October Monday Stuff...

 

Its the last Monday of the month.  There'll be shopping & maybe some errands.   I called in my meds this morning.  Dovato has to be ordered, so it'll be midweek before I can pick them up.  I'm still chipping away at the yard work & Winter prep.  I'm taking this slower.  Maybe I won't do myself in this time.  

Fall's bringing changes in light levels, temps, pressure, etc...  It's making it hard to sleep.   Allergies are still thriving & making breathing scratchy.  I don't handle any seasonal change well.  Add to that, the time change happens this weekend.  I hate that.

October's wrapping up.  I doubt I'd need both hands to count the places I've seen with Halloween decorations.   Store's holiday sections are smaller than last year.   There probably won't be much, if any, of a cheap chocolate day.  We at least watched the Great Pumpkin last night.   That may be it for our halloween.

Take care.

New Site For Me...

 

I found a new to me site, it's The Well Project.  I'm not going to say much about it, other than it seems to be a possible resource for women/girls living with HIV & those wanting info on the matter.  I think it began in the early 2000s.  There aren't many resources developed for women dealing HIV, so this was a find.  Give it a look.

Yesterday's shopping & errands ran us well into the late afternoon.  It was after 6 by the time we got home.  I'm not used to that much outing & it wore me out.  My feet are still hating me.  Being in the car that long wasn't easy.  I didn't sleep well because I was so stiff & achy.  I should've taken an ibuprofen but I didn't think about before going to bed.

There shouldn't be anything to do today.  Yay for us.  That's it for now, take care.

Surprise Errand...

 

This should've just been a shopping day & that was it.  But, there was a mistake with a delivery.  My roomie received something meant for a friend that's needed tomorrow.  We either take it or it won't wind up getting there.  Luckily it's not far off.

That's going to stretch our day out quite a bit.  I'll probably be spent after, but it needs to be handled.  The articles were repeats so that's all for now.  Take care.

Getting Things Started...

 

We'll handle bank stuff, some bills, groceries & errands today.  With the holiday & the way the month fell, we'll need to do more today than normal.  Monday's mail is already late arriving.  With the Saturday holiday it may be really delayed.

As far as I know this stuff will be all we have to handle today.  That's be OK, it's getting hot.   We don't have any plans for the holidays, we haven't in years.  

That's it for now, take care.

Lasts of June Things To Do...

 

June's nearly done.  We have some errands & shopping this morning.  It's the last grocery run of the month.  It's getting hot, the AC will be on soon.  

There wasn't much for articles this morning.  I did manage to get a hold of my specialist.  They hadn't set my telemed appointment.  The appointment used to be made before I left the current meeting.  They haven't had a consistent staff in some time.  Any way, appointment & lab dates are set.

That's all for this morning.  Take care.

Could've Gone Better...

 

This crappy 2026 Spring continues with more haze, drear & storms.   It's gotten hot, but any light has been fleeting.  This muggy, dark mess sucks.  It rained more last night.  A little more & it'll double the monthly rainfall average.  

Neither of us felt well yesterday.  I wound up forgetting something we planned on doing.  It'll have to get handled this morning on top of all the normal Friday stuff.   Way to go me, make more of a mess for yourself.

I need to get around.  We have shopping & errands.  Hopefully nothing else pops up.  

Take care.

The Lasts Of May...

 

Today is Memorial Day & the last Monday of the month.  Soon, the whole 1st of the month thing will start again.  I'm not happy with this month.  It's brighter this morning, but most of May has been overcast to stormy dark.  I'm just trying to get my head in a good place & not much seems to be cooperating.

Shopping is the only thing on the list for today.  This week will be a little busier, due to some appointments in Fort Smith.  Nothing big, just have to drive over & back.  

That's all for now, take care.

It Was A Dark & Stormy...

 

Not a great morning for waking.  It's dark & has been storming for a bit.  Our area can't just do rain showers anymore, it's always got to be storms.  This has been loud & dark.  I have to go shopping in a bit.  That won't be fun.  

We're getting to the end of April & it hasn't been a great Spring.  There's still a lot going on that we have no real idea about.  Hard to make a plan without any solid info.  

Other than going shopping, there shouldn't be much going on today.  That's it for now.

Take care.

More Needed...

 

It's going to be a colder, stormier weekend.  We need the rain, but not the storms or darkness.   We've been short on rainfall this year.  

I managed to get a decent night's sleep.  It wasn't enough.  I'm still worn out.  A single night isn't going to cut it.  It doesn't help this morning is hazy, windy & pollen ridden.

It's the 1st of the month & bills must be handled.  Then we'll go be shopping, check mail & hopefully home.  I've had enough outings for a bit.

That's all for now, take care.

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.

Maybe Warmer...

 

It's supposed to get above freezing in the next hour.  It'll be nice to turn off the dripping faucets.  This weather & the heaters have been hard on my breathing, skin & eyes.  My hands are red & there's been a few nosebleeds.  I hate cold weather.  

The next few days should be above freezing.  We'll still need drips & stoves at night, but maybe not all day long.  That'd help my breathing out a lot.   There's still 40 days until the time change.  But the light's staying a bit longer every day.  Winter just sucks.

I'm going to try shopping today.  We'll see how that goes.  Tomorrow will be trash day & then on Thursday my roomie has an appointment.

That's it for now, take care.

Another Busy Week Begins...

 

It's still cold, but better than yesterday.  I need to get cleaned & go shopping.  After that, we'll have some errands.  There won't been any mail today, so that adds to tomorrow.

There's an early, long appointment tomorrow.  It'll keep us going most of the day.  This shouldn't be hard, just annoying & drawn out.  

My roomie has stuff filling up the rest of the week.  I don't particularly have much until the end of the week.  I'm glad, this weather is no friend of mine.  It's making sleep rough.  The dry air due the cold & heaters is harsh.  With the fuzz from blankets & allergens, I'm left coughing, sneezing & wheezing.  All that has lead to itchy eyes & nose bleeds.  

That's all for now, take care.

Only 2 Full Days Left...

 

In some ways I'm so ready for this year to be over.  Then I'm also very apprehensive about 2026.  It's not like I've got a choice, but still, the options aren't great.  It would be easier not to focus on it if the orange wasn't present.  Then again, if he wasn't here, things probably wouldn't be so bad. 

This will probably be the last shopping of the year.  Then the last run to the bank & pharmacy.  It's almost over, 2025's bags are packed & it's about out the door.  It'll head off to wherever last years go when their days run out.

That's it for now, take care.

1st Week Of November Done...

 

The week is handled & it doesn't look like next week will be as busy.  Shopping & Friday errands should be all there is today.  It'd be nice to have a quiet weekend.  Too bad it's supposed to get cold.  This could be our 1st freeze.  

The benefit matter is still up in the air.  The government shutdown is ongoing & the current administration is utterly useless & debased.  This needs to get fixed soon.

That's all for now, take care.

Busy Week...

 

This is going to be a busy week for us & it'll be followed by the 1st of the month stuff.  Little of this is of my doing or volition. The benefit crap has put us in a bind & there are lot appointments, errands & regular week things to be handled.  

It's a dark, wet morning & I'm already tired.  So far, being 59 has absolutely sucked.  Nothing good comes from the dark of the year.  A few sparkles, bits of candy & holiday specials can't fix these crapfest months.  On top of that, the time change is this weekend.  It'll be even darker.  

That's all for now, take care.

Should've Been...

 

Because of car issues, we need to handle shopping today.  This should've been a nothing day.  Things hate when we get those & do their best to screw things up.

This will be short.  I need to shower & handle some things before we go.  I'm sorry I say this so much, but I need things to let up.  I'm exhausted & nerved out.  I really wish either things would end or I would.   This has just been too much, for too long.  My roomie has some future plans that sound good.  I'm not sure about me.  I'm tired of just surviving & not even doing that well.

That's it for now, sorry for the downer post.

Busy Last Monday...

 

The next 2 days are going to be rushed.  We have appointments & errands.   We'll go shopping in a bit & then head out for my eye appointment.  Tomorrow will start earlier & last longer.  Wednesday will have some stuff on it & a friend may be over Thursday.  Friday will shopping & 1st of the month stuff.   

September was a difficult month this year.  It usually is for me, but not normally this busy.  Fall suckage is in full swing.

That's it for now, take care.

Last Friday Of September...

 

Since Wednesday, we've been in the lasts of the month.  We've left the time of Virgo & entered Libra.  We're going deeper into the awful 'Ber months & dark of the year.  The light is fading fast.  I really hate this.  

I have an eye appointment on Monday.  Here's hoping nothing screws up before or during.  My eyes may have changed a little but my glasses seem fine.  I'll find out then.

Heading out for shopping, so this is it for now. Take care.

Short & Late....

 

After too many rushed, early mornings, I overslept.  I need to get around, so I can handle shopping & errands.  We'll be driving the car today, hope it works well.

This early stuff isn't over yet.  I'll have to shop on Sunday instead of Monday.   We need to get the van to the mechanic & then go to an appointment for my roomie.  September is being so busy & there's more stuff ahead.  

That's all, take care.

Busy Hot Monday...

 

We have a busy morning in front of us.   We have to go shopping, run some errands, pay a bill & then take the car to the mechanic.  This will all be done in the van, which is hot.  Then we have to wait to see what needs to be done to the car & how much that will cost.  I'll need labs drawn mid week.  My roomie will have to see about a redo appointment.  This is going to be a hot, irritating & expensive week.

So much for a nice August.  That's all for now, take care.
