Morning Busyness...

 

This morning could be hectic.  We have business & busyness.  Shopping needs to be handled.  But now we're waiting to hear from a repairman about fixing the fridge's ice-maker issue.  The van should be finished today as well.  All of this had to be on a frigid, Monday morning. 

Other than that, there's just normal stuff going on.  Hopefully, this goes smoothly today.  All my labs are in & they look mostly reasonable.   

That's it for now, take care.

More On...

 

I'm trying not to be bouncing off the walls anxious, but it's not going well.  It's the proverbial domino effect of crap.  I still don't have the van back, they didn't get finished.  I thought that would be the worse news I got yesterday.  I was wrong.  The ice-maker in the refrigerator isn't working & it's causing a small leak.  Of course this happened on Friday & we can't get anyone until Monday.

I've been trying to write about the return of the little blue flowers in the yard.  Normally, they can make me happy, but that's a tall order this year.  They still make me smile.  Warmer, brighter days are on the way.  Just 15 days until the time change.

That's all for now, take care.

Just Another Saturday...

It's the last Saturday of January.  Not a lot going on with us today.  Roomie did some organizing, but that's about it.  Too many people around of are sick.  We're setting here like we're warding off vampires with crosses & garlic.  Keep your sickness from us.  

It's weird, Saturday mornings used to mean we'd be  watching America's Test Kitchen.  We no longer watch that show, not since Chris Kimball left.  It's just not the same.  There've been a lot of changes in our lives this year.  My roomie & I have had enough of it for a while.  My dentist changed, 2 people at our mailbox place no longer work there.  1 had been there for a decade.  It's weird going there & not seeing her.  

This morning has been a bit stressful.  The ice-maker was frozen.  I used a hair dryer to thaw it & it seems to be working.  For how long is the question.  I think the thing is overfilling.   May have to call a repair man.  Great, more $ will ahve to be spent.

Maybe it's fixed.  Maybe some of the changes can calm down for a while.  A little less stress would be nice.

Fridge Guy...

The fridge repair guy was here & hopefully, this will fix the ice-maker.  I'm sick of fighting with that thing.   I've got things to do, since I burnt the morning waiting for this guy. I'll post again tomorrow.   

Here's hoping.

Busy Morning...

Sorry, but this will be brief.  I"m spent.  We had a lot of annoying errands this morning.  We didn't get back for hours & I'm tired.   The Fridge guy is coming again to see if we can we get this ice maker working.  I hope this is the last time & everything works.  Again, I'm done in for the day. But, at least most of the bills are paid.

Disappointed..

There has been a series of disappointments lately.   

• The gas line leaked & cost us $$$
• The sewer line had to be repaired
• The fridge is dying
• The new fridge costs $$
• I couldn't handle all the yard work this year
• The damn peach tree is still standing
• The fridge's arrival has been delayed twice

We've had plumbers & repairmen,   We've had the yard guy that failed to do what he was supposed to do.  We've felt like crap.  We're tired.  We're stressed.  We just needed something to go right & get some of this BS off our plate.

I handled some of the yard work today.   My hands are still vibrating.  I'm typing even crappier than normal.    A day or 2 more & the cutting on the yard should be done, except for the blasted tree.  I may have to buy an ax,   Then we can get to gathering stuff up for send off.

I gotta go.  I'm tired & I need a shower.

PS - At least the pharmacy didn't screw up my order this month.  There's that at least.

Another Failure & Another Problem...

Less than a year later, another man on PrEP has contacted HIV.  This man was in New York & his physician has evidence he was taking the medication as prescribed.  It seems the patient encountered a drug resistant strain.  That isn't surprising, those strains are mostly resistant to the medications in PrEP drugs such as Truvada.   Remember this is just the 2nd case reported, not necessarily the 2nd case.  These 2 cases were also of people strongly adhering to their regimens.  What of those that don't?

On to the failure.  The hissing refrigerator mystery is solved.  It was a fine, water leak.  That's fixed, but the compressor isn't.  We had to get a new fridge, there goes a lot of $$$.  It should be getting here soon.  This Fall is so seriously sucking.

I need to wrap this up.

More...

I thought the gas was leaking already yesterday.  I even called the plumbers.  I think it's actually the refrigerator hissing at us.  It's been running almost non-stop & making a leaking, hissing noise.  Just 1 more thing to add to the mountain of crap.  Hopefully, it won't be too difficult a fix.  

The repair people are supposed to be here this afternoon.  This crap has me strung out & exhausted.  Fall always bites me in the ass.  I still haven't got the peach tree dealt with, but we've called a guy who can handle it.  That's right tree, we put a hit on you. Hah!  Then the yard stuff can get finished.  After that, it's just getting the winterizing handled.

Hope your having a better day.
