I was reading more psychology facts, and one said that people don’t stop caring—they just quit pretending to. I immediately thought of Arteaga.

My insurance company just scared the shit out of me. We got a letter saying my insurance was canceled while everything online appeared fine. So we called them, and it turns out the letter was sent the day before they received payment for the new plan. They say the new card is on the way, but even if we didn’t have it on time, it wouldn’t prevent me from going to my appointments next month.

My nose woke me up yet again, and I’m pissed that I wasted $40 on a heated hose I didn’t need. I should have known better, too. This problem needs surgery or hopefully, hopefully, a medication I can tolerate.

I never thought I would say this, but I wish it would freeze hard for a couple of days to kill off allergens in the air. It’s breezy today, and I figured that since my nose is fucked up anyway, I might as well let in some fresh air, so I opened the master bathroom window and the slider for a while to generate a good cross breeze. You can tell it’s fronting something that’s coming. They say it’s going to rain this evening and then we’re going to have a cold spell, but it’s not going to freeze. Meanwhile, I have to sleep elevated, no matter how much I hate it.

When I was out back for a few minutes, I saw that one of Toni’s storeroom doors was ajar, so I messaged her about it. I told her I would go out and close it for her if she wants.

For $10, I got a nature VR app that’s still in development. It’s good, but not great. The image quality could be a little sharper, and I’m not sure the scale is realistic as it almost seems a little too big. It’s still okay for the price for meditation. There are 12 different beaches and lakes, but mostly beaches. A few are kinda dull.

I started to watch a VR video he shot of him playing with baby Tink the other day and got all teary-eyed. As we both agree, that’s the Tinky we want to remember—the young, happy, playful Tink that could run and jump and climb, not the Tink that was always out of breath due to her giant tumor. He had the camera on the floor so it looked like you were viewing it from lying on the floor. One scene was funny when he appeared to grab himself. What he was actually doing was trying to keep her from climbing up the inside of his pants, LOL. Rats love climbing up pant legs and sleeves. Another cool part was when she got curious and checked out the camera. It looked like you were looking at a gigantic rat.

Really addicted to Arrows, an app I have on my phone. It’s so simple and colorless, yet challenging and fun.
