Definitely got chronic fatigue. Oh well. This is what I'm used to, and it's not like we have money to do all kinds of things anyway. So as long as I have some energy on appointment days, I’ll just live with it. Don't have any other choice anyway. I won’t be getting any more CoQ10 after this bottle runs out.

Took a nap, but it wasn't a great one because I didn't have the CPAP or the nasal dilator or a nose strip on, so I couldn't breathe well through my nose.

As I was falling asleep yesterday, I was wondering if my neck getting better really was because of upping my workouts or if a cyst drained. Then I realized that I could find that out simply by doing it again. However, I don't have the energy to do it. The energy I had was likely just a fluke, like the burst of energy I had for a while when I was last with Galileo in 2022 or 2023.

I had a dream I had just woken up, and Tom told me a hurricane was coming. In another dream, he told me he didn't feel well. In reality, this hurricane season seems to be pretty mellow so far. Maybe we won't have anything this year. There's a wave off the African coast that currently has a 40% chance of development, but even if it does develop, it doesn't mean it's going to come here.

Got a cute little ankle bracelet arriving today. 

The dryer belt broke, so Tom fixed it yesterday. He also upgraded the schedule program by making it automatically adjust to my schedule. It keeps track of the average wake-up time.

We also went to Publix, and if someone could tell me why the hell they were selling firewood in August in Florida, I would really like to know the answer, lol.

We got treats yesterday at Publix, and I was definitely bad. I got all kinds of junk, and my weight is up another pound. I’ve gained back 6 of the 10 pounds I lost and I’m ready to get serious about intermittent fasting. It’s the only thing I can think of to stop gaining, being as metabolically fucked as I am. My metabolism is so horribly slow that I want to try to get down to just two meals a day instead of three meals, and there can't be any snacks in between meals except maybe a yogurt and a glass of wine. I would like it even better if I could do just one meal a day. The only challenge is going to be making sure I have all the vitamins and nutrients I need, so maybe I'll do shakes for one of those meals. Again, it's the only thing I can think of to stop gaining more. I can't go about it using conventional methods, so I have to get a little extreme. Even if I could stand to get myself in the target range, levo is a treatment and not a cure. People with Hashimoto's still can't usually just lose weight by dieting and exercising.

Rhonda’s staff are a bunch of fucking idiots. Really, I feel like I’m talking to a five-year-old! When they called a second time to schedule my next appointment—after I already told both Rhonda and them via the portal that I wanted to do it online next month—I messaged them on the portal and said that this was the third time I was asking them to contact me through the portal instead of by phone, because I’m not always available to take calls, and that I scheduled the appointment online. What does the stupid idiot reply with? She tells me my lab orders are mailed to me, and she can’t do scheduling through the portal. I’m like, oh my God, what a fucking stupid idiot! Totally missed my point. I didn’t bother to explain to the five-year-old brain that I was saying I was going to schedule online and, therefore, there was no need to call me. Duh!

Tom thinks there will be more virtual apps like Galileo, and that Amazon is going to be the future of things that can be done virtually. He pointed out that everyone wanted to shop in person, but Amazon was stubborn, and now most people shop online. Well, I don't think their stubbornness is going to get everybody into Galileo and Galileo-like apps, because look how long it's taking. It's just like with universal healthcare. If it hasn't happened here yet, it's not going to. No one wants virtual appointments or to deal with portals. In that case, I’ll just make all my appointments in person from now on and plan on doing everything by phone. If I'm going to be forced to stay stuck in the past, there's no point in fighting it.
