Overlooking the Plank to Pull the Speck

Tuesday check-in. Time seems so fleeting; I'm so tired all the time and get so little done. I go to the dr to discuss different thyroid options. I sense that it's dangerously low and yet my response to the recent synthroid nearly killed me outright. Hopefully (prayerfully), I have other pharmaceutical options with which I can move forward. At this rate, I'm quite worried that I'll not see fifty.

The neighbor's had their electricity turned off again today--it's like the 12th time in just as many months. It's none of my business except we share a well--the electricity to run the pump for the well is on their electrical system. Thus, when they get their power cut off, it results in our water also being turned off.
