My roomie has an appointment this afternoon. I hope everything actually lines up well. Lately even our simplest of plans have gone up like a trash fire. They were good plans. We just didn't count on the stupidity & inadequacy of people.
We were looking for somewhere to eat after the appointment. Damn, the cost has gotten ridiculous. We'll see where we wind up.
That's about it for now. I still have some morning & Wednesday stuff to handle before I shower. Take care.

OK, even though everything with my roomie's appointment has seemingly gone well, it was still a rough day. It started way too early, after barely any sleep, the hot day started. From there, it just hotter, longer & more tiring.
We got back earlier than expected, but it was overwhelming. The temps hit 100+ early & didn't drop til sundown, then the humidity climbed. August, looks to seriously hot & dry. We've still had no rain & there isn't any in the forecast.
That's it for now. I'm still worn out. Take care.

Again, things tilted. My roomie needed some tests run for an upcoming appointment. They were at the hospital in Ft Smith. We ended up in the ER after, due to some medical issues she's having. We left before 2 PM & didn't get home until past 1 AM.
I'm exhausted & not sure how well I'll be doing. We didn't need this. I didn't need this. I'm past tired. The house was hot when we got home & never cooled down. We have to go get her scripts in a bit. But for now, I need to hydrate & get a shower.
If August doesn't do me in, I'm think September will. Every year's a little worse, but 2026 is taking a much bigger bite. I don't know how much longer I can do things like this.
Take care.

Yesterday was an odd day. My roomie wasn't feeling well. It wasn't the coolest day, but it wasn't too hot. The cool moment is about to evaporate.
Today is bill day. It also means a trip to the bank & shopping. There might be some other errands.
This piece is more on the weekly oral med being developed by Gilead & Merck. If the price is decent it could lead away from daily pills. It might be he 1st, but if it pans out, it won't be the last. Weekly could replace daily, just like daily replaced hourly.
That's it for now, take care.

Things didn't go as they were hoped for yesterday. My roomie will need to handle more with her current medical situation. Between that & a dental appointment, things are going to be busier than normal for the next several weeks. It seems we seldom get our preferences an more.
We'll go shopping in a bit & handle a couple of errands. After that, we should be done for the day. It's supposed to get hot this weekend. It is July.
That's it for now, take care.

In a bit of a hurry this morning. We have to be out of here soon. My roomie has an appointment. Not a problem, but I had some stuff to handle & of course other things had to try to pile on. Other stuff is just going to have to wait a bit.
There's been a reprieve from the heat, but not the humidity. By Saturday, the Summer temps will return. It'd be nice to ditch the humidity, but that probably won't happen.
That's it for, take care.

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.

For a while, my roomie has made commitments to herself to try to make changes in her life. I won't comment on those these, but I will say they were for her benefit & of her choosing. These were things she pursued & bit by bit she made progress.
I'd like to make a few notes here. She choose to these pursuits & they were to improve her life & well being. She made choices & adhered to the steps it took to get there. She put in the effort to make these things happen.
There is something important, acknowledgement. She will be wrapping up some parts of her journey soon. There needs to recognition a set goal was met & possibly exceeded. There needs to be a goodbye to these things. The steps she took, the place she was, those who aided her & to the self that opted to begin this journey.
All of these things may have just been the beginning, but she took the steps. She's no longer where she was, nor is she who she will become as this continues. Acknowledgement, recognition & farewells are important. Her life may be improving, but she's still leaving an aspect behind. All of this deserves it's moment.
Make your goals, your plans, take your steps, keep record of your pursuit. But never forget how & why you're heading down your path. Take care.

It figures the 1st week of 2026 is ending on a trash day. This is the 1st haul of garbage to the curb of the year. It's back to our normal date. The last 2 weeks got bumped to Saturday due to holidays. At least we didn't have to deal with the not having trash hauled off for 3 weeks. That would've been a mess.
There's more appointments for my roomie today. Those might start slowing down in a week or so. She's handling a lot right now.
I used to worry, that if something were to happen to me, she'd have a hard time. Not just with me not being there, but the day to day stuff. I think she's getting to where that might not be easy on her, but she could handle it. If not right this moment, then in the foreseeable future. That makes things a little more secure.
That's it for now, take care. Goodbye 1st week of 2026.

There's only 1 more Friday left in 2025. There's less than a week until Christmas & not even 2 weeks left in the year. I've said it a lot the last few years, none of this feels like the holidays. The sparkle, wonder & anticipation of the season is just gone. I doubt I'll live to see it again. It might pop in small bits or places that put on a show like Silver Dollar City, but I think the twinkle has left the building.
My roomie has a lot on her plate today. So, shopping will need to be handled a bit quicker than usual. She'll handle her family event this weekend & we'll do whatever we're going to next week. We'll see what that turns out to be.
That's it for now. Take care.

My roomie's appointment well & different than she expected. That means no more appointments until next week. She has an appointment on Monday & the car has to be back in then as well. The rest of this week is normal stuff. It'll just be in the van. I need to get an eye exam soon & get a new prescription. It'd be nice if nothing else screwed up this week.
That's all for now, take care.

We had an odd start, so this post is late. A friend ran my roomie to her appointment, because the van had to go in for repairs & the car is still having issues. This day is off.
It's been a rough month & this will be a brief post. I'm just going to try & catch up on some rest today & do as little as possible. I'm used to the time around my birthday being rough, but not most of the whole month.
That's it for now, take care.

I don't want to be here anymore. I haven't for most of my life. This thing call living sucks or at least it has for me. I was trying to deal with all the crap & potential issues in my life & then it just had to happen. It got worse.
After my roomie's appointment, the car started acting up again. Most likely another notable expense dealing with the AC. We won't be able to get the car into the mechanic until Monday. So that's several days were dependent on the hot van. If this was cooler weather that wouldn't be an issue. But the van's AC is horrible & takes forever to do anything. By the time it started kicking in, we'd be home.
There will hot days in the van handling things. Then my roomie needs a re-do, because they didn't get something right during her appointment. To all those jerks who always say, "It could be worse," I've always known that. I usually does for me. I'm always waiting for the next shoe to drop. I hope the worse things come your way in abundance.
That's the recent episode of the crapfest known as my life, take care.

I'm trying to get around a little quicker this morning. I don't know if that will work or not. My roomie has an appointment. I still need to get around & cleaned up. Here's hoping it doesn't rain anymore for a bit. It's steamy & bugs are everywhere.
The FDA formally approved Lenacapavir for use in the US. This could be a game changer, especially if they do something about the price. Too bad they probably won't.
That's it for now, take care.

It's benefit renewal time & I did the application last night online. The I got a text, apparently I've been selected for a phone interview. I called & the wait time is at least 20+ minutes. So, I'm listening to annoying muzak. I guess most on-hold music is fairly annoying when you're just trying to get something done.
I'll do this & get cleaned up. We have to run my roomie back for a follow up appointment. There will be a few of these. This won't be the easiest process.
That's all for now, take care.

It's an early morning for us. My roomie has an appointment & we have to get going. This is going to be a long day. The process my roomie is starting is going to take quite some time & effort to get through. Other than that, there isn't much to post about. I'm just trying to wake up & hydrate before we have to leave. Mornings suck.

Today's going off norm. We're doing Monday's shopping because my roomie has a day of appointments tomorrow. Today will be odd, but tomorrow's going to be tiresome. We have leave out early & spend most of the day handling things.
My roomie's heading into a challenging process. It should make things better for her though. It's going to be a process. The problem during times like this, is life goes on, no matter how you're doing. She's done what she can to prepare, now it's just doing it.
I will try to post tomorrow, hopefully I won't forget.
Take care.

Come Monday, my roomie will start a new "project" for herself. It's a health matter, so I won't go into too much detail about it. But, it will be a big deal for her & change a lot in her everyday life. The process won't last forever, but will take some adjustments. While it may not seem like it in the beginning, this could improve her well being. The problem with health issues is that it's always a process. We're rarely told that bit. It's going to be a busy start of the week.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
