Today makes 2 weeks on Liothyronine. So far so good. Still no way I’d count on the anxiety not returning, though. The past always has a way of coming back to haunt me. Always. HR gets a little racy at times at about 110 but doesn’t last long. The last time was in the hot shower so that makes sense

Glad the Dems regained control of the House. Not big on politics but I know it’s never good to have one group in control of everything.

My one last treat before we buckle down and save money for the better part of a year is a pair of noise-canceling headphones to wear around the house during the daytime. The world simply isn’t going to get any quieter. They were supposed to arrive yesterday but have been delayed.

I am still going to get my monthly perfume samples despite saving on other things. Got my Shalimar sample yesterday and am not sure if I like it. It reminds me of Emeraud with a weird twist.

Ran into Virginia yesterday. She asked if we were going on vacation soon and I told her that it would be delayed due to unexpected expenses. I asked if they were going on vacation anytime soon and she said they didn’t have any family left and I guess Bob doesn’t want to drive long distances. I think they feel they’re getting too old for traveling, understandably.

I love doing the things I do on a regular basis but sometimes I get sick of doing the same old fucking things every fucking day of my life. I would love to throw some variety in there but variety costs money. Usually, anyway. I kind of wish Kathleen would call and break up the monotony but I know damn well she won’t. I just don’t see what she gets out of blowing off my offers to get together in the past and then asking for a number she knows she’ll never call. I never could see the fun in that but people do it all the time, apparently even older people. So much for thinking this was mostly a young people thing.
