Today was an Adventure Day with Linna! What could have been a day spent being a lump in bed ended up with me walking over 4,000 steps!

I have that screaming loneliness in a crowd feeling again. Like no one wants or needs me around.

Despite being told otherwise when I dropped the prescription off, Publix Pharmacy will not partially fill my Lyrica while they are doing the prior authorization.

I can’t seem to shake this headache. I’ve had it since yesterday afternoon.
I know it’s not from lack of caffeine or water. If I got any more hydrated, my kidneys would float! I think I’ll try taking more ibuprofen when I go to bed, see if that helps.
In better news, my diabetes is officially under control with meds and the dietary changes I’ve made! My A1C, which was a 10.3 in April, is down to a 6.8! I still have to take my meds and watch what I eat, but now I know I can effect positive change on my life. It’s not yet more lost weight, but it’s a damn good start.
I’m going to go practice on Duolingo and maybe read some? I’ve been wanting to catch up on my #200Book Challenge.
Take your meds, folks!

Oh man did I just finish a trippy book. Review out sometime in the next few days. It was a weird one, but not in a completely terrible kind of way?
I’m just trying to not freak out about tomorrow.

2 Episodes of Carnival Row Watched
Today was a nice day off. I spent the day with Reffie, writing, chatting, and catching the first two episodes of Amazon’s Carnival Row. A pretty well-accomplished day off, if one that left me dragging a bit by the end of it. Though, they could more be a reflection of last night’s late night than anything else.

This hurricane still isn’t sure what it’s doing. It should just swing off the coast? Maybe?

While I was on holiday with my Darling Wife in June, I talked about my top five coping mechanisms. I have many, as I need many, but one may surprise you: napping.
