I appreciate that I slept through traffic but it would be nice if the skies would stay quiet tonight. Despite being windy, though, I hear plenty of planes and helicopters. Planes at night, traffic in the daytime. Oh, and projects too, of course. Really, we can’t go a week without them. Tricia was having her AC worked on and Geri is in the process of having the white picket fence in front of her place torn down. Why I don’t know. Looked like a fine fence to me, just maybe in need of a fresh coat of paint.

I knew it was windy when I got up because the wind chimes were going crazy. I was going to check the wind speed online but we’re having a cool spell now, and between that and the wind, I don’t want to take the bike out. Hopefully, summer will be here to stay soon enough. The days are always nice but sometimes it gets chilly early in the morning. Every time I think I won’t need my slippers for a while, I have to pull them out again. Funny too, because we were in the triple digits the other day when Tom returned from work. I was also adapting to the heat quickly and easily. Still don’t think I’m as sun tolerant as I used to be but as long as I’m not in the direct sunlight for too long, especially if I’m doing anything physical, I’m fine.

Of all the research I’ve done on the raised reddish spot on my shoulder blade, it seems like it might be benign skin cancer. I’m no dermatologist but it definitely doesn’t seem like psoriasis and it definitely isn’t eczema. I’m not worried about it, though, because this kind is almost never life-threatening.

When Tom was using the step ladder to change out the bathroom light, he gouged the 3D fishpond sticker on the floor beneath it, so I pulled it up. Even after mopping that area a couple of times, it left a sticky residue on the floor. So rather than battle with that, I’m going to replace it with a larger fishpond sticker. :-)

There isn’t much more to say. Just going to do some editing while on the treadmill, hit the Bowflex, and other things.

We’re both looking forward to our upcoming vacation. I’m excited to do the home improvements we have planned and to see what my cholesterol and hormone levels are but dreading my thyroid levels, as always. Then again, my T4 should be as normal as it always is. Based on how I feel, I don’t think my TSH is going to be that high. It’s not like I’ve had to skip my meds like crazy like I did with the other brand. As I mentioned, I recently had a dream that my thyroid numbers were normal but I don’t think it could mean anything because I don’t think 75 micrograms could get me there. It could when I first went on the medication but I don’t think it could now. If it could, my anxiety would be going through the roof because it always gets bad when I go under 8.

While it’s great that Aly doesn’t have the markers for cancer, it’s sad to see her go through the dizziness, weakness, blood transfusions and iron shots she has to have. What she needs most is a stem cell transplant but her fucking insurance won’t cover it.

I’m down from 157.0 to 155.2 but my body won’t give up more than another pound or two. Like I said, it will only let so much off just like my schedule can only jump so fast. So once I get down to 153-154, it will hold its weight.
