melcharThis week was a gut-punch, as a proudly uninformed public voted against sanity, safety & self-interest.
On a personal note, at today's doctor's appointment/check-up - I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I suppose it was inevitable. I also suppose that - with a history of asthma in the family** - also getting diagnosed with asthma was also inescapable. So now I have metformin & an albuterol inhaler added to the allergy meds, levothyroxine & topical gel for rosacea in my daily routine.
[** my parents both being alcoholic chain smokers from before I was born until they died likely was not good for my lungs***. Oddly, neither of them died of lung cancer or liver disease, although mom died last year of emphysema at 86.]
*** cleaning their multiple ashtrays every day DID inspire me to never smoke & I'm fortunate that I hate the taste of alcohol.
I'm rating this week as '1 star, would not recommend'.
