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 looks passable, but the side is still clogged with leaves at the fence. The temperature is supposed to drop by over twenty-five degrees and heavy weather is expected late tonight and tomorrow. Maybe the leaves will blow away. 

I paid the Visa and answered an email from Brittney at Ameriprise. They wanted an update of my financials before my meeting with Dax in April. They wanted to know some topics of discussion and 'what is my income' might be a good place to start. And, he will say I'm keeping too much at Heartland, but it's more convenient for me. 

I managed to eat another apple (this time with a bit of peanut butter), but my appetite is still less than zero and I am very concerned. Is this just a residual effect of the flu or is something else going on? 

I entered four books that I've read in the blog; a couple of books about Edgar Cayce, 'SUICIDE BLONDE', 'MANHATTAN IS MY BEAT'.  

It's 415pm and I'm logging out of the PC and will read for a bit. Looking forward to a soak in the tub after 5pm. I managed to get down the apple/ peanut butter and I'm not nauseated, but I just feel like I do not want anything to eat. I cannot ever remember feeling like this.

I had to do a ten minute 'Windows Update'.    

540pm: In the tub with 'MURRAY LEINSTER and listening to BAD PLUS Playlist; CLAUS OGERMAN Playlist. 

Watched a couple of YouTube videos about whether to pause windows updates for a week. I'm still confused. 

Watched more of 'SOUTHLAND' (Netflix). A decent Police Procedural, but they're pretty common these days. 

Will try to eat something, but my appetite is still non-existent. Although the respiratory infection is definitely on the wane. No congestion and no wheezing, but what is causing the complete lack of appetite?

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...
