Last Week Was One of Those Weeks,
...And I'm not going to talk about the Election, either.
I am trying to get used to my new phone and the new Shiney-Which-Is-Still-Nameless and set both of them up with bookmarks and passwords and such. Even though the Husband was able to salvage Kaname.
Loki was a sweetie. But now I have to worry about new tires for Riza.

Hi - Been a While since I Posted Directly
Yes, I'm still alive. Just been very busy for the past two years.... My Older Sister, who was diagnosed with Stage Four Lung cancer is also still alive but had to move to a care facility in May of this year: my Mom, Younger Sister and I spent the entire month of June clearing out her apartment. Not a job for the faint-hearted ( Read more... ) -
Half a Month Late...
So it's past time for resolutions. Pretty much the same as last year:
1. Actively pursue good health. Thursday I had my Annual Physical, and while the labs weren't back yet so I don't have an A1c reading, Dr. seemed pleased with my almost normal Blood Pressure and slight weight loss, as well as my respiration. Got a flu shot. Told her I'd added ( Read more... ) -

Good to 'hear' from you! Happy New Year! Coincidentally, I've been re-reading your NCIS fics over on AO3 this past week . Hoping that 2022 treats all of us better.

Not a Good Week
Last week and a half was crammed with bad news: Thanksgiving went all right, had a nice visit/meal with Husband's Aunt. I'd planned to go visit Mom on Saturday, but Riza started acting up about 20 minutes into the trip. It started with the Cruise Control suddenly conking out; I tried a couple times to reset it, but it didn't take. A little later ( Read more... ) -
More Medication Hassles
Okay, little bit of back story first: back in March when Husband dropped his workplace insurance in favor of Medicare and I had to got through the state's insurance market for health coverage, my main concern was finding a company and policy that would fit my limited budget yet still do a decent job covering my various medications. I thought I'd ( Read more... ) -
Starting to Think Husband's Job is Dangerous to His Health
Back in mid-July Husband tripped over a loading pallet at work, wrenching his left ankle. There were some pretty spectacular bruises on the ankle, as well as assorted other scrapes and such, but he was still able to walk around with it (limp, rather) and other than some discomfort when putting on and wearing his work boots, we figured it would be ( Read more... ) -
Fun with the Home Computer
For quite a while (like maybe the past year!) I'd had this problem with the computer here at home: every so often, with increasing frequency, it would abruptly shut off while I was using it. It wasn't an internet problem, as the modem lights were all still bright and blinky. My original thought was that the tower unit was overheating, so Husband ( Read more... ) -
Furnace Finale, and why I Stopped Trying to Plant a Garden
July 2nd -- Brandon and his cohorts from J.L.Brady showed up at roughly 7:30 a.m. I took Jethro for a loonng walk around the neighborhood to give them the chance to get the furnace/boiler unit up the ramp and into the basement without getting barked at. We returned to the house approximately 45 minutes later to discover a) the truck with the ( Read more... ) -
Bah!
Found out last night that while the new Health Plan supposedly will cover all my meds, it turns out that the one I was most concerned about not only has to be approved/authorized before the mail-order pharmacy will fill it, but it will cost ME approximately $1,700+ for a three-month supply!!!! With Husband's former workplace plan I had to pay only ( Read more... )
