Every once in a while, I check in on X to look for a company or business to contact, and while I was at it, I read one of Mary's posts that I actually agree with wholeheartedly. She said something to the effect of: As white people become more and more of a global minority, we're bullied and harassed by other ethnicities, especially these last five years, and whenever we try to address it, we're called racist. 

Like I said, I agree with this—without guilt or any apologies whatsoever.

Not surprised to see she supports Elon Musk. Of course she does. If she supports Trump, why wouldn’t she?

Looks like Doc A's arthritis theory may be correct after all. The feeling I thought was a growth of some kind on my thyroid escalated when I upped my workout regimen, but since I’ve been too tired to do anything extra, it’s backed off. I still may have a nodule or cyst of some kind, though, and I still get that tickle on that side of my throat. But maybe these sensations really are connected to arthritis, even though I wouldn’t mind an ultrasound. Still, I’ll probably hold off on bringing it up to Rhonda. I not only hate appointments for obvious reasons, but I expect to have shitty insurance until I’m 65, since silver tiers aren’t going to be as cheap as they were post-COVID. I’m likely going to have to settle for bronze, which is really better for healthy people who don’t have chronic conditions, but it’s better than nothing. Age 65 seems so damn far away! That’s longer than we’ve been in this house.

Anyway, the CoQ10 may help to a degree, but I’m still going to have too much fatigue to do anything more than the glider for the most part. Too many things fuck with my sleep too often: storms, stress of storms, stress for other reasons, power failures, snoring, nightmares, hissing, whistling… The glider barely counts because it’s so easy, but it’s better than nothing. I can’t reap the full benefits of aerobics or anything else if I can’t stick to it.
