That's quite a title!

You make a really good point, Una.
I've recently started attending an online writing group that has a really interesting way of giving feedback.

The aim is to focus solely on what works in any given piece, because the world will very quickly put a dampener on that initial spark.

Believing in something is the only way you'll see it through.

Couch Workout Club day 78

One set of seated core workout exercises today, for consistency's sake.

I'm OK physically, but for some reason the gastric element has made a reappearance.

Hey artie how is the metformin going? Remember not to take it when you are not eating, it will definitely make you queasy.

Ive been taking my 2000 mg as 4 x 500, with my 4 meal/snacks a day. Ive been getting some excellent glucose readings in the morning. Dr says to take 1000 twice a day with your biggest meals, but i am not eating BIG meals, so IDK.

Someone just spammed knocked on the door and rang the doorbell. I'm alone today and was too scared to go look. It wasn't maintenance or police because they would announce themselves. And we have a no solicitor sign and a video surveillance sign in the window. I think it's my sister harassing us again. Maybe someone trying to serve us? I don't know though. We didn't give our address to anyone, not even the DMV. It's really scary. They did this to H a couple weeks ago, too.

Yikes, Scarlet.

That's awful.

I hope they'll clear off soon.

I haven't started taking it yet, actually. The Rx didn't get sent to the pharmacy until this morning for some reason. Dr prescribed 850mg twice a day. We shall see how it goes once I get it.

Oh Scarlet I'm sorry that's happening. I hope they stop and get a freakin' life whoever it is.

True, Una. I never even thought of that.

Hugs, Scarlet. I was also thinking political canvassing. You did the right and safe thing in not answering though.

I had a triple vaccination today—flu, Covid, second shingles shot. Starting to hit me now.

I voted early and put up a sign on the front door: “I ALREADY VOTED. GO AWAY.” Way too many political canvassers this year.

More power to you, @@.

I couldn't do three in one visit, no matter how important.
I negotiated just flu today - one sore arm is enough.

A sign on the door sounds like a great deterrent.
I often consider those 'No cold callers' signs.

I hope you can take care of the basics today and rest.

I react strongly enough to flu or Covid shots alone--I'm not sure I could handle two at once, let along three. And I think the shingles one is supposed to hit hard on its own (though better than actual shingles, I suppose). Hope the side effects aren't too bad and subside quickly.

And I voted by mail (well, a ballot box) yesterday--maybe we should try the sign, too. Though most of my harassment has been via phone calls (well, I assume--I haven't answered) and texts.

Couch Workout Club day 78

Some light yoga due to arm ache from the flu vaccine.

I got the flu shot at the univ - the student nurses come to the law school - it didn't bother me this year but I haven't had the other two - I do need to get the shingles shot

ATAT-I hope the side effects from the shots fade away quickly. I still need to go get mine. The people work for asked me to get it soon.

Scarlet-That’s scary. Can you give the video recording to the police?

Luckily nobody is knocking at my door. My dogs bark is loud and deep and my windows are open. The last time someone knocked I let my dog outback and he ran up to the fence and started barking at them. Needless to say, they left quickly.

Lately I’ve been getting mildly annoying spam text messages asking if I’m interested in selling my home. When I google the phone numbers it just ends up being local investors. I answered the one text and told them if they are interested in giving me $750,000 for my 3 bedroom, 1 Bath 1200 square foot home, I’d be happy to sell it. I also never heard back from them. Wonder why. (Insert sarcasm)
