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.
Cya...
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...
It finally got brighter yesterday, but after all that rain, it's a steam pit. It'll take a bit for all that moisture to burn off. It won't help if we get a lot more rain.
It's bright again this morning. That made it easier to wake up. It's still very muggy.
I tried a different kind of store bought chili. I usually make ours at home. This stuff was awful. I tossed the leftovers out in the yard. It's still there this morning. Usually with an hour or so, whatever I toss out is gone. It's almost gone by the next day. That means, no animal traipsing through my yard wanted anything to do with that stuff.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
PS - Keep forgetting to say that the rose of sharon bushes & tiger lilies have been blooming for about a week.
The area monthly rainfall averages were met & surpassed by the 1st week of June. There's some local flooding, but I haven't seen any postings about anything serious. That could change with more rain still in the forecast.
It's still dreary & muggy. This isn't fun to wake up too. It makes getting around hard. This time of year, putting clothes on after a shower is a sticky process.
There were articles, mostly over things I've posted about a lot. Some posts seemed too in the "proof-of-concept" phase to be worth it. At least there was something.
I'm trying to do better this morning. These skies aren't helping any. It's nearly Summer Solstice & it's still this dark. Summer used to be my reprieve, now there's nothing.
That's all for now, take care.

2026 is turning out to be a bad year for me. 2025 was hard & it crashed into this year. The expenses kept coming. It's stayed dark & dreary. Very little is moving along like it should. Everything is just trying.
It's June & it's still dark. Things that should've been settled months, perhaps years ago, are still ongoing. New crap keeps popping up. I can only juggle so much.
The 1st week of June has been rough. I've been in panicky, anxious & mad. It's looking like another dark Summer. I've spent a couple of days so wound up, I thought was going to be sick. I never was, but the queasiness & nerves just wouldn't settle down.
I've been diagnosed with HIV, had pneumonia, COVID, a stroke, etc... But so far this year has feels like it belongs in the top 3 of my worst years of the 2000s. What's bad is, I know it could get worse. I'm just trying to get through this & I'm not doing that very well.
Take care.

There's a continuum between quality & quantity. Most opt for the most over the best. I want the most candy over a single bite of the best. But that shouldn't be the case when it comes to a person's life. Lifespan is how long someone will live. But another concept healthspan or healthy life expectancy, is how long the individual will life in a mostly healthy state absent of chronic illness or injury.
When it comes to HIV, new meds have led to a near normal lifespan. That isn't always the case for healthspan. Many with HIV+ age faster than normal & face health issues earlier or more intensely; cognitive decline or increased susceptibility to some cancers.
According to this piece, this is due to the inflammation caused by HIV even when suppressed. HIV impacts the bodies ability to fight. The research reported a sugar molecule in the body called glycans help control inflammation. While glycans dip as we age, it can be worse for women as the enter menopause. But in HIV+ people these glycans levels lessen & with that their ability to control inflammation.
Research is studying a medication to inhibit this effect. A group of meds referred to as sialidase or neuraminidase inhibitors can lessen degradation of glycan levels. These compounds are found in common anti-flu meds such as Tamiflu.
This research is in the very beginning, but could prove very useful. They aren't promoting flu meds as a treatment for HIV related inflammation. They're saying the chemicals in these meds could be lead to new treatments for the condition. Which could impact a host of inflammation induced ailments.
Give it a read. Take care.

This isn't a good morning. There's a more talk of HIV funding getting further cut. There's also the chance they could require HIV+ work requirements to get medicaid. I'm not sure what this will mean for me. Of course they aren't giving the choice to end it all. I think with the way things are, a lot of people might choose that option.
It's a crappy dark morning & it's like I feel every miserable cloud. I don't think I'm getting over SAD ever. I hate waking up so damned much. It's in the top worst things I ever do. It takes me hours just to be functional & then more time to feel normal. By then, it's getting dark again. Things aren't & probably won't ever get better.
There's errands & bills to handle. Take care.
Cya...
The beginning of bills & some errands were handled yesterday. I picked up my meds & by the time we got home, the lawn guy was mowing. We're happy about that. It'd been over a month since the yard got handled. It was a shaggy mess. But, it took that long for the rain to stop & grass to dry enough to be cut.
We don't have much on for today. We'll finish the bills tomorrow. That's it for now.
Take care.
Cya...
It's the 1st of the month, time to handle bills & errands. I need to pick up meds today. We're hoping to get the lawn mowed soon. It looks like a meadow. But it keeps raining & drenching everything. It dumped over an inch yesterday. This stupid version of June is supposed to be rain happy & dark. So much for dealing with SAD.
That's it for now. I need to get things done so we can deal with all this. Take care.
Cya...
Again June is a dark mess. It's almost Summer & this looks like a morning in January. Of course it had to storm. It was supposed to last night & didn't. That made sleeping less than pleasant. I'm just tired of this. Why the hell did I wake up?
I needed this dark crap to be over, but hey that doesn't matter. The mood I've been in, the world could burn & I'd be fine. I'm just too over this to care about much anymore. I'm tired of being scared, anxious, stressed. I'm just tired & pissed that I woke up.
I have a 80s pin somewhere that says, "Life's a bitch & then you die." That's not right. Life is a bitch, but you don't just to die, you linger. You don't thrive, you just exist.
That's it this morning. To hell with June & its BS storms & drear. Apparently there is no bright season anymore. I hope all you cloud lovers choke.
Cya...
Hello June, I know it's a lot to ask, but it'd be great if this was a nice month. I need really need it. I've not been doing that well & this is my last season of being in my 50s.
I haven't had a good year in quite a while. I can barely get a decent few hours. I was more hopeful last year at this time. There were possibilities, I think those are gone.
The small wants I had; to be more secure, less scared & anxious, to have some small things to look forward, to not die in this damn hovel, etc... I let myself think it might be possible. I did it to myself again. It's unlikely any of that will ever happen.
June, I repeat my request for a nice month. It doesn't have to be anything big, just pleasant & a little less stressful. I'm tired of waking up & being angry I'm still here. I dont' want any seasons in my 60s. Things will only be worse. Nothing's coming, nothing's going to get better.
It feels like there's so little of me left. Every time something looks like it could be good or get better, it's a fake out or a let down. Even if something good did come along. It'd be just enough to screw things up, not fix anything. I want things to go well or just end.
That's all, hello June, sorry for the ask.
Cya...
May's ending on warm note. We're finally getting some sunlight, just not enough to get rid of this humidity. Other than a couple of appointments, May didn't bring us much. Maybe that's OK. It didn't bring us much bad either. Most of the month was just overcast & hazy.
Tomorrow will start the 1st of the month stuff again. Goodbye May. At least you're ending on a blue moon. Take care.
Cya...
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.
Cya...
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.
Cya...
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...
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...
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...
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..
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...
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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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.

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.

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...
