Tom was more productive today than I’ve been in years. First, he did a beautiful job cleaning the kitchen window, and then he installed the new smart fan in the bedroom, and it looks great. It’s not connected to Alexa, but it’s got a remote. Like someone said in the reviews, though, the lowest of the 6 speeds isn’t very low. I’ve noticed this with more modern fans in general. It’s like over the last 10–15 years, everything has gotten faster, louder, and brighter. I don’t think it’ll be a problem sleeping with, though. The only thing that would suck would be if there was a power failure while I slept, because then the bright light would come on once the power came back on, and if I didn’t want to wait that long, I’d have to fumble with the remote and turn it off.

He said the 30-plus-year-old fan that was in there was barely hanging on, and it was lucky it didn’t fall. The screws were too short, and it was right on the edge. It did wobble on the higher speeds, but I didn’t usually want it on high speeds anyway. 

The white fan looks gorgeous and modern, and I love how there’s no more ticking. It has three different colors, but I’m not sure which one I’ve got on. Not the one that’s kind of yellowy. I can adjust the brightness, too.

Gave up on Yupp because they no longer let you cash out to PayPal, and you just couldn’t make much money that fast.

I had a melatonin nightmare last night where Tinkerbella somehow got outside and walked up to a snake, and of course I was terrified.

Anyway, today I had okay energy for one with CF, but it’s nothing like years ago. Trapped air still wakes me up, but I’ve noticed a pattern. It doesn’t seem to do it until later in my sleep. I just hope the pulmonologist can help me! I just want something that isn’t going to make up for half of the events. It may take time and money to get, but I hope it’s out there and I can eventually get it.

Tom wants to get a new computer because of his programming. He wants to do VR programming, and his computer is old and slow.

Made green bean casserole earlier, and it came out well. Don’t know if I’ll make it again, though.

Still feel hypo and still wondering why. Is it because my thyroid is dying some more, or the med just isn’t getting absorbed? I’d hate to have to switch to Tirosint because it’s not covered.

Like most people when they were kids and 20-somethings, I once idolized a few different celebrities, one being Linda Ronstadt. I realized that yesterday was her birthday. She turned 79. Curious as to how her health was these days, since I’m getting older as well and know how shitty it is to age and acquire more and more health problems, I did some checking. Apparently, she has a brain disorder and not Parkinson’s like they originally thought. It’s so sad too, because not only is there no cure, but life expectancy after diagnosis is something like 7 years, from what I read. I saw a fairly recent interview of her at home, and she struggles just to feed herself. I also had a hard time understanding her speech. Poor thing can’t have a decade left to go.
