Just got back from yet another doctor's appointment room.
Virtually everyone, over 30 people, in the waiting room were geezers like me.
While everyone may not have as many problems as me, at least I'm not alone.

Even though I've been battling over ten chronic health conditions for well over a year, my mind keeps telling me that's all a bad dream.
I have the sensation that I'll soon wake up and I'll be that competitive athletic person that existed not that long ago.

This is a damn fine how-do-you-do.
Just broke a tooth. And what's more frustrating, I was in the dentist chair twice over the past 2 weeks. Once for a cleaning and the other for a 3-D scan of another problem tooth.
I can't catch a break these days.

Since I don't read Fox, my only exposure to comments of Trump Supporters is on Facebook and the WSJ.
Each and every day, it amazes me how masses of Americans demonstrate that they are nothing more than Bobbleheads, without an ounce of independent thought and consistent convictions.

My blood pressure range this morning is as low as my IQ.
Once upon a time, both my BP and IQ were both in triple digits.
Sad trombone.

Once upon a time, I looked forward to retirement. Crafted a bucket list of the things I wanted to enjoy after the 60 hour weeks came to an end.
Within eight months after retirement the pandemic hit. Then, my health went south along with most of the items on the bucket list.
Life. Is. Not. Fair.

Like many people, my viewership of television news is way down over the past eight weeks.
That not to say that my total viewing time is down. My viewing time of "Leave it to Beaver," "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross, and "The Price is Right" is way up.

Just read about a guy who is 110 with no major health issues. Drinks coffee daily & has an occasional beer. No restrictions in his diet.
I'm decades younger who has exercised like a fool & watched my diet for decades. Can't drink coffee or alcohol. My health is a train wreck.
Genetics.

A sure sign that one's life is winding down is when the majority of daily mail consists of cremation services, Medicare advantage plans, senior living centers, and will preparation.
After skimming through the mail, I'm ready for a couple of Prozac.

Someone needs to hurry up and invent a time machine.
Considering all that is happening, for me, I pick heading back to January 1975.
Sure, there was no internet and social media, but that sounds pretty good at this point.

I've finally reached the stage on Bluesky where all of my sporadic new followers are young women with a pic showing abundant cleavage with zero posts.

If I didn't have so many health obstacles, I can guarantee that, otherwise, I would be spending Monday someplace far, far, far away on a tropical beach sipping a fruity drink with one of those little paper umbrellas.

I've always wondered what are the benefits of gaining an extreme number of followers.
For every 1K in followers, is one rewarded with a 10% off coupon for a McRib at Mickey D's?

I've learned that one small improvement in one of my many health woes is always offset by another problem worse than the small gain.
And that's my chipper news of the day.

It's now been officially over a year since I had a drop of the devil's elixir---alcohol. And, in actuality, it's really been a year and a half since my accident that turned my life upside down.
Even though it was great decision to stop, I haven't noticed any changes in the way I feel.

I'm getting good with needles. Once upon a time I was petrified with the thought of a jab.
But now, I have to self-administer at least one shot a week. I get a blood draw, on average, once a month.
And who could forget my geezer Covid vaccinations of twice per year?
I'm a walking pin cushion.

Listening to Jimmy Carter's funeral.
Such a great and decent man.
But then, contemplating where this country is headed with the "leadership" it just elected. What the Hell happened?
How did we get here?

Just returned from a 16 mile ride on my mountain bike. The farthest since my accident. It almost felt like a real ride.
No, I'll never get back to those routine rides of 50 to 70 miles given my health and risks that I can't take.
But it's nice to get a taste of my old life.
