Tu 3/10/26- Sick!

Tu 3/10/26- Sick! Very warm and breezy with temps in the lower 80's and it felt much warmer.  It's 230pm and I've just opened the computer. I am feeling completely wiped out and I don't think I've ever experienced anything like this. I haven't eaten anything besides a couple of apples a day for a few days.  I didn't get much sleep last night and depressing thoughts kept me up most of the night. No coughing and not much wheezing, but I felt exhausted and did not sleep much. I'm wondering if something else is wrong in addition to the lower respiratory infection. 'Thoughts of Doom', indeed. I got out of bed at 820am and I was tossing and turning from about 4am. I had a couple of cups of instant coffee and an apple. I started on the gumballs on the front lawn at 9am and I had to come inside and rest a couple of times. About 1230pm I drove to County Market for more lawn bags, soda, and a head of cabbage. I came back and finished the raking. The front ...

Mo 3/9/26- Urgent Care Koke Mill

 Mo 3/9/26- Urgent Care Koke Mill  Up 745am: Bright & breezy with temps to upper 70's! At first I felt like I'd turned the corner on the flu, but within a couple of hours I realized that 'the recovery' had stalled out.  The fact that I have zero appetite is reason for concern. Around 1130am I decided that I'd write a brief note to Janny and then head over to Urgent Care on Koke Mill. Hopefully stronger meds will knock it out. High anxiety.  Watched  'THE LIFE AHEAD' (Netflix). A young boy from Senegal is taken in by an elderly woman who survived Auschwitz. It's a sweet story of the healing power of love; with Sophia Loren. Beautifully shot in Bari, Italy in the Puglia Region of southeastern Italy. Watched the first two episodes of 'CRIME EXPOSE with Nancy O'Dell' (Amazon Prime).  I wrote a brief Chat and got ready to visit Urgent Care. 1230pm- 215pm:  Koke Mill... They had me breath into a machine for 10 minutes. Then 2 chest x rays; fron...

Su 3/8/26- Sick/ Time Change

 Su 3/8/26- Sick/ Time Change Up 8am: Sunny & breezy with temps to low 60's. The flu symptoms have abated (not so sure), but constipated. No Weekly Cleaning ***I tried a bong hit, but no luck. It just brought on a coughing fit. Watched 'THE TIKTOK KILLER' (Netflix). An ugly bum with half his teeth posts popular 'travel' videos as he treks the coast of Spain. Most of the documentary is composed of video that he made on his journey. He was convicted of several murders and served his time, but it looks like he's killed a couple more. He is in contact with the mother of one of his probable victims. This guy seems like one of a kind.  Finished 'UNFAMILIAR' (Netflix). I didn't follow the plot, but it was so well done that I gave it '2 Thumbs Up' anyway. There were so many twists that it made a John le Carre novel seem like a 1st grade primer.  I thought that I was feeling better, but I'm not so sure. I don't know what I'm going to d...

Sa 3/7/26- No Weed

 Sa 3/7/26- No Weed 845am {1/2 'Extreme Chill' 'Wedding Cake' 150 mg: 75 mg total}.  Up 730am {I feel better, but there is severe congestion in the lungs}. Cloudy & breezy and temps to about 60.  Watched 'The Zone of Interest' (Kanopy). From IMDB: "The commandant of Auschwitz and his wife strive to build a dream life for their family in a house next to the camp." From VARIETY: "It’s a remarkable film — chilling and profound, meditative and immersive, a movie that holds human darkness up to the light and examines it as if under a microscope. In a sense, it’s a movie that plays off our voyeurism, our curiosity to see the unseeable. Yet it does so with a bracing originality." "92" Metascore with seven ratings of "100". I agree. You never see the actual horror, yet you always know it's 'on the other side of the fence'.  An episode of  'HOMICIDE' (Netflix). Carnegie Deli Murders- Two guys rob a high end ...

I feel significantly better, but still very congested}. Today it will be partly sunny & very windy with temps in the upper 70's.  ***815am: Already soaring, but the flower is so much better.  Watched 'THE COMMUNE' (Netflix). A Danish couple inherit a large ramshackle house and create a communal living space for their friends and family. The original couple split up when hubby's new lady moves in and sparks fly. Woodstock it ain't. "60" Metascore and I would go to "74".  Watched 'SMALL ENGINE REPAIR' (Netflix). It's a Blue Collar tale of 'social revenge'. A man's fourteen year old daughter sent a nude picture to an entitled frat boy and he released it into cyberspace. She takes an overdose of pills and her father convinces ...

It's about a group of young Danish people who were friends for over fifteen years. They're shocked to learn that one of the guys in the group was a rapist, kidnapper, and murderer. It's kind of a Danish 'DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE'.   Watched 'INSIDE THE EDGE: A PROFESSIONAL BLACKJACK ADVENTURE' {1'12"} (Amazon Prime). A professional gambler from Las Vegas spends a year in an RV traveling across the US and 'card counting' at blackjack in every casino he sees. Thes...

We 3/4/26- Sick

 We 3/4/26- Sick 835am {1/2 VIIA 'Day Drift' 100 mg; Indica: 50 mg total}. 945am (GB: several moderate rips/ Frozen Lemonade). 205pm (GB: several coughing rips/ Hybrid Popcorn). 340pm (4 smoother hits- B: Frozen Lemonade). 550pm (GB: 5 not smooth/ Hybrid Popcorn). 825am (GB: 6 cautious rips/ Hybrid Popcorn).  Up 730am- 830am: The Sickness is beginning to wane but I'm still quite ill.

There is some dramatic acting but I couldn't follow the plot. Life in a black housing development in the French suburbs. Very much kitchen-sink realism and gritty to a fault. It's a franchise and I put the sequel to the first one in the queue.  Filmed in Bois-L'Abbe in Val-de-Marne which is a department of France to the southeast of Paris. Finished 'EXPOSED: THE CASE OF KELI LANE' (Amazon...
