New desk, no side effects

sighs with frustration The news is still racism, Roe, and Trump. Starting to think we’ll never stop seeing that face even long after it’s dead. It’s truly mind-boggling how a country can start a ...

Nurse Rhonda

Going to make this entry about my appointment and write about other stuff in another entry. I may not feel good for a couple of days and therefore not up to writing much because of the shingles v...

Illinois

Made it to Illinois yesterday. I’ve got about 145 miles to reach the Indiana border. Might not do much riding today because I’m tired, as usual, but today I’m more tired than the last couple of d...

Cyst?

Really hope the pain I’ve been having in my very lower left stomach isn’t anything to worry about. I’ve had this on and off in the past. When my gallbladder started going bad, it was an on-and-of...

Not kidding

Having a pretty good day today. I went out walking around the park and have decent energy today as well. I just wish it could be like this every day. Tom’s at the plasma place now. I wasn’t kiddi...

Septum

I figured out exactly what’s causing my snoring and sleep apnea and it has nothing to do with my weight or mouth structure. Research confirmed my suspicions too. It’s the collapsed septum that th...

Eye surgery

Bye-bye abortion in Florida. At least that’s what it’s looking like now. Some assholes want to get the Florida Supreme Court to keep it off the ballot and if they succeed in getting their request...

Strange light

I took hydroxyzine before bed and slept long and well. I needed that! I did wake up a few times, once to pee, but was able to fall back asleep quickly when I got back into bed. There was even a p...

Frustrated as hell

I’m truly frustrated as fuck. I’m so tired of the way I have suffered nearly every single fucking day for a decade from some kind of shit or another. If I’m not anxious, I’m tired or there’s some...

Coyotes

When I read a post by someone in the park warning about out-of-control coyotes being in heat, I thought to myself that I’ve never heard any coyotes in the 2.5 years we’ve been here. I’d only hear...

Bursitis

I thought about some things last night. Sometimes we should do what’s smart and not what we want and keep in mind that silence is usually golden. It’s a challenge at times, though, and that’s all...

Nane, are you alright?

I had a bad dream that I ran into Christiane somewhere and she looked very sad and worried. I asked her what was wrong and she said, “She wants to die.” I said, “Who, Nane?” and she nodded. So I ...

Hello, Missouri!

After riding my virtual bike for 32 miles on and off throughout the night, I finally hit the border. I won’t be in Missouri or Illinois for very long, but I’ll be in Indiana for quite a while.

Kim

Still haven’t heard from Kim and there’s no doubt that she dumped me. I wouldn’t be surprised if someday she was allowed online if only for a while and she contacted me as if nothing happened. Th...

Trudging through another day

I hide treats in the closet the rat and I play in to keep things interesting for her. Last time I had an almond on top of a suitcase and one of her yogurt candy treats on the floor by her waterfa...

Double homicide

Can’t stop thinking about what I learned about Annette. How she managed to live all these years after her daughter and granddaughter were murdered in cold blood is absolutely and totally beyond m...

Newsletter

Had an interesting day today. First, when I woke up I was tired and thought I might not make it to bicycle bingo. But then I took a nap for about an hour and felt refreshed. When I got up, I foun...

The pest really was a pest

I sent a message to the honker saying I saw him in Arkansas, explaining that I saw a truck identical to his when I was riding my virtual bike there. He read it but ignored it completely. This guy...

Thunder

We had some thunder last night, but no rain. The rain didn’t happen until after I crashed. I was worried thunder would wake me up, but it didn’t. I’m still a bit tired today because I didn’t slee...

Fool Me Once

The CPAP nose insert is too big for my tiny little button nose and even if I could fit it in, I don’t see how I could get it to stay in my nose as some people complained. It will be returned soon...

Smart people

Tom’s giving plasma now. Hopefully anyway. They won’t take him if they see leftover bruising from the last draw, and he’s been having trouble getting his arms to clear completely. He’s been gone ...

Why?

Self-destruction. We’re all self-destructive in one way or another. Some people smoke. Some people drink. Some people do drugs. Some people gamble. Some people are into self-harm. They say that r...

A nice day

Today was such a nice day. I had good energy and got a lot done. Walmart delivered us some stuff and we also went to Walgreens. Walmart didn’t have the sweet red wine I wanted, so I got some Merl...

Doc A

I message Doc A every three to four months and let her know what’s been going on. I’ll have to ask her how she liked the chicken the next time I talk to her. LOL, yeah, I had a dream she asked me...
