Rules for life...
Call who calls you.
Ignore who ignores you.
Forget who forgets you.
Love those who love you.

I'm not much of a quote person, but I love this one. It's good advice!

So why does Word say I have 18,029 words while NewNo says 16,895? I'm at 33.79% either way.

I'm a little tired today, but still functional. When I run out of CoQ10, we'll see if my energy crashes or not. It's too soon to say whether the smudging ritual I've been doing before bed is helping or not. I'm smudging with sage and then following up with palo santo. 

I'm going to be discontinuing the B-12 supplements because when we looked at my lab results for that, we found it was normal. The only thing I was low on was vitamin D, but now that I'm almost 60, they typically tend to test you for more things, including vitamins.

My TMJ has also been acting up, and I've been having a persistent throat tickle that could be anything from allergies to the effects of nasal sprays to something with my thyroid or tonsils, although the tonsils seem unlikely. Not sure about allergies or sprays either, because this started back in Cali. I hope it's not a cyst or a nodule on my thyroid, but it could be. Unless it gets really bothersome, it's going to be a handful of months before I find out.

I napped earlier, but not very well since I didn't have the CPAP on. 

Made some awesome pork ribeye steaks earlier. With the help of AI, I patted the meat dry after tenderizing it, sprayed olive oil onto it, and then seasoned it with garlic salt, a tiny pinch of pepper, thyme, and parsley flakes. First, I seared them for about 90 seconds on each side, and then I threw them in the oven at 375 degrees for twelve minutes, and they came out great.

The honker has been quiet, but not out of sight and out of mind. Today, he was out washing his dog, and the day before, he was power washing his driveway.

Found another great way to add titles to all my journal entries. I didn’t realize my Chrome browser had a Gemini button up top. I found I can just load a page and ask it to pick titles for the entries, and it does. It's pretty cool.
