Lingering...

 

For some time now, we've had stuff linger on into the next month.  We haven't just been able to shut the door on a month & move on.  These things are just camped out by the door unresolved.  The problem is a lot of these issues aren't things we can control or even influence.  It's just a waiting game while things get handled.  Some of this should've been handled years ago & may not be handled until late Summer.

Even if everything got wrapped up by August, that'd just be the beginning of what this household would have to face.  It could be at least another month of more before things settle for us.   Most 2026 could get tarnished by something neither of us could control.  

May will be another month with carry over because of other people's BS.   At least we finally met our rainfall averages.

Hail...

 

It stormed again last night.   It was abrupt & not really on the forecast until right before.  It rained about 0.5", but hail was the issue.  We can go for years without any serious hail.  Maybe we get some sleet or pea sized hail, but not lately.   This was the 3rd time in a couple of weeks we've had storms with notable hail.  People east of us got much larger hailstones & the storm did some damage.  This hail BS can go elsewhere.

That's about it this morning.  It should start warming up some.  It's bright this morning.  I actually got started on washing some seasonal things to be put away.  Maybe I'll get through more this week.

Trying, But Not...

 

I tried to pull myself together yesterday.  It didn't work.  It doesn't matter what I'm trying, something else has to come along.  There was a weird light & shopping was annoying.  My roomie was having some things go on in the morning.  The weather got weird later on.  It drizzled for a bit, barely enough to register.  There's some old stuff brewing in the background that could be an issue.  I hope not, but it could be.

The light's off this morning.  I slept hard last night & woke up with a jolt for some reason.  I hate that.  I feel like I hit a wall.  The season & my year are ending.  That's never good for me.  I just have this annoying dread that something big's going to break.  I don't want to be here when it happens.  I don't have the strength to do more or fix anything.  I can't even get myself together.  It's always something else.

Bye Bye April...

 

April's ending, but it won't take all it's drear with it.  The beginning of May will be like this.  A Thursday 1st put's bill paying in a bit of weirdness, but it'll get handled.  Only normal stuff, like trash & mail are on the schedule today.   More storms are in the forecast.  

That's all for now, take care.

Goodbye April.

Oh Well Maybe Not...

 

I was hoping to be better by now, but I'm not.  Stuff keeps happening; the damned wind, the lack of morning light, pending storms, etc...  I just can't get my footing.  It's very tiring & the rest of the month looks to be crappy weather.

I've really been trying to get through this, but at the moment that isn't happening.  I'm not waking well & by the time I feel decent, the day's almost over.  Every year it's taking longer for me to get past this.  SAD sucks.

That's all for now, take care.

Getting Hot....

 

I'm still trying to get past all the stuff that's be happening lately.  I have to admit, it'd be easier if it was just a tad cooler.  The problem with this area is that it stays dark & dreary until the Summer sun breaks through.  Then it's just sweltering.  There's precious little enjoyable time in the light.  

We have to go shopping in a bit.  I'm not sure what's going to happen on the other matters.   We'll see.  That's it for now, take care.

Rough Start...

 

I mentioned yesterday some of November's drama rolled over into the new month.  We finally resolved  what we could of it on our end & sat back.  Of course, we relaxed a bit too soon.  Later that afternoon, the washing machine breaks.  It had a loadful of clothes in a basin full of dirty water.  Our regular fix it guy wasn't answering.  We managed to get someone else out to fix the thing.  It was a stressful night again.  We plan on doing as little as possible the next couple of days.  Maybe we can recover a bit.

Cya..

No Surprise...

 

I'd hoped October would be a better month than what came before, but it hasn't been.  This month has been a weird, dry, starting to chill annoyance.  Nothing is  quite where it should be, stuff is breaking & everything is taking more than it should.  If we can get the bushes handled, that will be most of need-to's for a bit.  

There's stuff to do this week.  The gas bill will get  here, I'll need a refill from the pharmacy & there's the matter of getting a flu shot.  I have things on my plate.  After that, maybe I can can see about replacing the couch.  It needs to go.

Anything else that wants to break, just don't.  No breaking, no complaining, no causing me more issues.  I'm spent & probably won't take well to much more BS.   Take care.

Nothing Sunday...

 

It's another Sunday & we shouldn't have anything to do.  I've been staying stressed lately.  The light's dimming, the temps are dropping, little things keep being issues they shouldn't be.  Everything wants a moment to be annoying.  I'm just trying to clear things off my plate for a while so I can relax & catch my breath.   Everything else keeps dumping more crap on it.  I can't take care of everything.  Most of the time, I'm doing good just to halfway get myself by.  

We have some cooler weather things that need to happen.  Some of it is being more of an issue than I thought it would.  I didn't want to, but I might have to handle it myself.  The rest of the Wintering things should be easy enough. 

That's all for now.  Just a preemptive, "To hell with the dark of the year."  Take care.

Not Much Monday...

 

There isn't much going on this morning.  It's a bit too humid.  So far, August has been mellow compared to July.  Hope that holds.  

I have to get a shower.  Then we'll go shopping.   This shouldn't be a big day for us.

That's about it for now, take care.

Delayal...

 

The recent rains pushed the temps back down.  The overnight was in the low 40s.  There was moisture build upon the windows when I woke.  Much colder & it would've been frost.  The overnight 40s are supposed to last this week.   

It's taking forever to get all the cold weather stuff put away.  Every time I wash a load, the temps drop.   Maybe this will be the last time & I get everything handled.

That's all for now, take care.

1st Of Month...

The 1st of the month rush is on us.  We have to handle the household bills this week.   I'll need to see about getting blood drawn as well.   I'm expecting my meds tomorrow.   Other than that, we don't have much going on for a bit.  It's weirdly warm  today.  It could be in the 70's.   I hope this doesn't mean an end to Winter. That could mean a rough Summer & lots of bugs.

That's it for now.  Take care.

Next To Last Wednesday...

By Christmas we'll be counting single days of the week left in the year.   Soon, we'll be in the final 10 days.  2018 has rushed by & was a weird year.  

My meds didn't arrive yesterday.  This time, it was UPS instead of my pharmacy.  They're supposed to arrive today.   Thanks for the delay.  

Our neighbor, sold her house.  It's bittersweet.  She annoyed us with her constant mowing &  leaf blowing/burning.  But she was seemingly stable.   Now, the dice have been rolled & we have no idea of what kind of neighbors we'll have next.  Hopefully, not too loud or problematic.  Only 1 lady remains on the block who's lived here as long or longer than my roomie.  She's in her 80's.  If she passed, we'll be the old people on the block.  Not a title I want.  It'll be weird to be here longer than anyone else.  This isn't a survivor I wanted to play.

Cya...

Worn Out...

I'm exhausted.  I tried to go to bed at a decent time.  As I was headed to bed, a couple of demanding things happened that needed to be handled.  The 1st was physically harder & tiring, but handled fairly quickly.   It may have to be revisited, but for now, it's covered.  The 2nd took forever.  I didn't get to sleep for another 3 hours after I  headed to bed.  

We have bills to handle & I have to run by Walmart.  It's also trash day.  This is as much of a post as I can handle today.

Take care.

Another Monday...

This weekend sped by.  It was pretty much a stressful situation since Friday night, when my roomie's computer died.  We got a new system on Saturday, but I was too tired to set it up.  Sunday was mostly spent setting up the computer.  Nothing ever goes easily.

I woke up feeling better this morning.  We had to go shopping.   I'm expecting the cable guy tomorrow morning to see what's going on with the internet speeds.   I doubt I'll get a good answer.  Suddenlink sucks.  This will be the 2nd visit for the same problem in a week.  

I'm hoping, my roomie & I are really on the mend.  This sickness thing is exhausting.  It needs to be gone.

Cya...

Still Not Good...

I'm still not in a good head.  I did at least look at the articles & they were mostly a bust.  All I saw, was that Britain's Health Service will be forced to supply PrEP.  Never mind some people actually need meds & treatments for existing issues.  Thank you  Gilead & condom hating f' abouts. 

Last night was the 1st serious cold night.  It was only in the mid 30's F, but still, it was nippy.  We're supposed to warm back up into the 70's today.  Maybe the bugs will dies off.  

That's all I have for now.  Stay safe.

Cya...

It's Chilly...

It's definitely chilly here.  It's supposed to get a little warmer tomorrow, not much.  The days of 80's are gone for the year.  But the 70's will linger on for a while longer.

I need to go pick up my lab results tomorrow.  I'll take them with me to Tulsa.  I have an appointment on the 19th.  Hopefully, after that I will be back with the doctor I saw via telemedicine.   I still miss that.  It sucks they killed it & no, I probably won't ever get passed it.

The next couple of weeks will be busy.  We have a lot going on & trips to make.   We'll have to try not to let it wear us out too much.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Cya...

Progress...

The 1st of the month stuff is underway.  It's always a rush, but there's a bit more happening this week due to schedule rearrangements.   Still, most of the bills are dealt with or will be this upcoming week. 

The van project is done.  We won't be sure if it works until the van gets driven at higher speeds for a bit.  With any luck, it'll stick.

My doctor appointments are handled for the month,  That still leaves stuff for my roomie & we both need to get eye exams handled.   I'll get blood drawn at the end of the month.  

That's all for now.
