Short Post Electric...

 

The electric company is going to replace our power pole this morning, so this will be short.  They'll be cutting the power for a bit.  I'll post more tomorrow.

Take care.

Hello April...

 

April is here.  I hope it turns out to be easier than March.  This will be another short post.  We have to head out soon for an appointment.  Yet another early morning.  I hope these wind down a bit.  I don't handle mornings well.

That's all for now.  Hello April, be nice.

Short Post Due To Busy Morning...

 

This is going to be another busy morning.  It has been for almost a week & will continue to be for a bit.  I need to shower & go shop.  My roomie has an appointment that a friend is taking her to.  It's just a timing issue with things.  All of this while I'm just trying to wake up & function.

That's all for now, take care.

Roomie Pickup...

 

Yesterday was no fun.  I took my roomie to her appointment & of course everything took at least twice as long as they said.   We thought I'd be out of there by 11 AM, it was past 2 PM.  I have to head back now to pick her up.  This is about it for now.

BTW - Optimum sucks.  The net was off again yesterday.

Short Early Post...

 

It's too early to post much.  We've got to head out early for my roomie's appointment.  I didn't notice any articles.  I'll try to post more tomorrow.

It's too dark & chilly to be up.  Take care.

Will There Be A Shadow...

 

This is going to be short.  We have early errands to handle.  The car has to go to the shop & hopefully they can fix it.  There'll be shopping & other pickups as well.

Today is Groundhog Day & Candlemas.  Hopefully Spring won't be delayed.  This cold weather is rough on me. Yet, I'm still seeing tufts of green grass & the bugs are probably doing just fine.

That's all I've got this morning, take care.

Snow's Here...

 

It's not going to be above freezing until Tuesday.   The snow began last night & there's supposed to be more coming.  Snow isn't easy to measure.  It depends on the kind of snow, where it fell & if it's a drift.  There's been postings of 3.25" - 7"+ for my area.  Both or anything in between could be right.  Where they measured matters.   I cleared the porch & the van's windows off.   There are parts barely covered & some deep patches.  I'd say the average was a little of 4".

It's cold & my hands are hating typing.   This is it for this post.  Take care.

Interrupted..

 

I was going to post on something else, but I got a phone call & things went sideways.  I'll try to post more tomorrow.   Sorry about the short post.

Brief Again...

 

Sorry for another short post, but we need to get the car down to have the brakes done.  Stuff keeps dogpiling on our midweek.  It's tiring.  I have other things to handle besides car crap & appointments.  That's it for now.

Take care.

Short Month Winding...

 

Not much going on this morning.  It's fairly bright & going to be warmer again.  There isn't much left in the month.   It's briefness will crunch the 1st of the month stuff a bit.   Next will be bills & appointments. 

The only thing going on today is taking out trash & checking the mail.  Hopefully this will be an easy week.  We need it.

That's it for now, take care.

Chilly Thursday...

 

Short post this morning.  It was cold last night & I slept fairly deep.  That's good & bad.  I probably needed the sleep.  But, I overslept & now I'm stiff.  The cold should end soon.   I didn't see any articles & we have no plans.  With any luck, this will be a nothing day.

Take care.

It's Here...

 

The fret & dread are back.  I hate the seasonal darkening.  It feels like an attack on my well being.  A month ago, the light lasted well past 8.  Now it's sundown before 7.  There's already less than 12 hours of light in the day now.  I wish I could shut down when there was less than half a day's worth of sunlight.  

With no fans going, I can hear every noise.   Something's been waking me just before 7 AM for weeks.  It's a lot of outside crap making noise I can hear now.  To hell with morning birds, people, trains, etc...  It's cool enough the cats feel like roughhousing all night.  The cool down is changing how I sleep & how sore I am because of it. 

I hate waking up.  Nothing good ever comes of waking up.   I know there will be BS when I wake up, I'm just not sure what that will be.  What screwed up?  What needs fixed?  What did the cats do?   Am I what's messed up?  

As much as I love looking at the moon, I hate dusk & dawn.  Let it be bright or dark, but the middle crap is awful.  Shove the dismal somewhere I never have to deal with it again.   I will never understand the people who like the dismal, overcast, cloudy, foggy, dreary days.  I have serious questions concerning their character. 

I wish I didn't have to sleep.  That's when the defenses go down.  That's when we fool ourselves with dreams.  That's when stress gets creative & screws with those dreams.  Most of all, if I didn't have to sleep, I wouldn't have to wake.  If a person must sleep, they should have the option of never waking.

Little, if any good, ever comes from waking.

1st Bit...

 

The beginning of October's been handled & most of the 1st of the month bills have been paid.  What's not, will get handled Monday or online.  So October's here & I'm already hating it.  The days are shorter & temps are dropping.  

There is nothing about this time of year I wouldn't give up for steady sunshine.  I've been in a rather off state for months now, then the colonoscopy sedation happened.  After that, the moods & emotions went to 11 & my tolerance & resistance dropped to 0.

If this is the best it gets & things are just going to keep sliding downhill I'd rather not see 2025.  Hell, I didn't want 58, but here I am.  To hell with the dark of the year.  May all the perky people who love it have a horrible season.  I don't know which I despise more the dark of the year or perky people.

That's all for now.  Glad we've got things handled, Hating the change of the seasons.  

Take care.

Happy Jason Day...

 

Not much going on this Friday the 13th.  We have to go shopping & hit a couple of other places, then home.  The weather in another state knocked out our internet last night, so I'm keeping things brief to get through them.

That's all.  Don't do anything Jason wouldn't approve of or at least don't get caught.

Over A Third Down...

 

A 3rd of September has already passed.  A few bills remain, but they're mostly online.  Today will be my 7th time taking Dovato.   

It's a dark morning.  There was some rain last night.  Unless there's a lot more rain than the forecast shows, we'll probably be short on rain this month.  We're over for the year, but we still need over 3" for this month.   

There isn't much going here today.   So this is it.  Most of the articles out were praising the efficacy of long acting, injectable HIV meds.  At the same time calling them problematic with their high costs.   The expense is putting them well out of the range of most of those who these meds.  Effective or not, unless something happens to the price, they might as well not exist.

That's all, take care.

Cooler Weekend...

 

It got cooler this weekend.  We dropped into the 50s for the overnight temps.  After this it should be back into seasonal temps for a while.  Leaves are falling &  days are getting shorter.  I have no use for this autumnal fanfare.  This show just leads down a dark road of shorter days, bitter cold & the holiday season.  None of which I need or want.   

I just wanted some lackadaisical, long days with bright skies, pleasant breezes & nice temps.  There've been precious few of those the last few years.  Just muggy darkness & blazing heat for most of the Summer.  The 2000's have definitely not been something to write home about.  I definitely wouldn't recommend them.  Horrible time, bad service, pricey everything & full of loud, angry idiots.  

There's just 2 weeks until the equinox.  Another bust Summer will be over.  Then onto another failure of a Fall.  Maybe it won't be a bust, but I'm not counting on it.  Maybe the Great Pumpkin will eat everyone, that'd be novel.

Take care.

Labs Morning....

 

Another short post.  I didn't notice much in the articles this morning.   We handled our credit issues as much as we can.  My SSI renewal went off yesterday.  I have to go in for labs this morning.  That's all for now.  

Take care.

Issues & Short Post...

 

This is going to be a short post.  We have potential issues today with everything due to fall out from the hurricane in Texas.   It'd be nice if nothing happened, but it could. 

2nd, albeit it's cooler due to the weather change, the pressure is weird & the it's muggy.  Something woke me about 6 & it took me forever to get back to sleep.  Then I overslept.

I have to get my stuff handled, get a shower & then go shopping.  Maybe the weather won't suck too much before & during that.  We'll see.

More tomorrow, unless everything's down.

Offense...

 

Being offended at something seems to be the ticket to conversation these days.  I try not get offended at things since they weren't generally aimed at me.   However sometimes I wonder are these people really offended.  Maybe they're dealing with hurt feelings,  injured egos or a dissonances in expected realities.  

There's been a lot in the recent past that's bruised my feelings & my ego.  I'm usually not taken in by the dissonance, but the wasn't the case last night.   Last night I was offended or at least it felt that way at the time.

I was going to the kitchen & noticed how ridiculously dark it was outside.  Then I looked at the clock & it was just 6 PM.  For a moment I was just so offended.  How could it be this dark already?  It wasn't just evening dark either, it was pitch outside.  There was cloud cover, so the night sky was a void.  

I hate the early dark.  It's that way by 5:15PM now & will only get earlier.   After being used to have light till about 9PM, this isn't the loss of an hour, it's nearly 4.  On top of that even the morning light is also waning, no matter what the time trick says.

Depending where you are in the northern hemisphere, by Yule, the days will shorten to a brief  7 - 8 hours.  After MidSummer having between 15 - 16 hours of daylight.  That's half the light, no surprise people go nuts.  It's no wonder at the offense.

Technically, I wasn't offended.  There was no great moral or ethical outrage.  I was just caught of guard & surprised by the situation.  I can dislike the dark days, but I can't really be offended by them.  They aren't sentient.  This wasn't aimed at me.  So, I have no real offense with the dark days.  But, I do have plenty of hate.  I hates it forevers.

Weird, Loud, Dark...

 

Short post.  I woke to it being extremely dark & crashing.  Thunderstorms were underway.   I'll post this now, in case the net or power crap out later.  I'd say more tomorrow, but it could still be doing this all weekend.  

Take care.
