What If?
Tom was nice enough to hook up a microphone, enabling speech-to-text to hear me better. I have the laptop under the little stand the monitor is on, and it’s partially open. I don’t really have an...
Poe
Tonight is definitely a Benadryl night. Technically, I’ll be going to bed late in the morning but for the last couple of nights, I didn’t take it and I’ve been waking up a lot, which has caught u...
Hello, Vermont!
My poor little ratty hurt one of her back legs somehow. This is common with rats, just like people sometimes twist their ankles. She seems to be doing a little better, and we’re keeping an eye on...
Foam Window Tiles
I’ve decided that from now on, if something is private, it doesn’t go in online journals, even if the posts are set to private. I may or may not schedule future private content to post after I’m ...
Garmin
I don’t think we’ll ever have that much extra money, but instead of getting a Fitbit someday, I want to get a Garmin watch. I like the idea of it telling me how much sleep I need the next night—o...
"Nervous"
The other day I was remembering “Nervous.” He would now be 84 years old if he were still alive. He was so sure he would make it to his 80s, yet he died of a heart attack at 54. I’m now older than...
Cherry Blossom
How wonderful it is to feel human again! Yesterday was a rough day, being so sore and having the chills and a low-grade fever. My arm is still sore, and there’s a little redness around the inject...
Holly & Shannan
Oh, wow. I swear Holly and Shannan from the office of my first Cali dentist blocked me a while back because they didn’t seem to like me contacting them on Facebook. At least I thought they did be...
30th Anniversary!
It’s hard to believe I’ve been married for more than half of my life! For the longest time, I didn’t think I would be able to be in a relationship for a whole year, let alone three decades. You c...
Vax Kicking My Ass
Yesterday evening, we had a nice little storm. I was glad it started before I crashed. I was in such a relaxed and wonderful mood, loving every second of it. After suffering so much for so long, ...
Rhonda, Dentist, Chinese Food
I woke up with good energy and can tell my thyroid is better. Taking the multivitamins really helps. I have more energy, and my weight is going back down, though I only gained a pound or two. The...
Crown Re-cemented
Decided not to wait until we hit the road tomorrow to update. I can write story-related stuff on the way down to the appointment and then I will have whatever we discussed to write about on the w...
Crown Fell Out
I was going to save my writing for Thursday, but I think I have enough going on now, and I’m in the mood to write. I don’t want to get too backed up with things. The partial crown that fell off i...
Ruby Tuesday
My DW journal is now in sync with my LJ journal! I have been freezing my ass off again, which makes me think I’m still having absorption issues and likely always will, on and off. I mentioned it ...
Still Blurry
New York is still blurry. As I said before, this last eye doctor was horrible and I think he gave me a bad prescription. I don’t know if he just didn’t know what he was doing or if the prescripti...
Pinterest, Plans and Chinese
I was reading about how easy it is to meet people online these days compared to when I was young. I’ve often wished it had been this easy to meet other women back then, but at the same time, I’m ...
Calorie Calculation
Slept better and feel better, even though I woke up a few times, including to pee. No nightmares or outside sources woke me up, though. I’m going to use this opportunity to catch up on cleaning a...
Forever Sleep Cursed
I’ve said it a million times before, and I’ll no doubt say it a million times in the future: something is absolutely hell-bent on disrupting my sleep. I swear that not only does something up ther...
Fewer tummy issues
I wonder (and worry) how much higher my TSH is going to climb. It’s 77 degrees in here and I’m cold as fuck. I fear it’s going to be a yo-yo thing with me for the rest of my life because of the c...
Anonymity and transparency
I hate being in the mood to write but not having much to write about, so I’ll have to think of whatever little things I can. I do have an appointment on the 13th, so I might not blog for a day or...
Twisted people
Just as unsurprising as my lab results, fucking Trump can still be president despite being found guilty on multiple counts of multiple charges. In other words, you can be a criminal and still run...
Lab results
I got my lab results, and not surprisingly, many of the numbers aren’t good. I suspected my TSH was elevated, and it turns out I was right. Fortunately, it’s just barely into the double digits at...
Lab
Just got done at the lab and now I’m waiting in the car while Tom gets us stuff from Burger King. I told him to just get me fries and a shake since I make burgers better than they do. I could kic...
Good smells, toxic people
New York is blurry! I can’t wait for my lenses to arrive. I’m now skirting above the Finger Lakes, just under Newark and Lyons. I have about 530 more miles to go. Haven’t had a drop of rain in da...
Drafts
Well, this really sucks. I started saving entries in drafts on Blogger, but it didn’t save what I drafted. So, back to Google Docs it is. I did some writing last night and I’m trying to remember ...
Book Description
Written in my 50s in California and Florida.
