I am AmoretteA on Bluesky. I hate new social media. I miss when LJ was the happening place.

The closer we get to the tRump regime, the more depressed, stressed and nauseated I get.

No matter what I do, the curmudgeon manages to make the dinner unpleasant enough I never want to do it again. We were okay through the first half, then I cleared plates and scraped them into the wrong garbage bag. It went downhill from there.

Tidied my room back to my standards and called the repairman for a ( Read more... )

I had an infusion one day -- two hours snoozing in a comfy chair -- and am taking HUGE pills twice a day that I have to split in half to get down and I take pills with no problem. Eating bananas and ( Read more... )

Day five. Not terribly sick but bored.

Had a dream that needed NO interpretation the other night. I was carrying a whole bunch of bags full of lots of boxes and kept dropping or misplacing either a bag or a box ( Read more... )
