Things haven't really improved, at all. I'm still having to take a daily Klonopin to ward off disturbing dreams or nightmares. I can go a day or two without it but by the 3rd day I can feel my chest getting tight and my worry meter spiking.

My appetite is no better. A whole day's consumption is about what I used to eat at one meal. I really need to find a belt because it felt like my jeans were going to slide down when I was shopping, the other day.

I have accepted an invite to go to a ZZ Top concert, next week. It's being held at the Capitol Theater in Flint. It's been around since 1928 and is a visual delight. I went to a lot of movies at the Capitol. It's been refurbished but not changed, which is great. I haven't been to a concert in YEARS so this will be a good test for me.

I'm barely paying any attention to the news but occasional articles pop up on social media and I get even more disheartened.

This is definitely not how I anticipated spending my 'golden years'.
