Glitchy...

 

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.

1st Friday In February...

 

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

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

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

That's it for now, take care.

Too Much...

 

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

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

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

Last March Wednesday...

 

This won't be much of a post of this last Wednesday.  Monday was loaded after an early start.  I was on hold 90+ minutes Tuesday for benefit renewal & then there was another appointment.  This morning my PC was glitchy.  I think I've got it fixed.   All of March has been hectic, trying & full of crap.  I'm tired & the day's not even started.

OK March, take your business & odd weather out the door.   That's all.  Take care.

1st of Month December...

 

The 1st of the month is here & that means bill stuff starts.  Had to handle the beginning of that this morning.  I'm not having an easy time waking lately & to start the day my PC was glitchy.   I think it was the high humidity & cold temps.  I guess we'll see.

We've got to go shopping.  This will be it for the morning.  

Take care.

Not 1...

 

I was hoping June would calm down.  I needed an easy morning after decent sleep.  I'm not getting either.  Little things keep happening & edging at my nerves.  I woke to crap noise outside & cats on the porch fussing.  I laid there just trying to rest.  Cause when I get up, I know the morning's going to be crap.  They almost always are anymore. 

I get up & the kitten has knocked a bunch of stuff over.  There's more BS outside.  I finally get to my computer & Iolo System Mechanic is trying to force a renewal on me for about $50.  I have to call those assholes & deal with their crap accents & shitty hard sales attempts.  I think it's cancelled.  If not I'll be calling my credit card. 

I'm spent.  I've been on the edge of breaking for years now.  But, it seems that something or someone always has more pressing needs & I can't deal with me.  I hate this.  I hate waking.  I hate just being here & it always being an unnerving crapfest.  The universe must hate me, it keeps having me wake up every morning.   Maybe if I could just let go, I wouldn't constantly feel like I'm vibrating so hard I could break.

On top of that I still don't anything about when my meds will get here.  I hope it's soon.  I have some extra, but this needs to end.  This is an HIV med.

So no, Apparently I can't have a good morning.

Ugh Over...

The ugh is over for now.  I got up early & called to speak to a caseworker.   The state has stupidly closed the physical offices & made them work from home.  Now, no one has an assigned caseworker.  It's just whoever's on the line when you call. 

For some reason my application was only making it to part of the system.  Go figure, a computer glitch screwed me, how cliché.  I was expecting a huge wait time, but I actually got on the line a couple of minutes before they opened for business.  Their system has a lot on the frontend of the call to get through.  I talked to the 1st tier for a couple of minutes & then got transferred.  Luckily I was 1st in line & had no wait time.  The whole thing took about 25 minutes.  Far better than what my roomie's been on with them.

All seems well for now, but I didn't need that stress.   Why is it streamlining businesses only seems to help the business's wallet & never the people using it?

That's all, take care.

November Saturday...

 

Here's another November Saturday & I'm hoping for no drama.  A computer update gave me crap for hours yesterday.  It's resolved.  I'm only somewhat sure of what resolved it.  There's no certainty on that matter. 

Past that, yesterday, was alright.  We got a bit of a surprise.  The neighbors have a for sale sign on their home.  They've only been there 5 years.  But since then they had another kid & went through COVID.  There's a lot of reasons they could be selling.  Including they don't like the house or neighborhood.  I can't even take that personally.  There isn't a lot here & some of the people can get loud at times.

Still it's another change.  I wish the best for them & us.  Hopefully whoever buys it won't be difficult.  The price escalation on that house is nuts.  Since 2010, it has been bought 3 times.  The house belonged to an older gentlemen who had passed.   

The 1st sale went for 16K after the house set empty for years.  The buyer was a slumlord & did halfass reinvations.  The roof & HVAC system he installed were subpar & have had a lot of issues.   After some renters, he sold it an near retirement woman for 96K in 2014.  It made her house poor, so she sold it in 2018 for 103K.  5 years later with the same realtor & no improvements the new owners are asking 160K.  The house & neighborhood are actually in worse shape then when they bought the place.  I think this might be a rough sell.  That's a 10X increase in 13 years.

That's it for now.  It's a Saturday & for now the PC is doing fine.  We might have new neighbors soon.  Not really happy about that.  Glad I wasn't invested in these folks.   

Take care.

Rough Day...

 

It didn't storm like it was supposed to yesterday.  It got fairly dark & rained a little.  There were some minor power fluctuations that caused my PC to shutdown.   Nothing was exceptionally bad.  Still that much dark after so few days of sun caught up to me quick.  I normally notice the dark days, but his was like getting hit by a brick.  It was just there & then so was the SAD.  I felt anxious & edgy all day.  It never  got better yesterday.  I hate this.  Once it sets in, it's hard to get past.  I didn't need another damned dark day.

It's not bright this morning, maybe it'll lighten up later.  Take care.

Still Here...

 

I was up a little later fixing an annoying computer issue on my system.  Turns out a web page I frequented decided to be an issue.  I was using the home page, start.me.   It's now loaded with subframes that'll slow down anything.

This article is about stigma.  It's still here folks & isn't going anywhere.  What makes this worse is it's dealing with a TV character's HIV, not even a world person.   Still the actor has faced some qustionable reactions after the portrayal.  It's not the 1st time for this .  Many actors who have portrayed gays or HIV+ people have faced serious issues after the part.   Take Harry Hamlin & the film Making Love for instance.  

In short, start pages can cause issues.  Stigma over HIV & being gay is still alive & well. Does anything ever really change?  It seems to always be able to get worse.

Take care.

Nearly Nothing...

 

Things conspired yesterday & left me frazzled & spent.  The Windows 11 update was handled.  Then when regular updates  happened, 1 failed.  This  little beast is being a problem for a lot of people.  Still, I didn't need it just after that big update.

I didn't manage much else yesterday & might not this morning.  This is it for now.  Maybe I'll be in a better place tomorrow.

Take care.

Computer Stuff...

 

I didn't see any newer article topics.  I need to get somethings handled on my PC, so this will be it for now.  Hopefully there will be more tomorrow, besides just saying it's hot.

Take care...

OK Morning...

 

I"m running a little late this morning.  I woke stiff & a little sore from this weather.  I finally got around  & decided to look at my roomie's new PC.  It needed some maintenance programs added.   Those are on a ton of updates were added.  Now on to my stiff.  That's all for this morning.  It's going to start getting hot.  Oh joy heat & humidity.

Take care.

Dismal Again...

 

It's dark, rainy again.  Another inch fell.  After the rain stops, it's supposed to get hot.  It's going to be humid hell.   June apparently has no intention of not sucking.

2 things, 1st, my roomie's new system is running & in process of setup completion.  It may take a bit.  Windows 11's interface is somewhere between a chromebook & smartphone.  Most of old Windows is  still there, just hidden behind some awkward cosmetic changes.

Next, if you're in the military, the Pentagon is loosening it's rules on HIV+ people in service.   There are tons  are  articles, Google it.  I guess that's great if you want to be in the military.  Yo Joe & all that...

Drenched...

 

It stormed last night.  It poured over 1" of rain with a lot of thunder & lightning.  I guess we were lucky, we just had a power blip.  Judging by the utility trucks  driving around, I'd say some of our neighbors weren't so fortunate.  

The new computer arrived  yesterday.  It's still in the box.  I'm not sure when it'll be setup, but I didn't have the nerves left for it yesterday.  

So far, June has been like the rest of 2022, a let down.  I was hoping for more light & better mornings.  At least to where I wasn't cursing the fact I woke.  I hate waking up, nothing good comes from it.

I tried to find out more from my specialist in Tulsa about my next appointment.  They still don't know.  They've a new system, new doctors & a new telemedicine center in my area.  There's still a lot of kinks to work out.

That's all for now,  take care.

It Continues...

 

The computer stress continues. We went to get a new system yesterday & they were out of stock.  I ordered  a desktop & it's supposed to be here today.  Even if it arrives, then there's the process of dealing with a new system.  

I hate all of this.  I haven't been doing well for some time.  I don't feel like I've got to come down for years.  Staying at this level of anxiousness is exhausting.  There's precious little in my life that I don't hate at the moment.  Almost everything is causing too much drama & costing me, while giving far too little in return.

I hope at least part of this lets up soon.  Take care.

Stressed Short...

 

Yesterday was one stressful event after another.  Most  of it was just annoying.  But, it wouldn't stop.   We finally made it  home & the day went alright.  Then last night my roomie's computer started dying.  Another victim of a Windows' update.

Most likely, we'll be heading out in a bit to get her a new system.   Sounds like so much fun.  I guess June is just going to be another crap  month.

I'm tired & I need to  get moving.

Cold, Grey & Annoyed...

 

It's cold this morning.  I'm hoping it gets above freezing before we go shopping.  I hate cold weather.  Cold air leads to heaters & heaters lead to dried out air that can cause nasal congestion, eye irritation, throat yuck & nose bleeds.  All of which, have been happening since the heaters have returned.  It's always a choice,  stay warm or breathe?

On this grey morning, I'm the thing that's annoyed.  It's hard to wake up.  My nose keeps threatening to bleed.  Then, an app on my computer screwed up.  I think I've avoided the bleed & the app seems repaired  for now.  I can't do anything about the grey except turn on more lights.

Winter sucks.  Take care.

Awkward Starts...

 

The new system is operational.  It's still weird & there are things that need altering.  The mouse & keyboard that came with it may not stay.  They're weirdly thin & cheap.  I have replacements of those if I need them.   Mostly, it's a go.

We have to move a lot to the curb for trash day.  It's part of the annual box-odus.  We hoard boxes all year thinking we might need them.  What isn't used by the holidays is sent away.  In that manner is the house is in better order for the new year.

Besides watching some fat squirrels & foraging birds, that's all for me.  Take care.

Cya...

Almost Finished...

 

I didn't do anything with the new system yesterday.  After not sleeping well, I didn't want to deal with anything potentially frustrating.   I think all that's left is moving some files & setting up email.  Then it should be done & I can swap them.  I'll get there. I'm not in a hurry.

That's about it for now.  Articles are still running dry.  We don't have anything planned for today.  It's supposed to rain or storm.  We need rain, not storms.  I think we're caught up.
