We got the ECG testing device, and it’s simple to use. You just hold it with the palms of your hands touching the sides for 30 seconds. No abnormalities yet except for Tachycardia, as expected.

We also have an air fryer on the way, which I’m excited about. I miss having one of those but because we have such a small kitchen, it’s a tiny one. That may be a good thing, though. It would not only make it easier to clean but keep us from getting too carried away with our portions.

I’ve been totally exhausted, for the most part, trying to work my schedule around the upcoming scope. Yesterday when the fatigue hit I ended up taking a 45-minute nap and that gave me fuel to function for the rest of the day. I tried to get up at 3 this morning, but I just couldn’t do it. So I dozed on and off until 4:30. I was tired for the first four or five hours of my day, but I wouldn’t let myself get back into bed. I perked up a little eventually, but whether I’m tired or not, I’m sure I’ll still battle insomnia later on like I always do. Last night I took a whole hydroxyzine pill, and that alone didn’t do much. Melatonin alone doesn’t always do much either. But if I take that in conjunction with hydroxyzine, it seems to help. Three more days of this shit!

Haven’t been on the road as much as I’d like, but I finally hit 1%. It took getting 164 miles into the trip to do it. The trip is 16,236 miles long so it’s going to take years. My rank is now 318.

They sprayed the front of their place next door for bugs and they’re going to be seeding in a few weeks. This shouldn’t require any loud equipment that could wake me up if I’m sleeping at the time. Today they washed their car.

Been making a point to go out back and hang out there for a few minutes a day when we’re not going anywhere and when the sun is out so I get my natural source of vitamin D. We’ve got a few palm trees coming up in back there. Just beyond the fence, I also saw a cactus which was a surprise. I didn’t think that was native to Florida of all places!

The bitch with a motorcycle is annoying at times, coming and going. She did this three or four times yesterday and I heard her today as well. She definitely doesn’t just get on the thing and go like the honker does. Some people truly don’t give a shit about those around them.

Why is Kim always home? I get that she has the mentality of a 5-year-old as Carol said, but aren’t there some kind of work or activity programs for people like her? Is being home all the time really good for her, especially since she’s at least able-bodied and able to keep a schedule? I wish she was a little more active because sometimes doing email with her is more like a chore than fun. I’m going to space them out more because I know that in less than two hours of sending an email to her, I’ll get hit with a long, rambling repetitive reply.
