Jerzei Collie's journal

I was hoping to attend the FoxTrot meet in Denver tonight. I'll be going to a singles meetup in Colorado Springs from 5-7 PM. I'll likely be too tired after that. I'll either play in Steelwoulfe's game night or just go to bed early tonight.

I actually used my toilet plunger today to unclog my bathtub drain. The tub still had an inch or two of water from yesterday's shower. Hopefully I can clean the tub today or tomorrow.

I got home from the airport around 9:15 PM Sunday. I originally planned to nap until 1 AM then tune into Doggy Radio, but I was too tired. I woke up a bit after 4 AM and caught the show's tail end (because dogs.)

The temperature difference between cities wasn't as severe this time. Las Vegas was at 63° when I left, and Denver was at 41° when I arrived.

The flight home had some severe turbulence close to Denver. I was watching MTV's "Ridiculousness" on my seat-back monitor, and a collection of winter driving fails was playing while the turbulence was happening.

Catching up on e-mails, I see the medical device I ordered to help with my depression will arrive this week. Also, one of the radio stations in Denver asked me to fill out an application for a board operator position.

My energy has just been zapped all week. I think my body is trying to catch up on the sleep I didn't get the week before. My sense of smell is back just a little bit.

My furnace turned on Sunday morning for a few minutes. I had added another blanket to my bed the night before and wore sweatpants to bed. Temperatures are supposed to get back into the 70s and low-80s this week.

I didn't realize I had run out of APAP masks when I went to replace the current mask over the weekend. I ordered a few masks and should receive them later this week.

I'm going over my old playlists from past Rabbit Holes/D.J. Collie Shows to see which songs I haven't played in a while. With some exceptions, I get nervous about replaying songs because I don't want listeners to get tired of them or have my shows all start sounding the same.

I ordered four more APAP masks since I'm about to run out. These will last me until mid-May

When I moved into my condo in late-2007, the cable/phone/internet bundle I originally signed up for included three free months of HBO, Showtime and Starz. One of the comedy specials I got to see during that time was Bob Saget's "That Ain't Right." After years of seeing squeaky-clean Bob on Full House and other network TV shows, it was a hilarious surprise to hear a blue streak flow from Bob's mouth. Rest In Peace.

I got my car's oil changed today, then picked up a new extension cord to use at OA meetings. My local group began having hybrid meetings this week, with members meeting in person and online. I brought my travel laptop to host the Zoom portion online. Next week I will bring some external speakers. Zoom was hard to hear even with my laptop's volume all the way up.

The Paxil I'm taking for depression isn't really more or less effective than the generic Zoloft I took previously. My weighted blanket is helping with sleeping better and being less anxious, but the depression wants to just keep me in bed. I'm looking for a way to become self-employed, but I can't do it alone and I don't know who I can turn to for help. I hope I can afford to retire by age 65, though I'd love to reach that point at least a few years before.

I originally planned to wake up around 9:30 for a catering delivery today. I ended up being awakened at 8:30 by the doorbell. The community is replacing the asphalt and concrete in the parking area on my street, so I needed to move my car. I did the catering delivery and a few more DoorDash deliveries in Denver, then got my car's oil changed afterward. I'll be doing some more GrubHub deliveries tonight.

I'm doing another partial fill-in for the Rabbit Hole tonight. I made sure to get plenty of sleep last night so my voice (hopefully) doesn't sound tired when I do the show.
