Feeling Down and Fatigued in 2020s
I’ve been feeling a little down the last few days, but we think we know why. Yeah, I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed in general. There are a few reasons, and they’re kind of intertwined. My gluc...
105, Not Good in 2020s
My glucose was 105 when I got up. Still pre-diabetic. I was hoping by now it’d be 95 or lower. I was looking at the weather for the next week, and I’m just like, why? Just why? Every fucking ti...
Garden Nut Update in 2020s
It’s a good thing I didn’t have breathing issues in my sleep because I completely forgot to put in the nasal dilator last night. Today, I’m definitely feeling more energized, and I’m hoping to ...
As much as I cherished my husband, it became evident that we were not entirely compatible in the bedroom. This realization weighed heavily on me, along with the fear of infertility. The thought ...
By April 1993, after ten months at Vista Ventana, I had enough of the rude residents and management. It was time to move on. I did most of my moving late at night, always making sure to casually...
Aging Worries, Neighborhood Gossip, Amazon Shopping in 2020s
I need to clear my mind of the negative thoughts swirling around in it. Tom is napping—he’s always tired on donation days. Yesterday, I cried more than I had in months. I was suddenly overwhelm...
Another tired day, even though nothing woke me up. Tom reminded me about how sleep debt works, but I’m starting to worry that the burst of energy I had was just a fluke designed to tease me. I w...
Stacey was my biggest problem at the first complex I lived in during my time in Arizona, along with twenty-six-year-old Andrea (Andi), the woman living next to me in Andy’s building. Through And...
Sleep Spell in 2020s
Because I can’t allow comments from friends only as I’d prefer, I’m not going to allow comments on some of my entries/books. Besides, I don’t want unsolicited advice or spammers coming at me. Al...
A1C Predictions and Plans in 2020s
My nose didn’t wake me up last night, but after taking Zyrtec before bed, I woke up feeling groggy. I’ve been tired all day. Like I told Tom, I really hope it’s just the Zyrtec and that the ener...
My nine-year-old niece, Lisa, took my departure from New England hard. We had grown so close. I never saw Barbara again. She was never around the few times I went back to the apartment with Dad...
Ready to Smash My Nose Off My Face! in 2020s
Did some voice tweets since it’s been a while and I still have an iPhone. Unfortunately, the option is not available for Androids. There was talk about it a while ago, but of course, Elon Musk h...
Glaucoma Appointment in 2020s
I can barely see the screen as I write about my good, but surprising appointment with the glaucoma doctor. The dilation drops from my eye exam haven’t worn off yet, and everything is so bright. ...
The Norwich Housing Authority (NHA) projects were arranged around a square courtyard, with four strips of apartments on each side. The courtyard doubled as a parking lot and a playground for the...
One night in 1991, bored out of my mind, I stumbled upon a fascinating service where I could leave voicemails. I started having fun, leaving edited messages from one machine on others, sharing o...
I’m completely baffled by these strange feelings I’ve been having. For the second day in a row, I weighed 157 lbs, and it feels like 156 is just around the corner for the first time since 2018. ...
The Benefits of Dropping Sugar in 2020s
I’ve now been stormed awake eight times this summer. That might not sound like much, but it’s different when you’re tired as hell. Last night, I surprisingly had more energy than I expected, but...
Damn ENT Group in 2020s
sighs Looks like I don’t have to worry about any appointments until December. As I expected, I found a voicemail saying they “just learned” that the ENT I was supposed to see won’t be in the off...
I Hate People! in 2020s
Fucking storms—again! As soon as my schedule flips, the storms that had been tapering off come right back. I got shorted an hour or two of sleep and now I have to cancel my Monday appointment wi...
Collard Greens in 2020s
Wow, collard greens are huge! I’ve heard they’re not very popular because of their slightly bitter, earthy taste, but do I like them? Absolutely! They remind me a bit of turnips. I can totally s...
I took my second trip to Florida to stay with my parents in late 1989, having first visited them in early 1988. The visit was as I expected—full of my mother’s demands and bossiness. Their home ...
Nostalgic Moments in 2020s
Last night, I felt a little down, like I sometimes do when I’m on nights. I got stuck in a nostalgic loop, thinking about my past. It was as though I was caught between the past and present—miss...
Stephan (Steve) was my most memorable neighbor of all in a good way. A 34-year-old Black man, he worked as an engineer at a nearby Air Force base. I would have married him, to his delight, if I ...
Andy and I often went to gay bars, but I didn’t care much for the people. Like in most bar scenes, many were into drugs and heavy drinking. A lot of them also felt phony and immature. The women,...
Unnecessary Complications in 2020s
Why must things be so complicated? With all the technology we have in the world today, you’d think things would be easier. I tried to schedule with Rhonda online but, as usual, there were proble...
