    Today is cloudy and cool.

    I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

    I put out water for the birds.

    EDIT 10/24/25 -- I planted 15 purple and pink mixed tulips in the purple-and-white garden.

    This is a bit different because I'm not complaining about my meds, I'm complaining how difficult in the last couple of months it's been to GET THEM.
    1st, it was filling delays. They were either out, on order or some other excuse but it never was more than a couple days without. Supply chain issues. Now, it's getting worse. This month I've run out of Cardiac, Diabetes and HIV meds(the latter still hasn't been filled. "Backordered"). Thankfully, the Diabetes meds that were out were the oral so I could titrate with my Insulin.
    Last month, after going through Withdrawal symptoms when my Lyrica was out I started weaning myself off it. I'm down to once a day and no more withdrawal. I'd been doin my BP meds every other day until it got filled. Now, it's been almost a week since I've been out of 2 of my HIV meds. 1st time since the late 90's I've missed ANY doses.
    A positive situation is that my Partner of 30 yrs is in a nursing home and our last cat died of Cardiac insufficiency so no one depends on me. Well, I feed the neighbor cats but I'm pretty sure they're indoor/outdoor cats so they'll be ok when I'm gone.
    I used to joke that when Chuck and the cats were gone I'd just go on Comfort Measures but it looks like it might not be a choice.
    Sincerely,
    Pat

    This motel was transformed into colorful affordable housing. And it's named after a civil rights icon

    Once a motel in the Reynoldstown neighborhood — built in the 1960s — the space was transformed into 56 modern studio apartments for individuals or families who were previously unhoused.

    10 effective ways you can make change — in addition to attending a protest

    In a nutshell: Nonviolent resistance is based on noncooperation with autocratic actions. It has proven more effective in toppling autocracies than violent, armed struggle.

    But it requires more than street demonstrations

    On mental health advice

    What nobody tells you: Most mental health advice is just expensive ways to avoid hard conversations and difficult decisions.

    You don't need another coping mechanism. You need to quit the job. Leave the relationship. Set the boundary. Therapy can't fix problems that require action

    Reagancomics (3 of 7): Glory Days

    Oct. 23rd, 2025 10:06 am
    [personal profile] tcampbell1000 posting in [community profile] scans_daily


    (Boosted up from 5 installments--I found even more material than I was expecting to. Warning for suicidal ideation, serious drug-use discussion.)

    At first, Reagan's portrayals in comics stuck close to the template of a generic "placeholder president," with only the occasional real-life touch to give his character some color. The most notable thing about his first comic-book appearance as president is that it stars, of all people, the "Dial 'H' for Hero" duo. The year is 1981, the comic is Adventure Comics #485.

    Kids these days, always on their phones. )

    Today is mostly sunny and cool.

    I fed the birds.  I've seen a small flock of sparrows and house finches.  Some of the sparrows were splashing in the red birdbath.

    I put out water for the birds.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- I potted up some of the asparagus seeds from the Charleston Food Forest.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- I planted 10 'Colour Magic' tulips around the barrel garden, and still have 10 left.  These flowers change colors as they mature, often starting white or yellow with color at the edges which then spreads.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- I planted the rest of the 'Color Magic' tulips in the tulip bed.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- We went out for lunch.  I picked up a bag of 12 assorted Dutch irises and a bag of 12 mixed crocuses at Rural King, plus 4 bags of compost and manure to top the flowerbeds.  Then I got a bag of 15 purple and pink tulips, and a bag of 5 purple-and-white striped crocuses at Home Depot.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

    EDIT 10/23/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

    I am done for the night.

    Note to self: do not put red grapes in a green smoothie. Red + green = brown. :/ It still tastes good, but it is not the beautiful jade-green that we usually get.

    We use the Alan's Going Green Smoothie. We don't use the jalapeño or cashews. Sometimes we use a kiwi instead of a lime. Today we used a handful of pea shoots instead of spinach, so there's a pea flavor alongside the lime.
