those who caused that turn have nothing but a horror show for the remainder of their lives.
This could've been a really cool 4th of July. Instead we got this dumpster fire.
Cya...
National HIV Testing Day has rolled back around. Here's a piece from POZ on the matter. Normally the 1st articles I'd see would be from the CDC & HIV.Gov. I didn't see anything from the CDC & had to go looking for this article from HIV.Gov.
With the current administration's attitudes & actions; getting tested & being as safe as possible is more important than it has been in decades. This government is not on your side when it comes to HIV. Get informed, play safer & get tested. You may be the only person trying to insure you're own health & well being.
Take care.
Cya...
It's a cloudy morning & the lasts of June have been here since Wednesday. No more trash trips for June. The weather is supposed to get hot. Maybe it'll kill some of whatever's in the air making it hard to breathe.
I didn't find much for articles this morning. Other than shopping, we don't have a lot. That's good, neither of us are feeling that well. Nighttime skunk walk-bys are making their presence known. Some nights, the stink really gets to us.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
The worst thing I do in a day is generally the worst part of my day & that's waking up. It's such a massively stupid thing to do. There's no good in it. At least not for me.
I've been trying to do well, but I'm not succeeding. It's another dismal day & it doesn't look like there will be much sunlight until it's blazing. Yesterday was OK until a Windows update. My PC was working OK until then & now the media streaming service keeps turning off. I can fix it, but I'll have to do it every time until this corrects itself. Maybe the next update will do it.
Sleep wasn't easy last night. There was a lot of noise. The air was thick & the forecast rain never came. It was just muggy. I woke weird this morning & I'm achy & groggy.
In all seriousness, screw mornings, waking & crappy overcast skies. I could've just never woke up & never known any of this. But I had to wake up.
Cya...
Even though rainfall averages have been passed, the weather feels the need for more storms. There's chances for them all day. The skies will be dark & there may be thunder, but there's not supposed to be much rain, just a lot of meh.
A lot of articles for months now have been about a single topic, funding. The US's $ stunt has jeopardized the entire world's fight against HIV. I hope the rest of the world figures out a way to operate completely independent of US cash. Maybe then, this country could be treated like it should be & left in a corner like a bad child. For the sake of egos, wealth & politics, this administration is willing to let the world burn. To hell with every MAGA, orange asshat & conservative.
Cya...
The Summer Solstice is here. It's going to start getting hot, if these clouds ever leave. I'd much rather it be a bit hotter & drier, than cooler & humid. It's the last third of June. The weather forecast keep bouncing between sunny & hot or thunderstorms & sticky.
Hotter weather will mean using more electricity for the AC. It could also mean the grass starts getting mowed less & some of the bugs die back a bit. I'm trying to have a decent Summer. I've got a feeling this I'm not going handle this Fall well. I really wish I could just stop at the beginning of September & not wake until March was nearly over. I find the time in between not worth it all.
Welcome Summer, let it be a good season.

I was actually having a decent day yesterday & then it rained & we had to go shopping. Walmart's parking lot was mostly fenced off so they could repave. The open part was packed. For some reason, with the parking lot, twice the shoppers seemed to be there.
It was not fun. But still, I was having an OK day. I guess that was just too much for things. About 5:30, the internet went down & stayed out until this morning. Something just had to keep pulling at the threads & my decent day unraveled. Maybe I'm just not supposed to have those.
I found an article that continues to show monstrous nature of the orange bastard & his ilk. tRump has signed an executive order to end all AIDS funding to South Africa. In this country where a rich, white minority created apartheid, a situation that's impact is still felt today, the orange feels white people are being treated badly. There is no evidence of this. White people are no longer being treated like nobility. This is the country where some of the richest, white people come from like Elon Musk.
tRump also says it's because they opposed Israel's war, that they country shouldn't be helped. The promise of US AIDS funds has been broken. The administration may single-handedly bring back the HIV epidemic of the 80s. Way to go MAGA.
Cya...
PS - It's the last day of Spring 2026 & it might find some sunlight sometime today, maybe not. Spring was not a great season for me.
June has been a lackluster month again. It could've easily passed April with the rain, storms & gloom. I guess sunny Junes are a thing of the past. I wonder how wedding traditionalists feel about that. A July wedding it is then.
We've got shopping & that's about it today. I'm glad. It's hard to get motivated to do anything with this dreary weather.
That's all, take care.

The night before last night, right before I was getting ready for bed, there were skunks outside. There was that smell & it was intense. This time though, it made me nauseous & give me a headache.
I spent a lot of yesterday with migraine like symptoms, minus the migraine. Sounds, smells, lights were all much intense than they should've been. Things were fading until about 5 or so. Then the lawn guy showed & mowed. The noise & smell pushed me right back into it. Then the nausea & headache were back & watery eyes were an add-on.
Hopefully today is skunk-free & my head can clear out. That's all for now, take care,

If I could rewrite this story, I'd end it on the night I graduated with my doctorate. That was the last high point I had & even that wasn't great. I knew I didn't have anything lined up after. It's been downhill since & that was decades ago. If I'd died then, there would've been some accomplishment, acknowledgement. It wouldn't have devolved into the crapfest of failure it became.
I'd definitely ended it before I moved here. That was a horrible decision. I wouldn't have made it into the 2000's & got diagnosed. At every point that there's been some sign of possibility the door has always closed; sometimes slowly, others slammed.
The people of this state slammed another door last night. They voted to keep the lowest possible minimum wage. If I could, I'd move, but that's not really an option. I'm pretty sure I won't be changing locations until I die. The entire state's a trap.
To every asshat that voted against helping others make a decent living, your malignant selves are destroying the thing you say you love. Talk about an abusive relationship.

This article notes the FDA is allowing Gilead to proceed with an investigation into prescribing Yeztugo as a weekly, oral PrEP med. It's already approved as a bridge between normal PrEP medications & the long acting, injection of Yeztugo or lenacapavir.
If successful, it will be another option for prevention. Some people may want or not tolerate the long acting injections for PrEP. For them, oral meds may remain the better option. Still, weekly means 52 doses not 365. That's over 300 less pills & chances to miss the dose.
This was a good article, give it a read. Take care.

A notable Yoda quote is, “No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.” The implied meaning is that saying you'll try is creating a built-in plan for accepting failing as an outcome. I get what is meant here, but I still call BS. There are people that go into things with everything intent on "doing" but don't succeed. They're efforts ended in failure & they will have to decide whether of not to "try" again.
Like it or not, failure is always an option. No matter how much plan, how hard you push, how much you want; you can still fail. That isn't, "do not." That's a failed attempt.
I find this approach almost as awful as being toxically positive. There's a near aggressive mindset to this philosophy, that if you fail it's always on you. You didn't push hard enough, plan well, believe, have faith, cross your fingers or some other nonsense. Sometimes you fail no matter what. They say what comes next is the important part. But sometimes there's just not enough left to push again.
I never liked that muppet.

It poured over an inch more rain last night. We're near, if not over double the monthly rainfall. That left this morning dark & hazy. I doubt there will be any sunlight today, just a harsh glare through the clouds. Upside to this, is the temperature should be lower.
Not much going on here. I've somehow hurt my left hand. It was sore most of yesterday. It's still a little sore this morning. Hopefully, this will calm down. I really don't need another health issue.
That's it for this morning. Take care.

Another June is being wasted by damned clouds & storms. This morning has been aggressively hazy. The neighbors were loud this morning & the humidity is still high. It's supposed to storm more tonight. Like we needed that.
June 2026, you are sucking. When did this month become nearly the darkest of year? There's more light later in the day, but most of it is still dreary.
Besides waking achy & dehydrated, that's my gripe for this morning. Take care.
Cya..
This crappy 2026 Spring continues with more haze, drear & storms. It's gotten hot, but any light has been fleeting. This muggy, dark mess sucks. It rained more last night. A little more & it'll double the monthly rainfall average.
Neither of us felt well yesterday. I wound up forgetting something we planned on doing. It'll have to get handled this morning on top of all the normal Friday stuff. Way to go me, make more of a mess for yourself.
I need to get around. We have shopping & errands. Hopefully nothing else pops up.
Take care.

The solstice is near. Weathermen started Summer at the beginning of the month. Spring is leaving for the year. I think it's time to take a bit of an assessment. I'll try to be honest. This Spring was not fun, good or helpful. It was dark, & trying.
The weather last year was no better, but we seemed to be in a better place. There were plans, ambitions, goals... But all that's pretty much gone. It was always a possibility that would be the way of things, but for a while things had traction. Not trying to point blame here. I'm certainly not helping much. But, I don't see things making a come back.
Things started fading late last Fall. There were reasons. A different tactic was tried & seemed to help for a bit. Then that was gone too. By deep Winter things had fizzled. I didn't say anything for a bit, then later I did & there were acknowledgements. By February, as far I could tell, it was all gone. Spring brought more issues, challenges & not much else.
Things could change, but I think that chapter's closed. Again, it's not like I was doing much. Maybe The Sundays had it right, "Here's where the story ends." I don't know what this Summer holds. I doubt it'll anything good for me. The season will start with no real plans on my part, just a fair certainty things will only get worse.
Cya...
