Friday Issues...

 

If something around here is going break or screw up, it'll most likely be on a Friday night.   That leaves us the weekend to deal with whatever messed up.  Last night, my blood pressure monitor crapped out on me.  It kept giving me odd readings.  I tried to adjust the positioning, nothing worked.  By the time, I switched to my old cuff, I'd irritated myself & my reading was higher than it should've been.  The old cuff read a little high anyway.

At 1st, I thought it was bad batteries, but those in it were newer.  I tried some others & still nothing.   I'd planned on getting up this morning & going to get better batteries.  But, I thought to look up the lifespan of a blood pressure cuff.  I'm way past the time given as an average.  This morning I ordered a new cuff from Walmart.  It should be here today.  

We'll see how this goes.  Take care.

Lingering...

 

For some time now, we've had stuff linger on into the next month.  We haven't just been able to shut the door on a month & move on.  These things are just camped out by the door unresolved.  The problem is a lot of these issues aren't things we can control or even influence.  It's just a waiting game while things get handled.  Some of this should've been handled years ago & may not be handled until late Summer.

Even if everything got wrapped up by August, that'd just be the beginning of what this household would have to face.  It could be at least another month of more before things settle for us.   Most 2026 could get tarnished by something neither of us could control.  

May will be another month with carry over because of other people's BS.   At least we finally met our rainfall averages.

Day After Appointments...

 

The day of errands & appointments went alright.   The appointments themselves went fine.  Getting over there & back was a little annoying.   The traffic was weird & patchy.  Then it decided to storm during most of the outing.

We got home & it rained for the rest of the day.  I'm dealing with day after cleaning teeth.  Everything feels a little off & sensitive.   That's handled for the next 6 months.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

Rushed Morning...

 

This is going to be quick.  I need to get some stuff handled, then shower, then eat, then rebrush my teeth & anything else I'm forgetting.  After that, drive over to Fort Smith handle appointments, errands & get something to eat before driving home.  That's not mentioning getting trash to the curb.  

For us, this will be a busy day.  Take care.

Cya...

Not Much Tuesday...

 

We don't have a lot to handle today, just stuff we'd normally deal with on Wednesday.  But, there are appointments & errands scheduled for tomorrow.  It's supposed to rain again today.  That might be the way of things for the rest of the month.

I guess as we have this maga bs articles are going to be scarce.  There was pieces out today, but nothing pertaining to what I post about.  Articles are past a dry spell, even a slump, this is a drought.  

That's all, take care.

Cya...

The Lasts Of May...

 

Today is Memorial Day & the last Monday of the month.  Soon, the whole 1st of the month thing will start again.  I'm not happy with this month.  It's brighter this morning, but most of May has been overcast to stormy dark.  I'm just trying to get my head in a good place & not much seems to be cooperating.

Shopping is the only thing on the list for today.  This week will be a little busier, due to some appointments in Fort Smith.  Nothing big, just have to drive over & back.  

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

More Muggy Haze...

 

Hazy mornings make it hard to wake up.  Their muggy nature can make me achy & stiff.  Nothing's planned for today & tomorrow is Memorial day so there won't be any mail.   Our week will be rescheduled.   We'll have to handle some Wednesday stuff on Tuesday because of midweek appointments. 

There weren't any articles & nothing else is going on, so this it for now.   Take care.

Cya..

Forecast Lied...

 

There was no call for dark, noisy storms this morning, but here they are.   Waking this morning has been a challenge.  The bad part of all this, even though the storms won't stop & the skies won't clear, there hasn't been that much precipitation.  We're still short of the monthly rainfall average.

May hasn't been a bad month, but it certainly hasn't been good time either.  I don't why I keep looking for good times.  Those haven't been a thing for while now.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Appointment, Again & Ugh...

 

My medical appointment went as expected, no surprises.   I scheduled the next time.   Now on to my midweek dental cleaning.  Then my stuff can be handled for a bit.  

Yet another dental office is being reported as a possible exposure site for HIV.  This piece says a  Philadelphia dentist office had possible exposures of bodily fluids between patients.   More details haven't been provided at this time.

I finally sleep well after 3 nights.  It'd been nice to wake up to a nice day, but no.  It's still raining & dark.  May have been such a sucky, dark month the last few years.

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

I manaed to 

Bad Morning...

 

This is not a good morning.  It's dark & I'm up early.  I didn't sleep well.  The weather was muggy & not quite warm enough for a fan.  Everything made noise & kept waking me.  

I have an appointment soon & need to get out of here.  I got a notice, my credit score had dropped a bit.  A store credit card I had got cancelled.  They usually send out a notification for inactivity, but not this time.   If I need again, I can apply.  It wasn't something I needed often, so maybe later.

That's all for now, so far this morning sucks.

Cya...

Not So Great Again...

 

I didn't sleep that well again.  It was better than the night before, but not great.   Right before shutting down last night, Windows decided it didn't like a program I've used for years.  It won't even let it open anymore.  So far, I haven't found a workaround.  I looked for replacements & I may have found somethings, we'll see if any work.

Then it decided to storm more last night.  Between yesterday & last night, we got about 2".   There's more rain in the forecast for the end of the month.   We're still short some for our monthly average.  

This morning there was lots of outside noise.  It was too cool for a fan, so there was no buffer sound.  The outdoor cats had a standoff as well.  Let there not be a moment of peace & quiet.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

May Storm Season....

 

It was very muggy yesterday & last night.  It didn't make for great sleeping weather.   It's storming now & has a 50/50 chance to keep storming for the rest of the month.  I'm tired of it being so dark.   I know we need rain, but this drear is rough.

I didn't sleep well.  I'm annoyed by the dark storm crap.  I need to go get a shower.  That's my morning.  Take care.

Cya...

Article Annoyance...

 

I saw a few articles that could have been interesting.  They were about amping up a person's immunity systems to control HIV.   Might've been good reads, if they weren't all behind paywalls.  Maybe in a bit, the info will be more accessible.  

I don't know why these people think the average lay person would pay for these sites.  These sites are numerous & pricey.  I'm not a doctor, but I am trained in research.  Beyond that, being HIV+, I'm invested in the topic.  Still I wouldn't pay for these sites if I could, there are too many of them.  Eventually, most of the info hits the web for free.

I get sites need revenue, but paywalls are annoying.  Take care.

Cya...

Middle May Sunday...

 

It's hazy again this morning, but this time it's bright.  Bright haze is hard to look at, it almost glows.  This is the 3rd of 5 Sundays this month.  There will be shopping, errands, bill paying & an appointment this week.   More might pop up, but that's what's on the schedule for us at the moment.

It's getting warmer.  I should finish seasonal stuff this week.  Too bad, the rest of the month looks to be stormy or dreary.  I'm over clouds for a while.  I want some sunlight.

That's it for now, take care.

Cya...

Another Grey Morning...

 

It's gloomy here again.  Often it's only getting bright a little before sundown.  A lot of good that does.   I hate these mornings.  I'm trying to get myself going & these clouds are making everything dreary.  They just linger making it muggy.

I'm through about half of the Winter wash.  I'll finish the rest of it this week.  Hopefully, it doesn't cool down again, but the rest of the month has storms in the forecast.  

It was warm enough for me to use a fan for the 1st time overnight.   It was a little much & I'll have to watch when I use it as humid as it's been.  I don't need to catch a cold.  I mainly used it to move some stuffy air & buffer outside noise. 

That's about it for now, take care.

Cya...

Not So Good...

 

Yesterday started off well & should've been a decent day.  My roomie had a friend over & then had a n event to go to.   It was the most she's gotten to do in a while that wasn't a doctor's appointment.  

But, somewhere in that time by myself I really got into my own head.  I'm not sure why, maybe it was the light letting me relax enough to let some stress out.  I got very anxious & rattled for no current reason or maybe everything all at once.  I can't tell.  

I spent the day anxious.  But as usual there was other stuff going on.  Things that needed handled.  Then, of course, more stress came along & made things worse.  

So often, if I'm having an off day, something comes along & complicates everything to the point, my off issues feel trivial.   I get that my issue wasn't the big thing & that the other things going on were important.  For the most part this isn't anyone else's fault.  But that isn't really the point.

I wind up in a bad place with nothing left to do about it.  I get in my own head & often make it worse.  Then some other BS makes everything much worse.  So my issues get pushed back.  I don't want to add onto the overall BS.

This morning isn't helping.  It's hazy & dim.  I'm feeling pretty worn out from yesterday.   I really didn't need to wake up today.   That would've been fine.

Oh well, off to handle Friday stuff.  Take care.

Cya...

Down Thursday...

 

It's bright & warmer.  It could be a nothing day, that'd be nice.  A friend's over for a bit.  But other than that, there's nothing happening for us.  It'd be nice if it stays that way.

The back half of the month will be busier.  I have a  regular medical check up.  Then the next week, I have a dental cleaning.   Other than normal stuff, that should be it.  

That's all for now, take care.

Cya...

HIV & The Future...

 

The field of HIV research is decades old & huge steps have been made in the fight against the virus.  However, we haven't found a cure.  We're back to admitting prevention is currently our best option.  While there have been advancements in treatment, there's still no silver bullet. 

Some are admitting the difficulty of this pursuit & altering course.  Alongside long acting treatment & PrEP that can greatly limit transmission, researchers are looking at options not found in pill bottles.  Some are researching the areas of gene therapy and broadly neutralizing antibodies.  

I've discussed these topics before.  It's a shift from a wide net approach meant for the masses to a personalized effort for individuals.  This could be the path forward, but it's still early days on this matter.

That's all for now, take care.

C=ya...

 

Maybe Warming...

 

It may finally be getting warmer & staying for a while.  There aren't any 50s currently in the forecast.  I can start opening windows & cleaning blankets.  Of course warmer temps come with their own issues, but I typically handle those better.

There wasn't much for articles this morning.  That's been an issue since orange stain came back & will probably be the case for some time.  I think that man & his ilk have every intention of setting the fight against HIV back to the 80s.  

That's it for this morning, take care.

Cya...

Still Hazy...

 

It's beginning to look like a repeat of the last couple of years.  Most of the month looks to be cloudy or stormy.  I hate this damn dreary crap.  The dark of the year BS is dragging all the way into June & popping back up in late August.  To all those freaks that actually like, hope you're damn happy.   This weather sucks.  

There weren't any decent articles & the gloom is lingering, so this is it for now.   

Cya...

2nd May Sunday...

 

The weather's been weird for May.  It's be cooler, darker & definitely wetter than usual.   We've been seasonally warm only to drop back into the mid 40s.  We haven't met our rain average, but the rain keeps coming in stormy dumps.  There's been a lot of hail.

The biggest issue for me is the lack of light.  It's making really pulling out of SAD difficult.   Everything is just dragging on & nothing seems to be getting resolved.  

That's about it for today.  Take care.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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...

Cya...

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.

Cya...

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.

Such A Monday...

 

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

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

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

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

More More More...

 

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

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

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

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.
