Admissions Day 2024

Another no-holiday holiday has come to pass with all the usual inconveniences. This is Fuck It Friday (FIF) - Special Statehood Edition. Sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone. Fuck it!

There have been no major cardiac events, only the usual skipped (or delayed) heartbeats. No pattern can be ascertained. The assumption now is that chronic insomnia, stress, anxiety, and dehydration are the causes. Diet (which is already bland) is most likely not implicated. Fuck it!

The minor changes in diet as described in the previous Notes post has resulted in a two-pound weight loss so far, one more pound to go! Two servings of oatmeal now suffice as breakfast at the fast food joint in town. Yeah, oatmeal is senior citizen fare for sure. Fuck it!

Mitigations for stress, melancholia, and anxiety are undetermined at this time. The Smiling Mind “app” was installed and perused. Unfortunately, the “app” is made up almost entirely of audio sessions. There’s also a mood tracker and some kind of associated journal, both of which are already included in iOS on the iPhone (as well as the Watch Series 9). The “app” was removed upon discovery that the Smiling Mind site has a fully functioning equivalent. Clearly, the aforementioned psychological issues must be addressed, or the probability of more cardiac events will remain high. Fuck it!

An appointment was made for next week at the Waikiki Health Center Ohua Clinic in Waikiki (as opposed to the Makahiki Clinic). The appointment is classified as the “Medicare Annual Wellness Visit.” The Watch Series 9 EKG printouts will be brought along for discussion with the attending physician. However, there is no desire to return to the cardiologist, even if recommended. Fuck it!

Given the state of personal affairs, the need to meticulously track expenditures and exploit all discounts is moot. A “keel over” event could occur at any moment. The one-and-only credit card will be used without abandon. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa! Fuck it!

Face mask usage by local residents is still around 20 percent. Nauseating, actually. With the new monkeypox hoax ramping up, face mask usage is likely to increase. Fuck it!

Addendum: A chance encounter with Lori while walking back from the International Marketplace this evening allowed for the timely divestiture of the old AirPods Pro 2 and few consumables.

Miscellany: At the gym a few days ago, fellow senior citizen, Bob, mentioned that the heart monitor did not reveal any heart problems. His cardiologist believes that caffeine overdose may have been the source of Bob’s “brush with death.” Bob has apparently consumed several large cups of coffee prior to the incident.

Note: Rank-and-file peons in empire should immediately use the Pentester site to discover if any personal data was part of the National Public Data breach. If so, initiate a credit report freeze with all three credit bureaus immediately.
