Yep, right leg, (and yes, broken and dislocated) so no driving. If it were the left leg I at least wouldn't be freaking out about the cost of millions of uber rides (like whenever I start PT—can't get friends to drive me to and from there all the time, so...$$). (Also hi, greetings from "I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom but I'm in pain so can't fall back asleep. Took one of my few precious remaining opioids and am hoping to fall back asleep when that kicks in. They did give me a few more but weren't happy about it. I'm like screw you, docs, you're not the ones in pain)

I hope sound sleep happened, meara. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.
Tramp is totally unhinged and dangerous. I wish Twitter would delete his account. Well, I have a long wish list for him, but at the moment that is at the top.

That sucks, meara. I hope you'll a) have a drastic reduction in pain soon and b) find a lower-cost transportation alternative.

In the much more fun department, I bought this big popcorn making machine to give out bags of popcorn to the kids (and adults) this Halloween. [link] We get a lot of kids and I live in a very social neighborhood. I got 200 little paper bags. The challenge will be keeping ahead of the crowd, but I'll start early. The reviews on the popcorn packs say it is really the super tasty artery clogging movie theater stuff. So, I'm excited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So jealous, Laura! I want one of those poppers. Actually, I tried to buy a tabletop version on Nextdoor semi-recently, but was too late.

Hello, hello!!
I'm popping in to reveal an anxiety I don't like to talk about on "big" social media.
This bomb thing? Being sent to Biden in DE today?
My kid goes to the same h.s. as the Biden grandkids. There's a room for USSS at their h.s., and I am actually kind of freaked out about all this this morning. Because, as we can clearly see, people are CRAZY.

{{Strix}} It is very scary. These people are insane and the POS in the White House encourages and loves it.
I do however have a huge amount of confidence in the systems that have done a wonderful job of finding all these devices BEFORE they exploded. I expect they will find the perpetrator(s) very quickly. The FBI and other parties actually do a good job.

Yeah, realistically, I know that school is probably not a target, all other bombs have been direct attacks on specific targets themselves.
But it's still freaky AF. This is...lunacy.

We're on the wrong timeline.
