Tom saw the optometrist, and he was told what he already knew—his cataract is much worse, and it’s time to get it dealt with. Now he’s waiting for a callback from the same damn ophthalmologist h...

---

As I’ve always said, if there were a god, it would have to be pretty damn misogynistic to allow women to go through all we go through. But for one such womanly problem called menopause, I am now...

---

Written yesterday afternoon: Back from the dentist and in tons of pain. It was both horrible and quick. The pain should be worth it in the end, though, because that’s one less crown I have to wo...

---

I wish we weren’t so damn broke now. Or better yet, let me rephrase that: I wish our money wasn’t tied up in other things right now, like my health. Tomorrow, I get the tooth pulled. He’s doing ...

---

I was hoping for more moving dreams, but I can’t control what I dream about regardless of what’s going on in my life. What’s going on today is that I’m back to feeling tired after having decent ...

---

My house is starting to feel like a prostitute—too loose from too much use. At 35 years old, the door hinges are loose, the outlets are loose, and plenty of other things are too. Part of me is ...

---

My favorite rodent and I just shared a meal together. Yesterday, I was tired as fuck because an unusually loud truck woke me up, and it was hard to get back to sleep. Today, I’m still tired as f...

Making like-minded online connections has always been enjoyable for me. I love the idea of an online bestie—someone I grow close to and who grows close to me, sharing much of our lives with the ...

---

It’s been a windy day, and we even had a little rain. It was frustrating because the temperature and breeze would have been perfect for opening the windows for some fresh air. But I knew that wo...

---

Goodbye, Spectrum—hello, Frontier. We switched providers because Frontier offered a better deal without sacrificing speed. After a couple of good days, it’s right back to fatigue, fatigue, fati...

---

Yesterday was a very stressful day for me—not so much because I was tired, but because I was worried about my health, the costs, and everything that comes with it. It was pretty windy, and that ...

---

My pulmonologist appointment went as expected—not great, but I still hold on to a shred of hope I can eventually get some of my energy back. The company that supplies my CPAP determines whether ...

---

Beginning to fear more and more that the days of going to bed without worrying whether I’d have enough energy to get through the next day are definitely a thing of the past. Today, I feel worse ...

---

My lungs were better yesterday, though I still had some tightness and still do. I’m going to be really pissed if the pulmonologist canceled my appointment on Monday just because I stupidly didn...

---

Yesterday was a horribly rough day. I was not only groggy and hungover from the melatonin, but my lungs were also so tight. Because Tom was a little tight too, we were wondering if the oak tree ...

---

Where I felt great yesterday, today I feel like shit. When am I going to learn that my body can’t handle melatonin? Not even children’s doses. It just leaves me feeling groggy and hungover the n...

---

Tom said it poured while I slept, but there was no thunder. I was relieved to see those little lightning bolts disappear from the hourly weather app before bed. I’m getting a little tired of th...

After asking Chat how long it’d take to read all my journal entries on Blogger… ChatGPT said: I’ll need to get an estimate of the total word count. Since I can’t access your blog directly, you...

---

The Honker’s company is gone (I think). I saw Colleen take a carload of people yesterday evening, and at the same time, he took a carload of people. However, he got in the car and took off with ...

---

I had a really weird experience. First, I had one of those classic dreams where I was wanted by the police, but I didn’t know why. I asked Tom if, given the evidence, he thought they would come ...

---

Finally heard back from Rhonda. The lab orders to be completed the week before my June appointment are on the way to me. I have to see her in person because I’m due for a complete physical, so I...

---

“Reactive abuse happens when someone pushes you until you act out of character. Then they shame you for your reaction. If you hold a match to a candle sooner or later it will burn.” Something t...

---

The ENT checked my ears, eyes, and throat, and everything looked good. He even felt my jaw and neck. He said allergy testing takes 45 minutes and gave me a list of medications to avoid a week in...

---

The more I think about it, the more I just don’t see how we could ever get out of here, even if we got top dollar for this place. That’s because “top dollar” in the condition it’s in would only ...
