And I wonder why I'm so tired.

And I keep forgetting this exists. Yet? Here I am. Hope all is well.

First day of vacation.

Took me three minutes to do my journal pages. Heart rate down; blood pressure down. Slept solidly. Read 25 pages before bed.

Gee what's different?

No work. Ugh. I need to retire. Or at least something different.

My mother is at the hospital, almost one year after the passing of my father. My husOtter is having horrible reactions to his meds; Dot refuses to eat. I'm taking a personal day this week, so 7 meetings decided they HAVE to be scheduled.

I am not well and a bit grumpy, yes. F*** this noise. Ugh.

My mind is only thinking of negative things this morning. All those little annoyances that I really have no power over. A sign I'm exhausted and the brain is using such ideas to keep my legs moving with "fight or flight." It's why I hate Fridays sometimes.

Was going to go to the gym this morning.

But I stayed up late.

Now I'm like a hungover college freshman who was late to breakfast in the commons. Oy vey. When did I get this old. I think I'll clean the kitchen and call it day.

More coffee. And a nap. Dang.

Now I lost my favorite bloody fountain pen.

Normally? I could give a crap. But when the crap is in huge circles around me, the little things are, somehow, worse.

Breathing, breathing. Maybe a little retail therapy is in order. To the Amazon.

And I have been denied ongoing usage of my weight loss medication---assigned to me to steer me away from diabetes.

Interesting. So, like, getting sick means they make money and a complete dependence on them?

Hopefully my doctor is good at writing and convince them otherwise.

One of my goals this year is to have better habits.

Oddly, I have some strong ones. Gratitude. Journals. Meditations. Medications on time. Cleaning. Gym.

So what's next? I am thinking of daily writing. What else?

When you have small dogs, you can't do your morning walks in the pouring rain without them giving attitude. Ugh.

A few months ago, I was sad that my girlie was now switched to senior dog food. I'm not ready. Alas, I announced today I was going to take a nap and she ran RAN into the bedroom with toys and plopped down in the bed.
They get the importance of a nap in less than hospitable weather.

Survived Jury Duty. As much as Washington DC is slowly becoming Berlin, at least in my tiny hamlet-the system moves on.

In other words, they've not reached here yet. Still, I'm glad I went and learned a bit.

Remember.

it's not about TikTok--it's to keep y'all busy on the mundane as they get to do what they want.

Tomorrow is already stressing us out and we don't even connect the dots.

I've loved the RPG "Chill and the D and D realms of Ravenloft.

I cannot wait to see this Dark Moor. I probably just need to move in.

Do they need a Spirit Bard? I can summon, ya know.

Sorry, never liked TikTok before this, anyhows....because of a NYT investigation, not due to Meta's meddling.

Hm.

Back to preCOVID weight. Interesting.

And my first blocking of the week has begun.
January 17, 2025 at 9:40 PM
And? There's a Queens of Pop station on SiriusXM.

Hitting the spot this afternoon. Need to replace my latest read, so nice to have company.

I have to start remembering to post over here. It is not part of my daily routine.
January 17, 2025 at 11:39 AM
Today was kinda a bad juju day, wasn't it? Sorta done on several levels with 2025. Yeah.

MOnday extended into Tuesday. Now it's Wednesday. Hope is not high. Ugh.
