Happy 67th to Tom! in 2020s

For Tom’s 67th birthday, we got him some free ice cream at Publix. We both loaded up on things we definitely shouldn’t have gotten but are enjoying for the sake of variety. We got everything from ice cream to Cheetos to cooked food, and I picked up some raw peanuts to bake, a fruity salad, and a piña colada.

Yesterday, I was really worried about my thyroid because I felt so cold. I have other symptoms too, like hair loss, dry skin, a resting heart rate that’s actually below normal, and less insomnia. I’m even sleeping a little longer as well. However, I didn’t sleep too well last night and kept waking up. Overall, I’ve had more energy for about a month now, likely due to a combination of adding vitamins, getting the waterbed, and being less stressed with the honker and his antics gone from across the street. I love this time of year. The park is quieter, and there’s a lot less traffic on the road. I don’t even hear Happy as much, partly because no one has their windows open due to the humidity.

Today, I haven’t been as cold. It seems to come and go, and I’m not sure what to think. It makes sense that I’m still hypo, though. I don’t think I’m gonna get back down into the single digits on this dose. Tom thinks it just takes time now that I’ve started taking the vitamins daily. The only thing that doesn’t make sense about being hypo is why I’m still waking up under 160 lbs, although that’s not a bad thing.

I now have 99 miles to go! We’re going to play some miniature golf, and then I’m going to hit the road.

This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind for the characters, whose appearances kept changing in the story, but these AI-generated stories based on our prompts that are illustrated are kind of cool. It actually gave me an idea for a story if I can ever finish the one I’m working on now. I also like the title of this story as a possibility for the one I’m working on. https://midreal.ai/s/e0AY
