Things That Are Just Annoying

I slept wrong, again. My drugs are wearing off, and it's roughly an hour and a half before I can take another dose. I don't know if going flat will help, but I'm gonna try.

My Cpap stopped working last night. I therefore got bad sleep, so I feel like crap this morning.

I was awakened by Explorer trying to get under the covers.  That's the worst that she's reacted to fireworks in years.  Happy new year!  I have some puncture wounds to clean and bandage.

I did not hear any. Spent the evening at a fairly upscale subdivision in an isolated still rural community (but developing fast).

Lots of private fireworks near my job last night. 

I still think they are close enough to the airport to get the FAA & Homeland Security involved. 

Or maybe the managers of my hometown crop duster airstrip just liked bullying their neighbors.

It's not fair. I feel like I have a hangover, but I didn't drink anything stronger than peppermint tea last night. Bleh. I'm staying in bed for a while.

[mlooney 3,823]

I got up to eat breakfast. This was a mistake. Going back to bed. Why the hell do I feel like this today? Headache, vertigo, and body pains aren't responding to my normal drugs. I am not gruntled.

The house next door is bright white, and it reflects light through the only window without a shade. Typically, this isn't a problem. Today, on the other hand… Bleh. Thinking strongly about putting on the Cpap mask and crawling under covers to hide from the daystar.

Eating seems to be a Bad Thing with whatever I have.  My afternoon snack/early supper went badly.

[mlooney 3,823]

Not really annoying as such, but a blast from the past. I'm getting spam in Italian again. 

[mlooney 3,823]

Yesterday we had rain in the morning, which  woke me up.  Drugs took care of the knee pain.  Today, there really isn't a forecast of rain this afternoon, and only about 30% around midnight.  Why the @$$## does my right knee hurt, and why aren't the drugs working today? 

[mlooney 3,823]

Wearing a Cpap mask while sneezing and having a runny nose is suboptimal. 

[mlooney 3,823]

As I, or Explorer, depending on your point of view, have said, I have a cold right now. Tested for COVID-19 and came up negative. I'm also using a Cpap now. I called the Cpap people about what to do when I was coughing and sneezing a lot and was basically told to suck it up and wear the mask, but to be sure to clean it. The machine I have calls home every morning, so the Medicare people know whether I'm using it or not. Not quite sure how I feel about that.

[mlooney 3,823]

My coughing fits seem to be related to eating. Less than full gruntled by this.

So on a given day you may eat, sleep or breathe.  

Do you make the choice, or is it randomly assigned?

Yeah, about that.  It appears to be random.

My Italian spammer is sending four or five a day.  Today I got four, all about, as near as I can tell, my iCloud account being deleted if I don't send them money.  I haven't had an iCloud account this decade, and when I did, it was the “free when you buy a Mac computer” thing. 

“Delete all spam.”

[mlooney 3,823]

I need to walk more.  A half-mile walk shouldn't make my lower legs hurt and make me slightly winded.

[mlooney 3,823]

I'm starting to have an anxiety attack.  Buuuuut I was told not to take my old drug while I titrate the new one unless it's “something major.” Generalized anxiety isn't major.

[mlooney 3,823]

It's good weather; I thought I would go get milk.  I got on the e-bike, got out on the street, and my lower back on the right side said, “No, white boy, you are not getting milk today.” I'm less than fully gruntled by this.

[mlooney 3,823]

Well, the toothache is gone. I'm also now missing the lower right rear molar. It had already broken, but the last part of it came out.

[mlooney 3,823]

I really should go get milk today, while the weather is good (72, feels like 70), but my right hip and my lower back are still telling me, “Not today, white boy.”  While not quite as warm, it looks like goodish weather for the rest of the week. 

Of course executive dysfunction figures into this as well.

I sucked it up and went for milk.

I have a “this is not a migraine” headache right now.  I've taken drugs, but they aren't working yet. Right now, I'd almost rather have a migraine, as imitrex always works and works fairly fast.  Normal head aches? OTC stuff takes over 45 minutes to kick in, if they do at all.

[mlooney 3,823]

 I got up to get another mug of tea.  Stood up wrong (I know what I did, but I still do it about once a month) and torqued the crap out of my left hip.  That's not the one that normally gets painful.  Taking drugs and going to go keep it flat.   FML
