Scared
Written last night: It’s late Sunday night, and I have a lot to write about. I better get started before I fall behind and forget things. I’m not posting this tonight, though. My sleep has been...
Ugh
Written yesterday: I have so much to say and so much on my mind, but I don’t know where to start. I’ll start by saying that I took Zyrtec last night, remembering how it helped me sleep longer, ...
It Was Real, I Just Know It
Me: This is going to be a bit hard to explain and definitely could be hard for you to understand but I want you to make your best guess as to whether or not I’m psychic or was just crazy. Okay...
Overwhelmed
Looking back on all my years dealing with doctors, so many of them have been utterly worthless in helping me. Rhonda is a classic reminder of this. I sent her a message last night asking if she ...
Recovering
Lying in bed, I’m starting this entry on my phone. I may or may not get it posted today, but I’ll work on talk-typing it little by little. I have a lot of writing to catch up on! No more methy...
Sick
Just an initial update that I started yesterday but was too out of it to share. There’s more to come but I may not get to it today. It’s been a scary and frustrating last couple of days. I was...
Goodbye Florida?
I’m going to work on this entry little by little because I’m just not feeling well. I still don’t know if I have COVID, a cold, or if my allergies and asthma have simply gone haywire. I still fe...
More Than No Big Deal
Thought I’d get some writing started as I lay in bed feeling shitty. I’m not just tired, but I feel like I either have severe allergies, a minor cold, or something worse. I hope it’s not COVID! ...
156
Hurricane Helene has turned out to be no big deal even though they sent us evacuation notices. Doesn’t look like anyone else has evacuated either. We’ve got winds of about 45 miles an hour but h...
Wind and Rain
Hurricane Helene is going to miss us, but it’s going to dump a lot of wind and rain on us. We could get up to around 50 miles per hour winds. The shitty part is that while hurricanes rarely prod...
Hurricane Helene
Just a heads-up: Hurricane Helene is heading our way, so don’t panic if I’m quiet for a day or two. We’re on the edge of the cone, and while evacuations are possible, we’re staying put. Power ou...
Another Power Failure
A transformer blew somewhere in the neighborhood, so I guess I might as well take my iPhone and start tomorrow’s journal entry. I heard a slight bang right before the power cut out roughly an ho...
Feeling Down and Fatigued
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
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
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 ...
Aging Worries, Neighborhood Gossip, Amazon Shopping
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...
Tired
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...
Sleep Spell
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
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...
Ready to Smash My Nose Off My Face!
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
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. ...
Baffled
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
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
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!
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...

Written in my 50s in California and Florida.
