The weather has been historically cold. It hasn’t been this cold in decades, at least from what I’m hearing. I don’t know if it’s an exaggeration or not, but what started off as seemingly the warmest winter since we’ve been here has turned into the coldest winter, and it’s not going to let up anytime soon. It’s better for sleeping, but I’m otherwise ready for Florida to get back to being Florida. It was ferociously windy yesterday, too.

I’m getting a little stressed as the week approaches, wondering if they’re going to follow through with contacting me about the nasal procedure—how far out they’re booked, how much it will cost, and whether it will be noticeably helpful.

The combination of clonazepam and melatonin that Rhonda recommended has helped me sleep better, but it doesn’t help when I flip onto my stomach in my sleep and smother my mask, waking myself up. If my head tilts downward too far or at a certain angle, this happens. I’m still making a point of keeping my head elevated too, just not too much. Making myself too uncomfortable won’t help.

If I could remember things better these days, I would have remembered that I was having a Cologuard test mailed to me. It’s the same one Galileo had me do when I was having stomach issues a few years ago.

Feeling the way I did the day I walked across the long parking lot to the bathrooms when we were charging showed me I really need to get in better shape, fatigued or not (although I’ve been feeling better these last few days), so Tom brought the treadmill back indoors, and I’m making a point of walking for a minute or two every hour. I need to do more exercise that’s going to elevate my heart rate more. The glider hardly counts.

Later...

I had an interesting chat with Kathy last night. We were laughing about our trolling days, and messing with Molly. I told her about one time when I anonymously reached out to Molly on Ask back when it existed, saying, “I’m Amanda, remember me?” She actually knew someone by that name, so I just went along with it. lol

Then Kathy told me she used to play with her using the name Janet Martinez. I thought about it and was like, Janet Martinez? Janet Martinez… That name sounded familiar. I looked it up in my 2013 journal and found that I mentioned someone by that name friending a friend of mine on Facebook, and automatically assumed it was Kim, who had used variations of the name. Or so I thought. Then I wondered: was it actually Kathy doing that? Kathy and I were still on good terms at that time, so I don’t know. More than likely, Kim saw the name and decided to use it.

Incredibly, the honker went two months without riding the motorcycle! I’m not sure if it’s because of an injury or if he’s just that busy, but it’s definitely nothing I can complain about. I still can’t believe he hasn’t done any projects yet, either. Maybe he realized he was pushing it and that it wasn’t a wise idea to go to some other country with people who didn’t like him and make a racket. If I went to another country and knew someone there didn’t like me, I’d be a little careful, too. It seems he’s not only busier but also wants to stay a little more out of sight and out of mind. That’s perfectly fine with me.
