The government has reopened, and hopefully, the services people need will happen quickly!! What a joke for trump, though. Let’s hope this comes back to bite him where it hurts with the LONGEST shutdown ever. Plus the damning Epstein reports. Will it bring him down? Probably not, unfortunately. sigh….
Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! My labs came back and went down!!!! not in the normal range but down 4.5 points to 21!!!! I’m over the moon. So. I get a reprieve for at least another month!!!!
I’ve adjusted quite well to my ResMed CPAP machine. Clearly, I had sleep apnea, and this seems to have relieved ALL the symptoms. As resistant as I was, now I’m glad I persevered. The one I have just has the pillows you put in your nose, so it is not claustrophobic. Overall, I’m pleased that it’s working. I haven’t noticed much difference during the day, though. Supposedly, you are supposed to feel less sleepy, which I didn’t have to begin with. Anyway, there’s an app to use to track sleep and use of the CPAP, and it’s fun to look at it.
Thankful for the pool as always. I went on Veteran’s Day, and holidays are hit or miss. This time was a hit, and I had a lane to myself. It was very nice.
Thankful for my kids helping when they can. I’m hoping my son comes up this weekend to do some stuff, but his partner just had surgery, so he’s been caretaking them. (non binary).
Thankful to be getting a little more organized. I redid my clothes in the closet, since most of B’s are not in there anymore. One side looks good, the other is still a mess. But I plan on working on that today.
I’m thankful that, even though it’s raining, I can use the treadmill to get some steps in. Rain is forecast for the whole day.
Well, I’m off to do whatever.

Chris: WOO HOO on your labs! Makes me smile.
As to the other, relieved and grateful the shutdown is over. Painfully aware though that it will be weeks before services get back to anything resembling normal. As to tRump and Epstein, I hope (desperately) that Pritzker (IL gov) is wrong: he predicts the orange man will create some “crisis” on purpose to divert attention from the damning files.
I feel like I just got a break and I need it!! One day at a time. I hadn’t heard about the gov. saying that, geez, I hope not.
Great news about your results – that is one less worry. Trump always seems to overcome his messes he is like a cat with nine lives.
It was a relief, that’s for sure. Since it’s the trend that is important, going down definitely helped. I’ll just wait and see how next month is, but for now I am celebrating!
