greghousesgfI have to go get an ultrasound today and I talked to the lab guys on the phone and am getting blood work done tomorrow. I have a nasty feeling this is not going to turn out to be something minor.

Mar. 10th, 2026 04:06 pmgreghousesgfThey had me take X rays at the doctor and tomorrow I have to do an ultrasound and it's one of those deals where they starve you beforehand. Ugghh. At least Uber will pick me up and take me back home afterwards. I haven't heard back about the results of the X rays yet and I'm too tired to walk to the pharmacy to get the muscle relaxants.

Mar. 9th, 2026 03:38 pmgreghousesgfHad some Assam tea. For the past few days I've had this pain in my side that's really bothering me, I made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. I just hope whatever it is isn't something that is going to fuck up things to the degree that the business with my leg has. Walking and carrying things is just so fucking hard now. I had to do laundry, take out the garbage and go to the drugstore and pick up only a few things at the grocery and it wipes me out, and getting lots of groceries messes me up even more.

Mar. 8th, 2026 07:06 pmgreghousesgfHad an interesting and fun weekend. Two of my neighbors I like showed up to the apt bldg party, I hung out at some friends' new house Saturday and another friend of mine and I went to my favorite hero sandwich place for lunch and then went to the Japanese tea garden.

Mar. 6th, 2026 11:40 amgreghousesgfHaven't heard from L. in almost a week.
They're having another one of those deals in my bldg, might as well get some free food out of it. I notice the people in the bldg who I'm actually good friends with never go to these things. At least I am seeing some of my real friends this weekend.

Mar. 5th, 2026 01:39 pmgreghousesgfThe singer and piano player I heard last night were just great!
One thing last night that was not great was the entire electronic card payment system on Bart screwed up so nobody could put more money on those cards, and for those of you reading this who are not from the bay area, all the buses and stuff use those cards, not just Bart. I called their office this morning and the people I talked to weren't even aware there was a problem, so who knows when this is gonna get fixed, in the meantime I only have 2 dollars left on my card which isn't even enough to get on the damn bus.

One last 'Spring Ahead' change for BC
Mar. 2nd, 2026 06:38 pmxinas_islandOmG! After the time shift on March 8th, BC will no longer do time changes. We will for ever be at Daylight Savings Time. 💖
Other than having this final time shift on March 8th to adapt to, that'll be it!
Most of BC is going in to a future that has no more time change created confusion fatigue, mental fatigue, etc.
The cats will be so happy, and medicine times won't be confusing right after a time shift any longer. 🥳

"Quick Facts:
Recent actions from the U.S. have shifted how B.C. approaches decisions that merit alignment, including on time zones. Making this change now reflects the current preferences and needs of British Columbians, and helps ensure the province is well-positioned to thrive, even when circumstances across the border evolve."

"Quick Facts:
- B.C.’s new time zone, Pacific time, will be aligned with the Yukon year round.
- From November until March annually, Pacific time will match Alberta and other regions observing mountain standard time.
- From March until November every year, Pacific time will align with California, Washington, Oregon and other Pacific daylight time jurisdictions.
- Neighbour jurisdictions like Washington, Oregon and California are all in the process of creating or enacting similar legislation."

Mar. 2nd, 2026 08:49 amgreghousesgfSome idiot pulled the fire alarm at about 5 this morning so I have a headache. Today I have to reestablish my credit card info with my internet and phone accounts, pay my rent, make an appointment regarding the damn rent raise and take out the garbage. It's a little too early right now to do any of that.

Mar. 1st, 2026 03:41 pmgreghousesgfFinally got my new credit card!
Had a great time with my friends at dinner last night except when I was trying to leave the restaurant and some man would not move his baby out of the way, it was a very narrow passage between two tables and I do not think he should be letting the baby block it like that.
Apparently at about 5 this morning I was dead asleep when L. texted me asking me to call before going over to their house. I called her a little after one in the afternoon and she never answered the phone so I assumed she was still asleep (I hadn't even known in advance that she was coming back today) and left a message and didn't go to her house. I have not heard back from her.

Feb. 27th, 2026 11:50 amgreghousesgfThey're spraying for roaches in my apt Tuesday. I don't have roaches, this is preventative. I'm glad they let me know in advance, I don't want the bug guy to come barging in when I'm in the bathroom or something.
Looking forward to tonight, I'm going out for dinner with friends.
STILL NO NEW CREDIT CARD YET.
