"I don't want to party like it's 1999. I want to go grocery shopping like it's 1999."

Andy shared a meme saying this and I totally agree! I'll settle for going grocery shopping like it's 2020. Food prices are astronomical! Even most of the cheap stuff isn't so cheap anymore. 

Another shitty sleep. The mower didn't wake me up but I kept waking up and having a hard time falling back asleep. It was ridiculous. It was like I just couldn't get comfortable.

Tom trimmed the tree at the corner of the house that I wish he’d gotten rid of when he had someone come out and cut it back. It really was quite a workout for him. 

He donated blood today at the clubhouse which I wanted to do and was bummed that I had to sleep through but he said it was a good thing I wasn't there. He said it not only took forever but they had trouble getting a vein which is unusual for him. In that case, they’d never get mine. They also have to take your blood pressure with the arm cuff I hate and it would have taken me forever to go through my medical history and all the medications I've taken in which case they would likely not have wanted to take my blood. They took a pound of blood from him and he got a t-shirt and a $20 gift certificate for it. So I guess it worked out for the better because it doesn't sound like it would be very much fun. I have enough medical shit to deal with. 

My dentist sent reminders to get my teeth cleaned which is due November 6th, and I'll schedule that after the appointments that I have at the end of this month are out of the way. They can get me in relatively quickly so I want to wait until I have a little less going on. 

It would just be nice to get some decent sleep more than just occasionally but I've lost hope of that ever happening. I could sleep on the most comfortable bed in the world and in a sensory deprivation tank and still sleep shitty with my luck. I'm definitely snoring more than ever and I think I really do need a CPAP. Some of the times I woke up I felt short of breath. It was like I just couldn't suck in a full lungful of air. 

Also after getting the end-of-the-month appointments out of the way, I want to ask Galileo if there's any way they could help me lose weight, especially with the new drugs available but I think Tom's right when he says they’ll likely tell me I'm not heavy enough. First I had him measure my height to see if I'm closer to 4 ft 10 in or 4 ft 11 in because I'm never sure which one it is and which one to choose when asked. The answer is the latter. At 163 lb and this height, my BMI is 32.9. They usually won't help you unless you're 40 or higher. I'm not diabetic and I don't have PCOS or anything like that so they likely wouldn't give me any drugs for weight loss. 

Going to the lab on Thursday morning. I expect my kidneys will show that they're handling the Losartan well but I don't expect my thyroid to be good at all. After seeing how shitty my numbers are, I would be willing to drop one of the 75s to every other week but I don't want to jump to all 88s that fast. I just hope it's not crazy high again! I hope that it was just a case of my body learning to absorb thyroid meds without a gallbladder and not something that's going to keep happening all the time. 

I finally got all my '90s journals done and now I'm working on the ‘00s. I got them as correct as I'm ever going to get them. I realize I can't get every single word correct and every single sentence grammatically correct but I did my best and replaced the old copies with them. It should go a little faster until the ‘10s. From there on out I started writing like crazy so there will be more to go through.
