This is a bit different because I'm not complaining about my meds, I'm complaining how difficult in the last couple of months it's been to GET THEM.
1st, it was filling delays. They were either out, on order or some other excuse but it never was more than a couple days without. Supply chain issues. Now, it's getting worse. This month I've run out of Cardiac, Diabetes and HIV meds(the latter still hasn't been filled. "Backordered"). Thankfully, the Diabetes meds that were out were the oral so I could titrate with my Insulin.
Last month, after going through Withdrawal symptoms when my Lyrica was out I started weaning myself off it. I'm down to once a day and no more withdrawal. I'd been doin my BP meds every other day until it got filled. Now, it's been almost a week since I've been out of 2 of my HIV meds. 1st time since the late 90's I've missed ANY doses.
A positive situation is that my Partner of 30 yrs is in a nursing home and our last cat died of Cardiac insufficiency so no one depends on me. Well, I feed the neighbor cats but I'm pretty sure they're indoor/outdoor cats so they'll be ok when I'm gone.
I used to joke that when Chuck and the cats were gone I'd just go on Comfort Measures but it looks like it might not be a choice.
Sincerely,
Pat

Ahoy there, adventure gamers!

monkeyisland is a community for the beloved classic game series Monkey Island, featuring the comedic swashbuckling adventures of the improbably-named Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™. Anything about Monkey Island is fair game: your own fanworks (art, fic, videos, games, music, cosplay, memes/silliness, whatever), recs of others' fanworks, livestreams/let's-plays, discussions, news and articles, tips for messing about in the game resources or scripting, requests for hints, screenshots, all that good stuff. If Monkey Island is your ~~jam~~ ~~rum~~ rum and jam (it's an old pirate favorite, everybody knows that), then come on over and have a grog.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

So my Organisational October is going about as well as the September Stampede! How are things going for you? I hope everyone else is having a more successful month than I am and managing to keep on chipping away at that list of things that need doing. Tell us what's been going well, and feel free as well to talk about the less successful part of your month. What are the stumbling blocks in your life right now that are making things more difficult?

Always keep in your mind that if you have a bad day or week or month (or year in my case), the beauty of our bite-sizing community is that every day is a new day and you can start again today or tomorrow or when life permits. I have to keep reminding myself that just because I've had a run of bad days, I mustn't give up and call it quits, I just need to start with a little bit of getting things done today or tomorrow. These aren't new year's resolutions, it's a daily resolution and so every day we can have a fresh start and while we can be proud and celebrate if yesterday went well, we don't have to give up if it went badly.

So here's the daily plan - don't forget it's fine to tweak the suggestions to better work for you if something doesn't quite hit what your situation needs, you can skip a day, pick a different day, stick with a task from an earlier day that you need a bit longer to finish - it's all cool here!

This post will remain the place to comment until I next get chance to put up a post. I encourage you to tell us how you are getting on and to cheer on fellow posters.

( Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )

Hopefully there's enough information in the table to give you a general guide without being too restrictive - feel free to adapt the suggestions and change out days that don't feel relevant or aren't what you most need. Really importantly, PLEASE do not forget we are all about bite-sizing so we're not aiming to get the whole of a room done, we're looking to target a key area within a space or within a task to make progress on it - this is about starting the process and knowing that we can move towards our goal step by step - not in massive jumps when life, health & energy conspire!

Wishing you all a great weekend.
