Wall Tile Mishap
Ugh, I’m so frustrated! You’d think sticking 12”x12” sticky tiles to a wall wouldn’t be so difficult, but it is. Because they’re so sticky, it was hard to align them properly. Also, they’re thin,...
Disturbing Video
I considered going with Tom to his appointment later today, just to get out of the house, but I can still sit in the back and soak up some sunlight. It’s nice to have the house to myself every no...
Aging, Nostalgia, and a Troubling Dream
When I was in my late 30s to early 40s and would sometimes get hyped up and act like I was still physically and emotionally quite young, I would sometimes chide myself for it and tell myself to “...
Kyle
I got a great photo of a rabbit in the backyard yesterday morning, as well as tons of snails on the fence to show Doc A. I also shared a picture of the tortoise with her. She and someone else wer...
Hopeless
Feeling hopeless when it comes to my fatigue and sleep issues and trying not to let them get me down. Not doing a very good job, though. My homemade cheese crackers came out awesome! I’m making a...
Guardian Angel?
When I’m alone in the dead of night, wishing I could always be on days, my mind starts to wander, speculate, and analyze. I’ve often been quick to say we live in a Godless world because of all th...
Tom's Lab Results
Yay! Tom’s lab results are great! His TSH is 3.25 (lucky guy), and his cholesterol is low, though it has always been low. His glucose is 84, and he said he can’t remember it ever being that low. ...
Temu & Dreams
Finally, a day with decent energy! Why, oh why, can’t it be like this most of the time instead of some of the time? I was thinking earlier, and despite the fact that I hold firm in my decision t...
Horrible Fatigue
On a scale of 1 to 10, my fatigue is a definite 10 today. While I was in a good mood yesterday, today I feel frustrated and hopeless. I really fear I’m never going to resolve this problem and fin...
Bugs Bunny
“You were a really good artist,” Tom said to me when I got up. He was going through old stuff and found an old drive. He wanted to see if it would boot up, and it did. On it was all the wall art ...
Storm, Beef, FB
Got a thunderstorm earlier and I guess it’s supposed to storm again tomorrow morning so it can wake me up. They’re not kidding when they say that red meat can steal your energy. I made myself a b...
Tropical Storm Watch
A tropical storm warning is in effect. Hopefully, we’ll get just rain and not too much wind, and definitely not lose power. The manager emailed everyone to make sure we’re stocked up on gas, cash...
Benched!
Got our new bench. It’s comfortable and the perfect height for short people. He just has to powder the area for ants. It’s quite hot and humid, but nice. Today’s storm is all thunder and no rain,...
Cicada-Killer Wasps
I’m glad Andy doesn’t read my journal because he’s always been a bit fragile and I know this would hurt his feelings, but I am definitely not going to be looking in on his wall anymore. Same old ...
Snake
Looks like we might have a snake burrowing in front of our place. I had no idea snakes could dig like that, but he found a pile of dirt at the side of the driveway, and based on the groove in the...
Russia
I’m 7% through my ride and just entered Russia from Finland. It’s going to be a while before I reach Latvia. I had okay energy yesterday, but today I’m not as energetic. I don’t feel horribly tir...
A Possible Culprit
I’m so glad my husband is a genius! I always knew there were likely multiple culprits stealing my energy, but he may have a point when he mentions not only sugar but additives in food being part ...
Wallace and Gromit
The Wallace and Gromit golf course was released. I guess it’s based on a British animated comedy. It’s not bad, and I already found 7 hidden golf balls. Again with the fatigue, even though I thou...
Mug, Mixer, Lipstick, Incense and Phone Holder
Beauty may be a subjective thing, but what did Andy ever see in Stevie Nicks? She’s so ordinary-looking. The bulk of his posts are Stevie and God-related, as usual. Well, some nice paintings are ...
Molly, Kathy, Kamala
So it isn’t just me. Kathy also looked up Molly, not to contact her, but out of curiosity, and hasn’t found any trace of her in years. More than likely, her online activity is now heavily restric...
Kathy
Good stuff going on. :-) First, I’m definitely not as cold as I have been since I started taking the vitamins daily. However, I don’t want to push it, so I’m going to try taking them for two days...
The Doctor, Teddy Bear, and the FBI
The ophthalmologist I started seeing has popped into my mind every single day for the last three or four days, and I had no idea why. He never made any kind of impression on me. He was a little s...
Wine Brain
After being tired for a couple of days, I finally have a little more energy. Maybe I’ll dabble in some painting tonight. Latch-hooking kind of grew on me in the end, so I ordered a 2x5-foot roll ...
Cold & Tired
I totally gotta disable comments here because I’m getting spammed and I’ve had enough. I’m having a very cold and tired day. The weird thing is that I start off the first few hours of my day feel...
Another Psychic Moment
Another psychic moment. “$30,” I told Tom last night, and he looked at me quizzically. I said I didn’t know what it meant but it just popped into my mind. The next day, it turns out he got an AI ...
