Two nights ago I dreamed something about deciding when I would post something about 9-11 on my Facebook wall. I guess it was that time of year and I was deciding whether or not I wanted to share any remembrance memes about it.

Then I dreamed I was trapped in this building with no way out. It was after dark and a group of people was locking up for the night when I ran to catch up with them so I wouldn’t get locked inside. As I reached for my phone to call Tom I realized I didn’t know his number and I guess I didn’t have it on the phone either, so between that and worrying that he might not answer anyway, I woke up as I was about to panic in the dream.

The new bathroom light came today along with another one of those Magic Velvet coloring books. It’s five bucks for just 6 colorings but I love the velvet backgrounds in the way patterns are revealed as you color.

Believe it or not, we’re in for a storm. And when I say storm I don’t mean anything like what Arizona or Florida gets but just some wind and rain and cooler-than-normal temperatures. It’s definitely not a good evening to go on a bike ride mostly because of the wind and because I’m tired. Took a Zyrtec last night before bed because I was a little itchy and it may have left me with next-day drowsiness. Something’s got me tired today but I am anxiety-free which is most important. Started off a little light-headed but I’m okay now.

The Twenties really can’t go more than a couple of weeks without projects. This week it was Closet World. At least this project was on the inside of the house and not the outside, even if I still have to hear the door slamming of whatever service vehicle they use.

I was surprised when Aly’s doctor said she might actually have hyperthyroidism instead of hypothyroidism but she’ll know for sure soon. Really hope she doesn’t have to take my medication. They treat hyperthyroidism with iodine.

She mentioned using Nair instead of having to shave her legs and I decided to pick myself up some today when we went to Walmart earlier. I think it’s way better for older people as one of the benefits to aging, yes there are a few benefits, is that you have less body hair, and the hairs that you do have tend to be thinner.

I heard from Tammy today and she sounded surprisingly wonderful. I didn’t hear any congestion or wheezing in her voice. She sounded very clear and easy to understand. Just maybe she will live to the ripe old age of 80-something as long as she keeps up on her health.

She said that yes, it is possible to go deaf from fluid behind the ear from allergies and that he needs antibiotics. She also mentioned something you breathe that’s steamy and a prescription allergy pill.

Tom said that other than the stupid Flonase the urgent care doctor recommended, he doesn’t feel like he has allergies. I just wonder if he’s going to be able to get in to see anyone in the first place. He does have an appointment scheduled for August with the doctor he’s been seeing but I know he would rather not return to him. He left a message with my ENT but hasn’t heard back from her yet.

Also, he’s having trouble getting ahold of our eye doctor. I know she only has one receptionist but what is it with this fucking place? Why is it so hard to be seen here?

I’m deaf in my left ear and he’s deaf in his right ear. I would love to swap right ears until tomorrow afternoon because then I could sleep through the trash and recycle trucks coming through tomorrow. Yeah, I’m on nights now.

She said that as for my vision, it could be my devices just like in her case. I thought of that and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s it. Those harsh LED lights definitely are good for our eyes which is exactly why I’m banning naked bulbs from this home and getting things with globes or some kind of frosted fixture.

Was glad that a few people I shared the pic of my little red dot with that I have on my back don’t think it’s psoriasis. We could be wrong but I think I agree it’s probably not. Based on the images I’ve looked at, psoriasis seems to be a lot more widespread than just that one spot. As for the flat dry patches, I do live in a relatively dry climate and I am older so maybe that’s all it is. Even Tom has some dry spots. I hope it’s no big deal because the last thing I want to do is go collecting AI diseases like I once collected dolls or something.

Supposedly Alexa recorded and emailed a private conversation a woman was having with her husband to one of her email contacts. I’d love to know what they said, LOL. Why not, her contacts know.

I’m not worried about it, though. I mean I’m not stupid. I know she’s listening. All the time. But we don’t say anything scandalous enough to be worth hitting the mute button. Sure makes you wonder what people feel they have to hide, though. I also wonder if the friend received an audio recording or a printed transcript. I’m just the curious type, especially when it comes to tech stuff.

So last night I dreamed that Bob and Virginia were still our neighbors but the houses looked different and there was more space around the sides of them as Virginia got in their car and drove around to the other side of their place to check on something. Then Bob called me from an open window and asked how I liked his Halloween mask. It kind of reminded me of the hockey mask that Jason Voorhees wore, LOL.

Then I went on to tell him some story from my childhood. Something my dad may have done for some special occasion.
