I did the cash in envelopes thing for quite a while back in the day and it was very effective but I don't do anything with cash anymore.

I got into very bad (i.e., pricey) habits because of the pandemic that's for sure. I was glad when at least the farmers markets went back to cash. But I still shop way too often at the Ferry Building market. I already have zero willpower when it comes to food, but now that I have to cook so much more (and am so tired of it), it's even worse.

Still sick. Will try taking Tylenol at beginning of day tomorrow also to stave off afternoon chills. My guess is some sort of mild bacterial either infection or virus or are those the same thing?

It would be either bacterial or viral. Either way, ugh! (Have you had a covid test?)

{{msbelle}} I'm sorry. I hope it doesn't last much longer

I’ve had nothing recently. I asked for an Appt with my pcp which should prompt a nurse responding.

Timelies all!

Well, it's Friday, for what that's worth.

Yeah, I just had another friend (this one in Seattle) say she got it despite being vaccinated (though so far the rest of her family hasn’t?). So def consider a test msbelle!

FedEx just delivered my meds refill. I had taken my last remaining dose this morning.

There was a hitch in the regular refill order that was made on Monday - the specialty pharmacy tried to order the 500mg pills instead of the usual 250mg pills (dose is 1000mg, I would be okay with either) and insurance rejected. I got the call on Wednesday, the corrected order got processed yesterday, refill left Indianapolis last night.

Huge sigh of relief. Not going to miss any doses.

Whew! I'm glad that worked out but how scary to be so close to running out!

Argh. US healthcare system. Ugh.

I've skipped about 250 posts, but felt the need to share this article about a U.S. resident with monkeypox. [link]

I hope everyone is well.

Matt, I'm happy to have seen your good news about your mom.
