October 2026 is running out, this is the last Sunday. This is the last week of light before the hellish time change kicks in. There'll be early voting this week. It'd be nice if this went well. I'm not holding my breath. Oklahoma has a lot of masochistic idiots.
There wasn't much to post about this morning. I'll wrap this up. Take care.

This is the last Sunday of August. My year will end on a Monday. I guess it's better than starting there. Labor Day will run late this year. It's usually closer, if not on, my birthday. We'll enter the 'Ber months, without any brr. September's supposed to stay hot.
We're having a friend over later. Other than that, not much is going on here today. That's fine, it's hot again & I really don't want to deal with the heat.
Take care.

August is underway & there's less than a month before my year's up. Unless, I'm wrong, I should be getting a renewal this year. I'm dreading this. This month is making me ill. I go to sleep with things buzzing in my head & I may have a moment after waking before it all comes back. Sometimes, it even invades my sleep & gives me stress dreams.
The problem is these worries are real. These lingering issues always seem ready to drop. I hate waking up. Maybe a few minutes of peace & then it all crashes back over me. By the time I get out of bed, I'm already emotionally spent & fairly worn out.
Last night was the 1st night I got decent sleep in a while. It won't help. The hot nights will return & the anxiety never leaves. I'm just tired. I should've never made it this far. Even if I get through August alright, then comes September, my worst month. Then Fall begins. This fight was lost before it began.
Take care.

The weather's been weird for May. It's be cooler, darker & definitely wetter than usual. We've been seasonally warm only to drop back into the mid 40s. We haven't met our rain average, but the rain keeps coming in stormy dumps. There's been a lot of hail.
The biggest issue for me is the lack of light. It's making really pulling out of SAD difficult. Everything is just dragging on & nothing seems to be getting resolved.
That's about it for today. Take care.

I don't think we have anything to do today. It all starts back up tomorrow & runs through the week. There are several appointments, errands, bills, shopping & car things. That's probably leaving things out like yard stuff & getting meds.
I've finally started Fall yard stuff. I was dealing with a bush when I got a surprise. It was full of fire ants. They covered my lower left arm. There are several stings from the elbow down to my hand. There are a couple on my right side & a sting on the back of my neck. I hate fire ants. They serve no purpose here, let them die.
That's all for now, take care.

This week isn't going to be fun. We have to take the car in again. My roomie basically has to have a redo on her appointment. I also need labs drawn for my telemedicine appointment in early September. This week is going to crammed, expensive & hot.
I don't have a lot to add beyond that. Take care.

This may be the last of respite from the heat, but it's been nice. We didn't get the rain & the 1st day was muggy. But yesterday & this morning so far have been fairly pleasant.
The heat will return, it's August. I've been trying not to focus on the negatives. That's not easy when there's not much positive going on around you. The problem is that I don't see that changing any time soon, if at all.
The best I can do this morning is just enjoy the cool air blowing through the window. That's about it for this today. There's not been a lot to post about lately. I'll keep looking.

We don't have anything planned for today. It'd be nice if nothing comes up. It was hot yesterday & looks to be like way for the duration. It is Summer. If the haze, clouds & humidity would just move on for a while. You can always tell someone who's not from an area with high humidity. They'll be like, that's not that hot. Then they face the heat & humidity & double over. Wet heat, is so much worse than hot, drier air.
Hope everyone's Summer is going well. Take care.

The final Sunday of June is going to be hot & muggy. It's already very warm & humid. Of course the season couldn't ease into into things. It went from dark & awful to sweltering. Like most things around here, the weather sucks.
There isn't much going on today & I hope it stays that way. This week will be the 1st of the month & a holiday. That'll make things cramped.
That's it for now. Take care.

This morning's weird light levels are hard on the eyes. Cloud cover only blocks direct light, not all the UV or glare. It looks like we could finally get hot midweek before dropping back down. Other than that day, most of the forecast is for cloudy, mostly cloudy & stormy days. Way to suck May. Adding to the off light, are the still high levels of pollen. The cooler, wetter & darker days of making bugs way too abundant already.
Not much nice to say about this 2nd Sunday of the month. It doesn't look like the rest of the month will do better weather wise, but that could change. That's it for now, take care.

It's hazy this morning after storming last night. For all the noise, it didn't rain much. It's looking like we'll a little short on rainfall for the month. The beginning of April will probably be as dark & wet. That'll be great, start the 1st of the month stuff in the rain.
I'm still a little wrecked from the last few days. Yesterday could've been better, if not for the jolty wake up. It'd been nice if this month ended better, but that won't happen.
Take care.

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.

This is the last weekend of January. It's fairly dreary out & there's a small chance for some rain. The warm reprieve is going away for a bit. We didn't even have heaters last night. That won't be the case for the next couple of days. It's dipping back under freezing for overnight temps. It is still January.
The articles have caught up to the PEPFAR situation I posted about yesterday. There were some other pieces, but most focused on the pause in funding due to the orange stain. The problem is the people who supported that man are fine with others dying.
That's all for now, take care.

The last Sunday of the year is grey & dismal. It's hard to wake up on mornings like this. I tried to find articles this morning, but the only things I found were blips or behind paywalls. Blips are useless & most pieces behind paywalls I've eventually found elsewhere. So far, none of them would've been worth paying for. Many of these pieces are rambling rehashes of other articles. Most of those remaining are too professional for the average reader to glean much from.
That's all for this last Sunday. The month & year are ending. Some are nervous about that. I believe the saying, "Things can always get worse." That adage has usually held. Will 2025 be worse? Maybe, but IMO very little in the 2000s has been that good.
Take care.

This is the last Sunday of October. Halloween is almost here & to be honest, I don't really care. I hate that. This used to be my favorite holiday.
So much of what I enjoyed is gone & what's left I can't muster much excitement for. I should've never stayed long enough to see this. I wonder whose sick joke it was for me to live this long. Hell, it was probably mine. Another plan that backfired.
It's hazy again this morning & I don't feel well. I spent most of yesterday tired, achey & just feeling off. I thought sleep might help, but it didn't.
The light is almost gone & this is the last week before the hellish time change. I'll lose an hour of light, just some morning asshats can have it. Sunset next Sunday will be 5:41. I hope that hour of morning light brings those damn morning people misery.
The dread is hear. I don't know how well I'll fare this year. The Summer was weak & frustrating. I don't have high hopes for the dark seasons this time around. It's really hard to be this exhausted & out of it all the time & the season's just beginning.
That's all for now. Take care.

It was another chilly night, but not cold. After tonight, the temps should warm back up into the 50s overnight. That will make a difference in sleeping.
It's bright this morning & I slept better. I don't want to get used to this. In a little bit that stupid time change will happen. Then it'll all start over.
I hate this time of the year. Everything's faded & browned. The only vibrance out there is on some birds & evergreens. I already miss the butterflies & lightning bugs. I wish I'd seem more dragons this Summer. I only saw 3 hummers. 1 of those was at McDonald's on a some orange & pink flowers.
This was not an easy Summer & never felt like I got what I needed out of it. Now, Fall's here & I already feel like I'm running on fumes. I didn't need this year.
That's all for now, take care.

It's the last of September, only 1 more day & this month will be over. I can't say the other 'ber months will be any better, but Sucktember has never been a good time for me. We don't have anything planned for today. Maybe we can finish this month out without more drama. That'd be great, but I'm not holding my breath.
The article cupboard was bare & what was there was rehash. That's it, take care.

This is a sunny, warm morning. Without gripes or articles this post will be brief. Tomorrow will start bill paying & 1st of the month stuff. Wednesday errands will be handled on Tuesday due to my telemed appointment.
By this time next week we'll be an hour ahead. The equinox is on the 19th. Followed by Easter at the tail end of the month. After 2023, a calm Spring would be appreciated. We might not get it, but it would be nice.
Take care.
