Timelies all!

I'm sorry you're having a sucky week, sj.

Nothing much going on here. The cats are wrestling in the bathtub again.(Not a sentence you hear often)

Can relate a little to that suck, sj. Wish I had a good answer or something beyond the Nora Ephron "it's all copy," thing.

Thanks, everyone. Yes, the no food and no therapy was definitely not helping.

It never does. I spent way too much time on "batting practice" on a colleague's facebook page yesterday. I shouldn't get so involved in governor's races where I am not, but there is a family connection to Wisconsin, memories and whatnot, and it doesn't take much to activate "giving a fuck when it's not my turn" anyway, especially when one's hundred-year-old thoughts on poverty are summed up with "Well, if you're not *lazy*. I obviously had to show them how not lazy I am, and also how sad I was not to be hanging out with their mothers who were probably more fun and accepting overall.(Some remarks just don't deserve more attention than that...they really don't. Which is not what I expected social media, let alone meeting one of my heroes, to teach me, but it did. I don't get as angry when I do that, anymore. "Your mama" keeps my heart out of it.) It was a worthy effort. At the same time, I'm glad it's not the last thing I ever did. Right?

sj, this week using a walker to get around the apartment is reminding me a little too viscerally of all the bullshit the disabled people in my life have to deal with day in and day out. I say it's a wonder nobody's gone homicidal over it.

Solidarity and love, now and always.

Thanks Karl. I appreciate that. I have my car back today. The rain is trying to kill me, but at least I have my rescheduled therapy appointment and a coffee.

It sounds like a better start to the day, sj. The universe needs to back off.

Rainy and chilly here. Long pants day and sweater day.

Two weeks ago my shopping cart assaulted me in the parking lot while unloading my groceries slamming into my toe. Finally, last night I got most of the toenail removed. Been soaking with epsom salt and slathering with antibiotic gel since it got infected too. Although it still doesn't look great at least it doesn't hurt anymore.

Bodies be annoying.

When we do feel homicidal, we probably turn it on us, Karl.(Bringing the room up, as is my habit, but as the kids say "IYKYK". )Much as there is part of me that might love the thought of, like, veterans on mobility scooters cornering Andy Biggs in a dark alley and saying "Your money or your life." we probably couldn't put that posse together, Andy Biggs wouldn't have a political career if he didn't win the lottery, though. he has some damn nerve talking about bootstrapping anything.

An abundance of happy birthday wishes for Shir today! I hope you are having a good day surrounded by love and laughter. May this year bring all you hope for and more.

Happy birthday, Shir!!! Hope it’s a good one. You’ve been on my mind.
