Demanding Car...

My  roomie's car (she calls Blair) needed to be pampered.   It decided it needed a mani, pedi, moisturizing  & massage.  It needed 4 new tires, tie rods replaced, aligned & an oil change.   Pricey, but it's just maintenance.  We haven't had to do much to this car.  The shop we use, doesn't use cheap tires, so there's a bit more.  But, they've always been good about patching & checking on tires, even if they weren't theirs.  There's also a tire disposal charge.    Oh, the perks of having a car.

BTW, the tiny little blue flowers are back in the yard.  They were a good point in my day.

Memo Received Maybe...

I think the weather finally got the memo that Spring is nearly here & is already here as far as the meteorologists are concerned.   For them Spring starts the 1st of March & the equinox is only 2 weeks away.   So pack it up Winter, your time is up.  We'll still get so chilly weather & have overnights in the 30's.  But few, if any, should be below freezing.  I'm tired of hearing the taps drip all night.  

That's about it for now.  All the articles are about the "cured" man from London.   At least a lot of professional pieces are trying to calm the mess down & explain the reality of the situation.   Not that most will listen.   People will probably try to figure out how to need/get the same procedure (transplant) that allegedly cured these 2 men.

Take care.

Still Cold...

It's still cold.  Tonight may be the last night of the season  I have to leave the taps dripping & heaters on overnight.  After tonight, the lows should stay in the 40's.  Yay!

There's another reported "Cured" HIV patient in Britain.  It happened the same way as the 1st, a transplant.   I'm not going to spend much time on this.  I don't see this as a "cure" but as a very fortunate fluke for those 2 patients.  I'm happy for them,.  But, if this was easily, consistently repeatable, we'd already see it in major hospitals.  The 1st "cured" patient was 12 years ago.    It's great for these patients, it may open doors in research, but for now, it's not a cure. 

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks out from my stroke-bleed thing.  It's weird to know that, especially after Luke Perry died.  But his stroke was a different kind & far more extensive.   I need to call about my MRI appointment soon.   I have no idea the date yet.  My spring will consist of appointments & conversations with nurses, primary care givers, neurologists, HIV specialist, imaging professionals, dental staff & optometrists.  Yay me.  That was sort of sarcasm, but it could be worse. There could be no conversations at all.

Take care.

Seriously Chilly....

I hate cold weather, so waking up to temps in the teens is not my idea of a good morning.  It's taking forever for the house to warm up.  My fingers want nothing to do with typing this morning.    This is frigid & we have errands to run, oh joy.  This is all for now.  BTW, I've been on the statin for 3 nights now, so far no issues.   More tomorrow.

Brr Again...

Winter isn't giving up just yet.  Tonight & tomorrow's overnight temps are supposed to be down in the teens.    It's drizzling & I'm pretty sure I saw some flakes in that mess.   I think they're gone for now.  We don't need snow.   This start-stop of seasonal change is really kicking my butt.   Just pick 1 & stick to it for a while.   I need a break from this crap.   Until tomorrow.

Some More 1st...

There were some 1st yesterday.  It was the 1st of March, which btw turned cold.  It was day 1 of my new med.  So far, not much to say about that.  It was also 1st solo drive for any distance since the hospital.  It went well, but I admit, it left me a little tired.   That could've been due to the gloomy day.

So far, not much happening on the 2nd day of March.  I'll wrap this up for now.  More tomorrow.

Hello - Goodbye Again...

I should've done a farewell post  to February yesterday, so goodbye February.  You were a month of 1st for me & had some bad points, but they could've been a lot worse.  Until next year.  Let's not try for a repeat of the bad.

Hello March.  It's the 1st day of it.  I could use less drama please.  My insurance got drafted, I'm expecting a delivery & I got a new med.  I was supposed to start the new med yesterday, but I forgot.  It's at a weird time for me.  I'll get used to it. DST starts on the 10th. It'll give me some darker mornings for a bit, but the light will stay longer.  

That's about it for now.  Take care.
