I’m glad I decided to allow comments again. Not just because I feel cut off from friends I’ve made that I’ve known for a while and never had any problems with but because I decided that’s it, I’m...
10 Things About Me
Stealing this from Lost in the Lights. I love rats. I have a rare sleep disorder which means I stay up a little later each day. I prefer sweet over salty. I prefer coffee over tea. I’m ...
Comments now allowed
I’m allowing comments again after learning that someone I consider a friend here was trying to reach me and couldn’t. It comes with a catch, though. I have no problem with people expressing a dif...
My Swellcast
Quite some time ago, although it was while we were here in Florida, I downloaded an app called Swell where you leave audios discussing whatever you want to talk about. But then I got bored with i...
Back to Indiana
If you think whites are “privileged” you’re deluding yourself. It’s just that I keep hearing the term and I assure you we have to play by the same rules as everyone else. We’re no more or less sp...
Who is the lesser evil?
When I look at the comments on some of the IVF articles it amazes me how more and more people are anti-abortion and just how conservative this country is getting. When I asked myself who I would...
Ice Lair
Didn’t realize this until a little while ago but Christiane “laughed” at my concerns about the dream I had about Nane and then blocked me. Should have figured that sooner or later she would do th...
Good stuff
Feeling the best I’ve felt since I first got sick although I still have fatigue. It’s hard to say whether the fatigue is post-recovery or just the way I usually am. I still think my TSH has risen...
UTI...again
Woke up very tired today and tried to tell myself it was no big deal, I expected it, and yesterday’s energy was something I had just once in a while. But it is a big deal and it does bother me. I...
Go home!
I can’t swear to it but the fucking honker might have woken me up on the motorcycle. I checked Fitbit and it said I was awake for 14 minutes between 7:03 a.m. and 7:17 a.m. Tom says our camera do...
Setback
Just when I thought it was over, things got bad again. I didn’t get sick but I had the worst acid reflux I’ve ever had in my life last night. My throat didn’t just burn but it hurt like hell! I w...
Recovering
It’s over!!! Yay!!! No nausea. No acid reflux. I can even cough once again because my stomach muscles are no longer so sore. My voice is still a little hoarse but slowly returning. The only thing...
Still sick
Still sick. Slept shitty all through the night. Woke up a lot with mild nausea and acid reflux and then had the runs when I got up. Took the Pepto and the anti-nausea pills. I haven’t thrown up t...
Norovirus
You know that nausea I mentioned feeling when I wrote my last entry? Well, it turned out to be the start of a 16-hour-long hell ride through norovirus. It was absolutely horrible! I haven’t puked...
Speech rights
Woke up nauseous and I’m not sure why. My only guess is that I’m overdoing the magnesium again but that doesn’t usually make me nauseous. Instead, I usually get the runs. I thought I was going to...
Dilators and dreams
Got the nasal dilators and believe it or not, the smallest size fits my child’s size nose. Hopefully, this will help keep me breathing easier in my sleep and will be a cheaper alternative to buyi...
What if I'm right and they're all crazy?
My blood pressure is back up (especially the systolic in the 140s). As Tom reminded me, they do give you medicine for a reason, LOL. The stuff definitely works! But my nose is slightly clearer… I...
Well-rested
Because of the long nap I took yesterday, I only needed to sleep a little over 5 hours. This is the most refreshed I’ve woken up in days, too. My nose is still stuffy but I’m gonna give it unt...
Me and my sleep issues!
Right now I’m both pissed and stressed out. Woke up exhausted again and then ended up napping later on not for 1 hour, not for 2 hours, but for 3 fucking hours! So that’s going to screw up my sch...
Discontinuing Losartan
So Tom thinks you should be able to move to another country. This is when I asked him what he thought of the immigration situation which I do not support. He has a point but I think there should ...
LOL, ChatGPT's response to a journal entry
It sounds like you’re reflecting on various events and observations from your daily life. Here’s a breakdown of some key points: Sleep Troubles and Medication: You’re experiencing difficulty sl...
Colleen
Yesterday I was tired and managed to perk up a few hours later. So far, nothing’s helping me perk up today. I was up a long time and I’ve been sleeping shitty, as usual, waking up a lot. Maybe hy...
Money is evil
Wow, 3 entries in less than two hours, lol. Tom and I were talking and I totally believe that next to diseases and emotional issues, money is the second worst thing in the world to ever have been...
Crazy gets crazier
The craziness gets crazier, this time in Alabama. Because of a book a group of people wrote thousands of years ago, they’ve decided that embryos are “children.” That’s like comparing a seed to a ...
Society's warped sense of priorities
I always swore I would be myself and not hold back expressing myself even if I wasn’t in the norm, and believe me, I’m definitely in the silent minority when it comes to issues of racism. But I’m...
Book Description
Written in my 50s in California and Florida.
