Discovered a fun new way to add titles to some of my untitled journal entries on LJ. In Chrome, I right-click “Search with Google Lens,” then where it says to ask about this page, I tell it to g...

We got the door strap and the resistance bands with handles! The door strap has five different levels. We’ve got it attached to the hall door. Walmart wouldn’t send another one, so he got a refu...

My Café Sweets Trilogy candle is the best candle ever! I love how the wooden wick causes it to crackle softly like a mini fireplace. It also leaves no smoke trail behind after I blow it out, and...

---

You don’t need another candle, you don’t need another candle, you don’t need another candle, she tells herself but orders a Cafe Sweets triple-scented candle anyway. I swear this will be it for ...

The candle snuffer works great. I thought I would have to lower it down into the wax a bit, getting the bottom waxy, but nope. The patchouli amber candle was a bust because I just couldn’t smell...

---

Another exhausting day and another curse on my sleep. No, not the honker—just a throat tickle and coughing. Ironically, I forgot to smudge the bedroom before going to bed, too. Woke up coughing ...

---

Guess who’s back? Yeah, I knew it would be. It was waiting for me when I got up. I checked the camera and found it came in at around 9:30. It’s still parked on the side and hitched to its traile...

Since it’s open enrollment, Tom took a peek at next year’s plans, and it looks like I’m going to stick with Ambetter. I’ll actually have a better plan—it will just cost more. I’m going from silv...

I was going to have AI summarize my journals every week and then throw them on PB, but it wasn’t doing what I wanted. So I’ll just do regular updates there again. I ditched Tumblr, though. I gue...

I’ve missed writing here regularly, but there’s going to be a catch this time around — I won’t be allowing comments for now. This way, I don’t have to hear from any spammers or have anyone try t...

10/1/25 Yesterday was the first time I felt pretty sure I did come down with something—that feeling in my head and throat. However, we’re both feeling better today, so that’s a relief. My AHI s...

---

9/25/25 Here I go, wishing for things I can’t have once again. I don’t mean unreasonable things, like a perfectly soundproof luxury high-rise apartment with a killer view, loads of money, and p...

---

I’m a little tired from fragmented sleep, though I managed to dodge being woken up by the mowers because I happened to get up to pee when they came by. I still didn’t sleep well because it seems...

---

After 14 months of riding, I finished my ride from Finland to Greece! Just in time for the next challenge, which is all over South America… Rio, Argentina, Bogota, Chile, and Bolivia. I slept m...

---

Been so busy setting up the new phone that I haven’t had time to do much else. It’s definitely a lot faster, although it’s also heavier. It was a bit of a pain in the ass to set up and took some...

---

I was thrilled to see the video a good friend of mine made opening a package I sent them. I’m so glad they like their gift! It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen anyone open a package I sent ...

---

I’m totally wiped out, but I finally have a few moments to myself to write. Sometimes not having much alone time really gets to me, especially in such a small house. I hear his every move and ev...

---

Written last night: I slept OK the night before last, but shitty last night and am tired as hell. My nose is still pretty stuffy. Just wondering how long it’s going to be before it gets back to...

---

The rat’s tumor bled a little bit yesterday. It was just a few drops, and she didn’t seem to be in pain, so that much is good. Rats are always grooming themselves, so she likely got a little too...

---

I should have written yesterday because today I am totally exhausted. It’s happening again, and I’m back to suffocating awake like I did the day before yesterday. The AHI score was up to 7, and ...

---

Seriously? Rhonda’s staff had to waste 70 cents to send me a letter asking me to call and schedule after telling them THREE times I’d do it later online? Talk about a bunch of fucking incompeten...

---

Definitely got chronic fatigue. Oh well. This is what I’m used to, and it’s not like we have money to do all kinds of things anyway. So as long as I have some energy on appointment days, I’ll ju...

---

Just thought I’d check in and let people know I’m still alive. I’ve just been busy with some writing projects. Other than that, my life has been pretty uneventful. The weather is still hot and ...

---

Nothing exciting is going on. The bot is vacuuming, and I’m wondering why I never got a reply from Julie. She saw my message. What’s weird is that it’s like she doesn’t want to give me much info...

---

Every once in a while, I check in on X to look for a company or business to contact, and while I was at it, I read one of Mary’s posts that I actually agree with wholeheartedly. She said somethi...
