Meh Morning...

 

I know some people love this time of year & think it's  the best.  Simply put, they're wrong.  This time of year is dismal, cold & off putting.  

We need to deal with shopping & that's about it.  There's a chance for wintry weather this afternoon.   Here's hoping we don't get any of it.  As far as I'm concerned, I'd tell you festivity has left the building, except I wasn't that festive to begin with.  

That's all for now.  Take care.

A Certain Level...

 

There's a certain level of ongoing stress I can function with on a daily basis.  I becomes like static in the background.  The problem is for most of this year, the stress levels have been right up to my tolerable levels.  So, when anything else happens, I'm strung out, frazzled & exhausted.  I'm dealing with that at  the moment with the light change.  It might not have been that big a deal in years past, but 2022 has sucked.  Every time, an irritant gets dealt with, another shows up.  A lot of our issues had been caught  up with, then some of our plans for furniture  crumbled.  New plans were made, then the van screwed up.  Van issue gets mostly resolved & the gas company wants to screw with the pipes during the cold months.  On & On...

I"m just trying to clear my plate a bit.  At this rate, I'm just going to let it all drop & say to hell with it.  Very little in my life at the moment isn't a stressor.  On top of all that, it's  getting darker.

1st, Last & Ongoing...

 

Last night was the 1st time the kitchen stove was left on overnight.  It got chilly & there are no signs of a  warming out of the 40's for a week.  At least it's a sunny morning.

I had to jump the van again yesterday.  That lasted 14 days.  It'll be hard to tell what's going on with the cold setting in on the area.  If it keeps happening, either the battery is dying or there's something draining it.  Either way, it'll mean another trip to the mechanic.

There's an ongoing thing with the gas company.  They want to move the meter up against the house.  We don't want that. There other pipes in the way they want to go.  We have zip faith in their ability not to take out our water/sewer pipes.  Then they'd probably drop the entire fixing of the situation on us.  They seem happy with an alternative they offered.  They'll leave it where it is & just put some guards near it.   Funny, it's been in the spot for decades, now they're worried about the meter.

That's it for now.  Take care.

Lag...

 

This piece was interesting.  The article details a study over the "jet lag" experienced by HIV+ people over 40.  The research is limited at this time, but the gist of it is mature, HIV+ people are temporally off.  They don't fall asleep as early or sleep as long as HIV negative people.   People in this state often feel tired & out of synch.  This could contribute to other health issues.  The next step is to find out if younger people living with HIV also endure this "lagging."

Still Not Used To It...

 

Not much in the way of anything this morning.  This week hasn't been easy on me.  I'm still trying to adjust to the light change.  I hate the early dark.  I also had to move my thyroid med by an hour.  That med  always messes with me if I'm late taking it.  My stomach/digestion always takes ahit when I'm not prompt with the thyroid med.  I'll be adjusted soon, for the med, no the dark.  I most likely won't adjust  for the dark.   

That's all for now, take care.

Not Surprised....

 

Irritated, but not surprised.  Yesterday, a majority of the people showed how disgustingly predictable they were.   Americans & Oklahomans, both choose to dig deeper into the mire instead of looking for a way out.  A lot of voters were party zealots.  Probably more,  were just impatient brats that didn't get what they wanted out of the Biden administration on Day 1.  I'd love to blame it on voting being a scam.  But, I think it's just the sheer hateful, indulgent stupidity of voters.  This is why I can't stand most people.

Election Day...

 

It's election day.  Most articles are focusing on safe rehash or zooming in on the election.  Either way, not much for my blog today.  That's all for now.

Take care & go vote.
