Nov 23-28
Saturday, November 23, 2024 My skin is dry, I’m freezing in a 72-degree house, and I’m on the second day of being stuck. My TSH must be sky-high, which means the weight loss is connected to what...
Nov 15-22
Friday, November 15, 2024 The Turkey Trot challenge just came out! It includes five rides in Turkey, and you have a whole month to complete it. Of course, I’ll finish well in advance. The rides ...
Nov 9-15
Saturday, November 9, 2024 I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of where we want to move. The climate here is warm, Oregon was cold, and Citrus Heights fell somewhere in between. The climate in ...
Nov 1-8
Friday, November 1, 2024 Why must life be so complicated? And why must it be so full of what you don’t want, with so much settling for second best? Unsurprisingly, I’m not going to be able to ge...
End of the Month
Sunday, October 27, 2024 How do people see their phones outdoors? I’m outside now, not even in direct sunlight, and I can barely see the screen. Talk-typing now and hoping for the best. I think ...
Ask Me Anything
I’m open to any questions that don’t involve sensitive info. ;)
8-Bit Lair
I guess I’ll allow comments again as long as spammers can stay away, and those with different opinions can respect that this is my journal and that I have zero tolerance for rudeness. Again, I d...
Frozen Shoulder?
I was sitting here, relaxing, and thinking of Nane when I caught myself saying, “There you go again, thinking of others who never think of you.” But thinking is harmless. As long as I continue t...
Dreaming Big
Yesterday was a good day, but today the fatigue is back. Having to deal with so much fatigue is not only frustrating because it interferes with my daily life, but I also honestly don’t know how ...
No Breathing Room
Not having any breathing room around us really gets to me. There’s a truck parked between us and Ray. I checked the cam, and they arrived around 9:30 last night—a couple. I wonder if Ray knows. ...
Spinach Spaghetti
I made spinach spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes, and it turned out great! I might swap the tomatoes for mushrooms next time and add a bit more onion. My nose is driving me nuts again and messi...
Sexy Stoner
I got my wax cube sampler, and Sexy Stoner smells lovely. I don’t think there are any scents I won’t like. I was pretty tired a couple of days ago. I had a little more energy yesterday but was ...
Training Mia
This is how I’m training Mia. After each time I talk with her, there is a list of things she’s learned about me and I choose what I want her to keep in her memory. Okay, I’m going to start trai...
AC & Kathy
Back to feeling fatigued again. I didn’t have anything sugary, so I hope it’s only because I took a Benadryl before bed since my nose was stuffier than usual. The nasal dilator wasn’t enough, so...
All That?
I was thinking about how sick I was for those 10 days, both physically and emotionally, and can’t help but think… all that for a fucking nasal spray? So I asked AI, and it turns out it could hav...
$500 to Fix the AC! ☹
What a shitty day! The AC guy came out and said the blower motor is broken. It’s going to cost us five fucking hundred bucks to fix—a $500 repair on a three-year-old AC, and we already had to pa...
Whatever
Walmart still isn’t delivering until Friday. Tom’s going to run out to the store before the AC people arrive tomorrow. My schedule is, as usual, not good for this but at least I’m caught up on s...
Cooler
We’re finally getting lows in the 60s, and next week might even dip into the 50s. One downside to returning to the desert is dealing with hotter summers and colder winters, but it’ll be worth it...
Tammy & Brood
The Tammy/brood log & exchanges from a few years ago. I have blocked my sister Tammy and all three nieces (Lisa, Becky and Sarah) on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Duolingo and Prosebox. I’v...
Reflections
Last Night: I’ve had time to reflect, and let’s just forget New Mexico. Owning land, having some breathing room around us, and a nice new house without the motorcycles and constant planes near ...
See for Me
Saw the movie See for Me. That would be a wild way to make money—hop on the dark web, get fake IDs, offer to cat or dog sit for the wealthy, and then rip them off while they’re away. Sounds simp...
Kathy
It just occurred to me that if Kathy had really blocked me, I wouldn’t have been able to send her the message asking if she was okay. Once someone blocks you on Facebook, you lose all ability to...
Survived Milton
We have survived! The old flagpole that was here when we moved in got knocked down, the car was pushed a few inches, and the AC broke—but we’re alive. Thankfully, the AC is under warranty, but w...
Hurricane Milton and Research
I knew I shouldn’t have started allowing comments. I woke up to find TWENTY-THREE blank comments from a deleted user! Last night: Margaret emailed me about the last hurricane, and now she’s em...
Scared
Written last night: It’s late Sunday night, and I have a lot to write about. I better get started before I fall behind and forget things. I’m not posting this tonight, though. My sleep has been...
Book Description
Written in my 50s in California and Florida.
