The ICQ uh-oh is my text alert message. Has been for years. No one recognizes it anymore.

I use a cpap machine now. It helped tremendously but it doesn’t help my body pain.

I’m always tired. I don’t go to bed at a decent hour, my joints ache all the time, so I rarely sleep more than 90 minutes without waking up. I could go to sleep right now if my 8 year old wasn’t making a ruckus.

We have tried other medication, which is how we found that this one actually worked.

On February 14 I met my max out of pocket for the year. I had an upper and lower GI taken which is the bulk of the cost. My insurance is already refusing to cover some of my diabetes medication, because some people use it to lose weight (Mounjaro). I need it to keep my A1C levels under 10. I already weigh the ideal weight for my height. Because it’s so expensive and insurance doesn’t cover it, I will end up going without for the rest of the year. My old insurance covered it, but my company switched insurance in January. New insurance has never equaled better insurance. I’m so tired of insurance being tied to my job.

Getting divorced at 57. Only married 8 years, but separated for almost 3 now. I hate online dating. I worry about being creepy when I see someone I’m attracted to. I can’t bring myself to hit on anyone I work with, especially since I’m only attracted to women far younger than me (30s and early 40s). I guess I’m alone from here out, with my only physical contact coming from the occasional massage parlor.

And titties. I see more porn content than anything.

I had never heard of RSV until my dad (80) was recently diagnosed. It’s a nasty illness and highly contagious. He can barely breath, but is getting better. He carries oxygen with him now to keep his oxygen levels up.

It’s about 25 years old. It’s only 1300 square feet with a perfectly flat yard. Perfect for me and my dog… and my son on those weekends where I get to have him with me.

I bought a house. It’s not my first house, it’s my fourth, but it’s my favorite by far. It’s smaller than any of them, it cost more, but it met all my criteria.
