48 years ago TODAY, i woke up in the ICU of texas children’s hospital w/ t-1 diabetes and a lifetime of concern. all things considered, not doing too badly, but not from lack of effort by the republican party at the state AND federal level. VOTE early today & help me celebrate my personal victory🎉

just spent 15 minutes filtering one of the cats’ food…to end up throwing away about ¼ cup of powder 🐱🐈‍⬛

going to TWO No Kings Vote Early protests today…thankfully, fall decided to show up yesterday for these things 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

yesterday, i spent an hour and 40 minutes on the phone with four people to resolve an issue with the alarm system for the house. trying to fix issues that started at the beginning of September. they are sending a technician on Thursday to fix the problems (no charge) :::fingers crossed:::

mother received an email from her attorney at 9:15 am and forwarded it to me about an hour ago and berated me for not acknowledging it IMMEDIATELY. wtf? 🤬🤬🤬

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH…🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜

@johnmoe.bsky.social i am planning to return to the Twin Cities once my mother finally leaves this mortal coil, not sure when it will be. but this is my plan right now 😜🤪😜🤪😜

9:30 am and the television is on; it will remain so until about 2 am tomorrow. the volume is too loud for my brain, so not much will be accomplished by me today and she wonders why i cannot find a job. this is part of the reason, but only part 🤬🤬🤬🧠🧠🧠😜😜😜

it took me two days, a phone call to customer service, three payment attempts, and three times telling my bank that ALL of the charges made yesterday on my debit card were legitimately MINE. i WIN, i WIN, i WIN 🏆

🦁🎁🎉🎂 Happy birthday to Dayna Steele & the Mall of America & me 🎂🎉🎁🦁

and guess i need to learn how to link posts…EEK

benefits out of the funds. looking into an actual special needs trust and other alternatives. decisions, decisions, decisions 😜🦁😜🎉😜🎂😜

feeling a bit apprehensive about my birthday on Tuesday, but not for the reasons you might think. it’s not the added year, nor the inexorable advance toward my end. no, it’s the fact i will receive funds from a trust (no clue how much) and the taxes to be paid and how to get the most healthcare

“liberal sports media”…what is this supposed nonsense faux news (laura ingram) is whining about now?

front-line customer service: while i appreciate AND empathize about the work you do, when i say i want to speak with a supervisor/manager, the next thing i want to hear is “I will transfer your call IMMEDIATELY” thank you for listening to my concerns

i am EXHAUSTED regarding emails i have to DELETE because the messages are the same. it’s getting WORSE instead of BETTER every day that passes. i want MORE of the once per week messages for deleting quickly

Considering the doj is currently 0-17 on voter rolls and is currently appealing these results to eight circuits, anyone figuring this will eventually end up at the supreme court’s docket? Wouldn’t figure it happens before the end of the term, but it’s possible…

saw a wasp in my room tonight 🤬 and got the bug spray, but now i’m petrified of falling asleep, so guess i’m reading my library book 📖 🔦

two DIFFERENT noises waiting for dinner at 8:30 pm; this place sucks ROCKS

several dozen brassiere commercials was bad enough, but the “wagering platform” ones are even worse 🤬🤬🤬

can anyone explain why this gal would rather eat food off my fingers than from the clean dish it was put in? of course, she also eats plastic bags and carpet fibers, so perhaps she’s not the best judge of scents 😜😜😜

my maternal parental unit is literally loosing her mind and she doesn’t seem to be terribly concerned about this. i, however, am because i have no one else to help me with this, it’s not going to get better, and no matter what i do, it’s ALWAYS wrong. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

after the supreme court’s gutting of the VRA, faux news had the gall to use the process by which it was passed as a suggestion for passing the “save” america act without the need for filibuster and cloture, since it doesn’t have the votes needed for passage 🤬😜🤬😜🤬

had a thought last night that one of the lefty woke pundits should consider getting the rights for The Eagles “Lyin Eyes” plus said pundit could also quote Chico Marx and paraphrase the judge’s decision on the administration’s fight against transgender service people 😜😜💙💙😜😜

abhor saying ANYTHING positive about him, but thank goodness he keeps putting people in multiple positions and keeps the theft out of more hands, which will cut down on the investigation phase of this administration

wish i understood why the orange cat 🐱 turns her nose up on tuna, but will eat it eventually. granted it takes a while, but she eats it

hey, anyone have advice on how to deal with the combination of a hearing-impaired senior who will NOT use hearing aids and someone with horrible audio sensitivity? she’s making me nuts 😜😜😜

i also love how laura ingram is so clueless about Bruce Springsteen and how she misses the old days when “Born In The USA” made people proud of this country. SO clueless and tone deaf…

has scott baio done anything anybody has heard about since “Charles in Charge” in the 90s? faux news seems to be taking a page out of the America 250 playbook. 😜😜😜😜😜

exactly why does faux news think that China and other countries are financing left-wing protesters? why on earth would this be necessary?

i’s so confuzzled that the reason why no one’s won the runoff yet is because election day isn’t until tuesday…my brain 🧠 hurts 😜😜😜

at what point will Americans finally realize that the stock markets are NOT and never have been the US economy? that every time this administration brings it up, it’s just another lie (#5,443,275,891 or something like this) they keep pushing and another excuse for doing nothing for the people?

faux news: the state legislature should make the decision, but the people should vote on the issue (except when blue states do the latter, it’s wrong and even when blue states do the former,THAT’S wrong, too. meanwhile, red states do whatever they can to shut down blue voters with impunity 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

🤔🤔🤔 wouldn’t it be freaking hilarious if, even after all the folderol over the past year, the people overwhelmingly voted blue in the midterms and told the gop we just don’t want your party and its ridiculous ideas anymore? 🫏🫏🫏

still standing by this statement i hold dear: i would rather be insane than stupid. what about you?

Grace often spends time here while i breakfast…as soon as i go put my dishes into the dishwasher, she leaves.

Apparently, a LOT of people here need to be more familiar with Murc’s Law and figure out some BETTER ways to turn the situation around…

my scent triggers are: hot dogs, microwave popcorn, and as of today: toasted bread 🤢

ever since the state passed its voter ID law, i have used my passport as ID. and EVERY time, the person who takes it has no clue how its information is supposed to be read. it’s highly amusing to me that they are NOT better trained on passports, but there’s not much i can do about it

for months, i have unsuccessfully tried to purchase three tins of truffles from Monty Bojangles, can anyone in the UK 🇬🇧 help me with this? I will pay for the tins and shipping costs, of course. tins come in 2 sizes, either one works fine

she controls the remote, so we’re listening to LOUD commercials for no reason. why will she NOT wear her hearing aids? 🤬🤬🤬

she doesn’t want me to yell at her, but the television has “Patriots Day” on and she refuses to wear hearing aids, so her dinner is sitting on the table, getting cold #AnybodyHaveAdvice ?

trying to pay a medical bill…the site offers AmEx as a choice, but does NOT allow a 4-digit security code, which means the company does NOT accept AmEx for payment #BasicHumanStupidity

was putting groceries into the refrigerator when i accidentally pulled a half-eaten GLASS jar of sliced mushrooms onto the tile floor. she then proceeded to point out every tiny piece of glass, since her knees are shot, to me. never mind she left it on the front edge of the shelf for months…UGH

just found out cats twitch during rem sleep, and while the behavior is normal, it’s still disconcerting 🛏️

still need to find a job and get out of the house…UGH 😜😜😜
