Lost Post...

 

Not sure what happened.  This hasn't happened in quite a while.  Blogger lost the post I did this morning.  OK.  I'll post again tomorrow.

High & Low Point Uggh...

 

I have an article & some crappy news.  I'll start with the article.  GlaxoSmithKline & ViiV Healthcare are have released a long acting injection of of Cabotegravir, sold as Cabenuva.  This news has been out for a bit.  It's a bimonthly injection given at the doctor's office for treating HIV.  They're currently working to extend the time between doses.  However, the news is that they're trying to have this medication be something that is self administered at home every 3 months.  They'd like to see that by the end of the decade.   This is doable.  The base meds are there.  With a little improvement & using current at home injection pens, this could happen.

On to the crap news.  At this moment, I no longer have a primary care physician.  I called to confirm my upcoming Monday appointment (it was the Wednesday before) & was told he had taken medical leave, retired & was not coming back into the office.  Now, I'm scrambling to find a new doctor.  It will probably be a nurse practitioner since there are very few actual doctors left in my area.  I have some ideas, but I'm not sure at this time.  I didn't need this stress.

That's my life at the moment.  More stress & another long term relationship ending without so much as a good bye.  

Hope things are better for everyone else.

Lost A Post...

 

I'm not sure if Blogger is critiquing my post or what, but it lost this morning's.  I'll post this for now.  It's the 1st Sunday of the month & Labor Day Weekend.  Yay! a holiday on Monday.  We really needed the mail to be screwed up at the beginning of the month.   

Not much is going here.  We'll do our 1st of  the month stuff this week & I have a telemedicine appointment.  I think that's about it.  Oh & it's supposed to get warmer again.  Didn't need that either.

Take care.

2 Things...

 

Summer issues are here.  These mornings often find me very dehydrated.  I don't sleep as deep during the Summer & wake up a lot easier.  The fans & heat are basically trying to turn me into jerky.  By morning, I'm parched.  It takes a while to get rehydrated & feel somewhat normal again.

Next topic, I've lost most the blogs I follow.  When I started blogging, I followed a few dozen.  Most of those are gone.  Under a dozen still stand.  Less than half of those post semi-regularly.  While only a couple post often.  A blogger posted a message she was retiring her blog.  She'd moved on to other formats.  I don't blame her, but there goes another thing I enjoyed.  I have means of following some of these other people still, but it's not the same.   They may be prettier & more professional, but the soul's gone.  Blogger may end someday & then I'll have to make a decision about my blog.  Do I allow an ending or  move somewhere else? I don't know.

Blogger Ate Another Post...

 

Blogger ate another post.   I blogged about ongoing issues & plans about them.  But, the post went up in smoke.  This will have to hold for now.  I'll post more  tomorrow.

Placeholder...

 

This post is a placeholder.  Apparently Blogger ate the post I did yesterday & I can't find the same article at the moment.  Maybe I'll find it again.  This is it for now.

March Friday...

It's the 1st Friday of March 2020 & also the last before Daylight Saving.  We'll be heading out soon to handle shopping & the remainder of household bills.   We need to see if our lawn guy's available this year.  If not, I'm not sure what we'll do about that.

I'm in a bit of funk this morning.  Hopefully, the change of morning light will help with that as we head into Spring.   I feel like I'm treading water & getting no where.  

Most of my life has been about losing things.  There usually isn't any replacement for what I've lost & if there is, it's never as good.   When you're raised like me, you try to hold onto things.  Losing them, is like losing part of yourself.  Having someone take them from you, even if the thing was abstract feels like an attack.   So now, even if the slightest thing is taken or threatened I feel overwhelmed, scared, angry, anxious, etc... It doesn't even have to be something I need.  It can  be something I happen to be fond of, like a cancelled TV show.  Is it life threatening?  No.  But, it still feels like a slight.  

Here's to hoping for sunny mornings.   Take care.

Another Strike...

Earlier this month, I posted about a court decision against the drug maker Gilead.  It was over patent  ownership concerning the drug, Truvada, currently used for PrEP.  This piece covers round 2, where Gilead lost again.  I'm sorry for using articles with paywalls, but I can't find this anywhere else.  

Since a notable amount of the funding & research was covered by government agencies, Gilead is not the full owner.  At this rate, they might not be the owner at all.  They may only have rights to use the formulation.  That could mean the cost for all drugs based on Truvada & it's formulations might see a serious price drop.  

The car issue seems to have been low tire pressure.   We've been up & out early every day this week.  It's not our normal schedule & it's been tiring.   The weather shifting & allergen development has added to the week's difficulty.  Last night was cold, 22 or so.  Tonight won't be quite as cold & then we'll warm up a bit.  There may still have a few more freezes in  store for us.

Take care.

Not sure what happened to Blogger today, but it lost my post.  I guess it was just a glitch.  I'll repost tomorrow. Take care.
