Well, wel, well. Isn't that interesting.
As insect diversity plummets, AI ocntinues to rattle our cages, and more, here's some positive news for you:
Green spaces in cities like London and Barcelona are not only lowering heat island effects but lowering *breathing difficulties in children*. That's right. More trees, less awful. :-)
What's really fascinating about this is that it's so common-sensical, but it took studies to get governments to do it. I mean, for real? Anyone ever bnreathe WORSE in fresh green air than in car exhaust? (OK, maybe, if you're allergic, but still.)
Renting land to wind turbines can be profitable AF --- check out what the rate is near you. Some ranchers are making half their money off renting space to wind turbines!
And in fozzilized dino dung, we found an astonishingly preserved FEATHER!

Hubby out of the house, Dixie suddenly a darling. Hmm. THis is her when she's not around him .

By nine AM, Hubby fell in the shower, the skink died between the floor and the wall, and we foudn out that pie biatch made sure we're getting... no share of the turns outs to be 250K US$ that was meant to be Hubby's share of things. Unless you count an old car worth 20K at best, more like 10K on trade-in.All that by 0900.Where are we taking off to for the vacations we all need?I'm headed for the...
I am groggy but determined to get a few things done today. Also, I'm going to chat with an old friend who lives in Toronto later today. I'm looking forward to that.
I've already checked a couple of boxes that are on my list. I want to use the carpet cleaner in the area that Ceilidh occupied today. There's a couple of spots that need to be cleaned, I have paperwork to sort and file too. And, reduce the messages in my inbox.
I need a haircut badly, My stylist is across the pond on vaycay. I'm a couple of weeks overdue already. My hair is completely out of control. I made an executive decision today to see someone else at a different salon, I'd like a fresh set of eyes and in a couple of months, I want to change my hair colour too. I'd like some feedback on that too. I need a change and a morale booster.
I think that abandoned malls should be converted into multi use that include living/apartment areas, hydroponic farms and use the roof top for solar along with plants/trees. The basics are already there. We need more indoor farming because of climate change. It could be a thriving community with places to eat/coffee and green spaces.
Miki - I hope that Miki is good to go today in her surgical suit. Fingers crossed that work is tolerable.
I'm out! Waves!
Life is so dang hectic right now with wedding planning, appointments, etc
The shoulder orthopedic surgeon (saw him a couple weeks or so ago) thinks I have a torn tendon in my right shoulder. My PCP will be happy he's going to MRI BOTH shoulders, I have had issues with the left on and off for about 3 years. I also need a new MRI of my back with my bad discs, arhtritis and spinal stenosis seeing as for 10 years my back has been bone on bone. My knees are completely bone on bone too now but no pain with the steroid shots for about 3 months at at ime now. We stopped the gel shots because they don't last at all and sometimes do nothing for my knees. Once the injections stop helping we are doing replacements which is as of a few months ago a LOT less invasive and quicker recovery.
I don't want the wedding date anywhere certain people can see so putting on here just that its coming up this fall. May put more in my journal later. We are no contact with my very abusive brother since end of 2020, also 2 used to be friends keep trying to come back in my life and I am DONE with toxic relationships, and already found out everything the one wrote to me on fb messenger (shes now blocked from everything to do with my fb) is all lies. Also I just don't need the unneeded drama that follows both. Problem is they both found out were getting married soon and I pray they don't know the date time or location! There will be 2 people besides Mom at the wedding who will keep an eye out and escort them off the property if they would show up.
I am getting a new back MRI for 2 reasons, 1 is because I am due for one and second is because when I fall thru our porch, I have had worse back pain that had been controlled pretty well with the low dose naltrexone and the pain is different..... BUT now for the good news!
I AM OFF MY CANE!!!!!!!!!! For 3 weeks now and did it withOUT help! I surprised Matt and Mom etc. I restart PT today have not been in 7 weeks due to she wanted me to see the orthopedic surgeon for my shoulder first due to how I could barely move it in the beginning. I can move it now but not full motion and I also have pain always with it.
Okay off to get my lab I get every week normally lthis time we did 2 weeks since my warfarin has been keeping my INR in therapudic range for about 6 weeks! 10mg daily seems to be the sweet spot for me lately. so I will find out how it did over 2 weeks this time!
I am on my CPAP for about a month now with 2 liters of oxygen at night. Morning migrainesa re pretty much non-existent. We are also pausing botox because I am already 5 ish weeks late and oxy is KNOWN for causing migraines and I been off it 3ish months now, also went off other meds that can cause them. I am sleeping 3 to 5 hours a night now which for me is a record! it was around 2 to 3 hours if that, so it does help!
I will try to fill in on more later, but one thing, if you can get Tonmya covered and are able to take it and low dose naltexone??????? DO IT!!!! I have NO fibro or neuropathy pain 95 percent of the time and over all my pain for my back (other than from the fall but its still much less than before the naltrexone) knees, everything is so much lower! But my pain drs office and my pharmacy said I am the ONLY one who has gotten approved for it and my insurance approved it in 8 minutes from when they got the PA!!!!!!!! I am also been losing 3 pounds a week on Victoza ! Other than been off it a week due to the pens broke but will have it today since my endrocronologist said he was going to up the dose anyways so just will now instead of next week so I can get it!
Okay out the door for the lab plus Matt and I both have PT, he needs to go to Michigan works (still cant find work ) and unemployment site hasn't been working, he had a dermatology appointment and forget what else we have! plus a run to walmart! Okay is it bedtime yet? My tired Is tired!
