Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Our wings are not tired.

Happiest birthday wishes to P.M. Marc! I hope you have a delightful day and that the coming year is filled with joy and laughter.

eta: I had to look up the username because my eyes automatically translate to Plei. With some I see real name and my mind translates to board name, and with some the opposite direction.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Birthday Plei!! And belated Birthdays to Cash!

I had a great birthday. Got some awesome cooling shorts and shorts from Mom. I had to check something in the freezer yesterday at work and had to scurry out quickly because my clothes just absorbed all the cold.

Hec-- when I want to Vitamin D supplements it helped my mood and energy levels so much ! I went from just lying around, struggling to go to work, not feeling emotionally depressed but had all the other depression stuff. It didn't take too long after taking the supplement that I started feeling better. My Dr had me on once a week but I would forget to take it so he switched it to once a day and I just take it with my other meds. It's prescription and that works for me because my copay is so much cheaper than buying anything over the counter. I hope it helps Matilda..

It's been raining a lot here and the interstate between Western NC and Tennessee that washed out because of Helene is washing away. It looks like NCDOT may have rushed the reopening. But I know that there have been some small mud slides on 276 going up to Mom's. It's a loss of trees and also just the ground not being as stable.

I have my endoscopy on Tuesday. I'm glad it is happening finally.

And then I've been having cold feet, pins and needles in my feet and hands some and my feet hurting all the time plus not mystery bruises but bruising badly when I run into things so now I have to get tests for my circulation. I'm getting an ultrasound the week after next.

I feel like since Jan my body is just falling apart but I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm back down in the 220 lb range but unlike last time I got down to this weight I have more muscles. But only what I use at work. I need to start working the muscle groups that I don't use every day to balance things out.

Productive testing ~ma, askye. I am also on super duper Vit D dosing because now, on my own, I am severely underD-d. A lot of people are, in fact (well, maybe not severely, but it's a thing.)

Just got my ICD checked, and it's at 36% battery life, so another year before they check again. I was hoping to get the full ten years as optimistically offered, but what can you do. It's been five years.

Going to be a hot one here today. Short doggo walks and chilling inside.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Plei Day!
