Stretch has not lived in any Lyme disease areas, so it's unlikely. 

Unless, the Lyme is ferret-borne.

 

Anyway, happy New Year! 

[TBoneTX 45,241]

Happy New Year to all, si men & ma'ams.

(Depending on inebriation status, Newpy Hap Year, hic man.)

And Happy Columbus Day to Asia, oj tak!

[TBoneTX 45,241]

We (we, Mrs. T-B., & Mini-B.) went to a "holiday lights" spectacular, quite impressive man.

There was also a carnival midway, rides and food man.

Mini-B. wanted to ride the merry-go-round, adventurous wee man.

We went on with him, accompany wee we man.

We hadn't been on one of those things in Many years, memories man.

 

We were all too tired to go out but went out anyway, do something man.

Stayed a couple of hours, plenty man.

Expensive as Hades, too, lucky we'd restocked our wallet earlier man.

 

At the casa, we ate some peach pie, ingest we & she & wee man.

Mrs. T-B. faded fast and went to bed not quite an hour before midnight, faded she man.

Mini-B. joined her soon thereafter, join she wee man.

We put them to bed and wished we didn't have to stay up so late, exhausted we too man.

Cat T-B. already asleep, zzz miu man.

Real party-animals, cavort and frolic man.

[TBoneTX 45,241]

The morn of Manycember Many'st, we mentioned to Mrs. T-B. (for the Many,000th time) the conditon of our guest room, disastrous man.

 

For months, it featured clothing in various tall stacks, unemptied suitcases, etc., almost all Mrs. T-B.'s man.

 

To our surprise, Mrs. T-B. went right after it, whirlwind she man.

We ended up with Many (2+1) bags for donation, good day to achieve this for tax purposes man.

Several bags of garbage were created and curbsided, amply in time for collection man.

Mrs. T-B. put away every clothing article and even vacuumed the guest room, obviously out of her mind she man.

We got the donation stuff to our resale shop, donate we man.

 

This was quite an accomplishment and also the chief reason that we were all tired, explanatory man.

Furthermore, we got no nap, no zzz for we man.

[TBoneTX 45,241]

After the donation run, we supervised Mini-B.'s frolicking with two little amigos, deafening casa man.

We concomitantly managed to complete some POTS work, important Business Typhoon we man.

 

Later, we went to supermarket with expiring-today Many%-off coupon, 2x2x2x2+2+2% man.

Without trying, we were a buck-&-a-half short of the maximum possible savings, financially savvy we man.

Total savings with Many%-off, paper coupons, & store specials was Many% (2x2x2x2x2+2+2+1%), whee and glee man.

She lived in Ontario... 

Plus there were 2 cases of lyme found in AK this year.

Have you ever been tested for lyme disease?  

Omg maybe this https://www.cdc.gov/ehrlichiosis/index.html they should check for that!

 

No because the doctor didn't feel it could be that. My FIL had lyme so the spot I had looked like it to him but the doctors say no.

Long shot, but you might ask the doctor to check your B12 and iron levels. It's something they rarely look at. I'm thankful mine did before it was too late. Baring that it wouldn't hurt to look at lyme. I presume you've had mono in your life, but it's always possible that can reactivate.

Never had mono but b12 is fine. My doctor thinks its just stress from the holidays since I already don't sleep well.

True for where I lived but here they definitely have lyme carrying ticks.

Too far north in Ontario no lyme there while I was there anyaways.

There's a lot more than 2 cases of it here, but seems the doctors don't believe its in central AR yet.

 

 

Still drained but I need to get stuff done. Doing little bits of cleaning as I have energy.  What every it is is going away at least maybe just some virus and since I'm already drained it is hitting me harder.

Ive had mono and you feel tired very fast with it.   I believe they can test for mono and it's harder to spread than people think.

I'm thinking they just didn't bother testing for more than one flu type. I'm feeling better today just low energy. Mono tends to take you down hard and at my age I think it would.

You feel utterly exhausted all the time.  Like you do one thing and suddenly feel tired again.

And if you catch mono a second time, they call it duo, simple math man.

No one liked our New Year's Eve story above, huh and hmmmph man?

 

We slept till an hour before noon, sleepy new year man.

We desperately wanted a nap of equal length, Many hours man.

However, Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. went to an amiga's casa all day, left to our own devices man.

 

After an intense-yet-brief consort with the rubias, we decided to clean our office, Clean for Gene man.

We had not organized anything for Many or Many-&-a-half years, imagine that man.

 

After Many (2x2x2) hours with only half an hour's break for din-din, we made some progress, progress man.

       1.  Our desk actually has a dust-free horizontal surface, no piles sliding off man.

       2.  Half the floor has been vacuumed, no cat-litter crumbs man.

Many.  Two large piles of filing are neatly stacked, stack we man.

Many.  Many (2+2+1) garbage bags are curbsided, along with empty boxes, trashy we man.

Many.  We came upon the world's largest cache of clothespins, perhaps 2 manyzen of them man.

Many.  We found Many (2+1) Scotch-tape dispensers and Many (2+2+2) single dispensers, tapeworm man.

Many.  We found Many (2+2) pairs of scissors that had vanished, Sherlock Holmes we man.

Many.  We found 2 staplers in addition to the one in current use, discovery we man.

Many.  Several paper towels gave their lives to banish all the dust and cat-hair, Clean for Gene man.

 

We wonder what Mrs. T-B.'s reaction will be, see she man.

 

And for two vacation days in a row, we got no nap, no zzz for we man.

I think the drug house people are back in action. Constant stream of traffic again today. It's been lovely and quiet for three months while she was in jail, so that is why it seems super annoying today I guess. There is no power up there still, but people are moving in and out with torches, and the fireplace must be going as they chimney is smoking.

That being said, I've had a chat with Himself. I am going to finish up the home improvement thing and we are going to flick this place off. Enough already.

 

I have to go back down to LR tomorrow, not my favorite place to go. He has an appointment at midday with QTC, for a compensation and pension exam. I don't know why we bother, seriously. We filed this claim with the VA four years ago, and only now they are getting off their backsides. They will deny, course they will, and we will have to file a notice of disagreement. More years wasted there.

 

I think perhaps I am just tired out. Or fed  up, the result is about the same.
