Last April Appointment...

 

Short post, I have to be to at a medical appointment in a bit.  Just routine, shouldn't be anything big.  But, it's a little early.  

The car thing at the mechanic sort of happened.  They told us the problem.  Then they told us it might be fixable for quite a bit time & cash.  They weren't exactly sure & leaned towards living with it for now.  So, we are.

That's all for now, take care.

More Storms...

 

More storms rolled through last night.  The weatherman was giddy.  For over 2 hours, he was positively beaming while talking about the potential of a tornado or other serious weather in our area.  It came off as creepy, grubby & inappropriate. 

This weather isn't making for good sleep.  I keep waking up stiff & achy.  It's brighter, but hazy this morning.  After 2"+ of rain, it's not surprising. 

We'll go shopping then drop the car off at the mechanic.  After that, we wait & see what they say.  That's our plans for today.

Dark April...

 

The month is ending dark & stormy.  So far, it's a lot of bluster & not too much rain.  Still, we're over the monthly average.   Tomorrow we'll go shopping & to the mechanic.  On Tuesday I have a medical appointment.  Then the 1st of the month stuff will begin again.

This weather isn't doing me favors.  It's making everything dark & pushing my SAD.  It's also making me achy, so sleep isn't great.  It's needs to brighten up & dry out some.

That's about all I have this morning, take care.

Stupidity & Recoup Take 2...

 

I'm not going to cite this, it's everywhere online.  The topic of vampire facials is back.  To start with, what a stupid concept.  People are trusting beauty "professionals" with who knows how little actual training or licensing to perform risky treatments on them.  This facial involves your face, micro needles & human blood.  Even if this didn't sound sketchy, why would you let anyone near you with needles & blood from some unknown source.  If it isn't a recognized medical office, how are they getting that blood?  Was it tested?  Now people who had no other known risks for the virus are turning up HIV+.  The concept was desperate, risky & stupid.

Hopefully Optimum can keep it's crap together & we can go about our lives.  I need a bit more recovery time to back to normal.  The weather's crap, my stress has been high & we've been busy.  Screw Optimum for sucking & adding more stress to my life.

That's all, take care.

Very Sub-Optimum...

 

Optimum replaced Suddenlink.  There was little to notice, they suck just as bad, possibly worse.  This is the 3rd outage in less than 6 weeks.  The 1st lasted over 24 hours.  This time will probably be at least that.   The customer service is automated & useless.  When you can get someone, count yourself fortunate if you understand them.  Stop packing call centers with people who have accents that heavy.

On top of that, the weather's crap.  For some reason AT&T can't keep 5G up & I keep slipping into 4G.  Nothing's working well & I hate doing things on the phone.

This sucks, hope your day is better.

Sleep...

 

For a lot of my life I've had issues with sleep.  Most were due to nerves, stress & anxiety.  For over a decade I've avoided my more serious sleep concerns.  Still, I have the occasional issues due to stress, aches, illness, noise, etc...

A single night isn't bad.  Past that, I go downhill pretty rapidly.   I've come up with some means to help me get to sleep, but they don't always work as well as I'd like.

This article is a little thin.  Still, it's about the lack of sleep impacting a person's health, specifically those living with HIV.  Sleep deprivation can lead to inflammation, which can worsen your overall health.  Again, not the most thorough of writings but worth a read.

Take care.

Recoup again...

 

I got decent sleep the last couple of nights.  It needs to happen a bit more before I'm anywhere normal.  It takes longer for me to recover from stressful things these days.

We had an outing yesterday & it went well enough.  They only offered a later viewing.   I didn't seem too bad at 1st.  As the day wore on, it was noticeable.  If a showtime is later, we'll have to adjust our plans.  Yesterday wasn't hard, just a little tiring.

We have to handle trash & run to the pharmacy.  That should be about it.  

That's all for now, take care.
