I'm having a frustrating start to my morning, with work. Nothing seems to want to work right. I get past the issue(s) and that is creating another issue to deal with. And to make me even more annoyed, Amos is spending the morning meowing. He's been outside twice now (once with me literally tossing him out the door) and then comes back in a half hour or so later and starts up with the meowing again. Back out he just went. I'm not in the mood for all this and starting to think I must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, LOL.
It's looking to be a nice sunny day, at least. Blue skies and highs in the upper 40's. The upcoming weekend is up into the 50's. Every day I am hearing more and more birds chirping outside. I'm not really seeing them much yet, though.
Not much happened around here yesterday. Recently dh had me order some various stainless steel wall outlet cover plates to replace the plastic ones in the shop. Only one of the styles we ordered the holes were not drilled standard. They were almost 1/4" farther apart. I ordered them through Amazon and was able to contact the seller company via email and they have been replying back. I showed them by putting a ruler across one of the plates and sent the picture in the email. They think it was a bad production batch and are now sending out replacements. Keeping fingers crossed the next set will be the correct ones.
I spent the evening watching a podcast with a "sleep expert" scientist phd guy on. It was a long 2hr interview, but had lots of good information on how important sleep is. Part of his interview he talked about sleep and Alzheimer's and the possible correlation between poor sleep and getting Alzheimer's. Makes me wonder even more about my mom and why she may have gotten it. Obviously she was having sleep issues years before, because she started taking those PM meds with benadryl in them. When then in turn, long term use of those anticholinergic class of drugs is knows to cause dementia. Obviously taking those meds long term was NOT a good solution. I did ask my boss recently if she got herself off of those and she had finally seen a doctor and was trying something else to help her sleep.
It's been in the 60's here for the last two days. A big change from last week. I hope the rest of your day isn't as frustrating.
ReplyDeleteIt got down to single digit temperatures here in south central KY last week, and is 68 today. I'm here for the 68! Actually, I'm ready for much warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteI've read several things that refer to Alzheimer's as "Type 3" diabetes. That is has several of the same precursors. Insulin resistance is the big one. Keeping sugar intake down, and limiting carbs is a good way to fight insulin resistance.
There's a pretty interesting book, "Why We Get Sick," by Ben Bickman and he does a way better job of explaining it. There's another book - that I haven't read, but I follow the author on socials - The Alzheimer's Antidote, by Amy Berger.
