It was - wow.

I am googling and wow

Eta so much wow! I am needing to click on several articles on different topics to get it all!

I'm still way behind, but I'm given to understand that Ted Cruz will be even more of a raging trash fire. I don't know if I can watch.

(eta: But, really, how much *more* of a trash fire can you be than openly avowing that you'd be happy to see prisoners of war die without due process?)

I'm just following the news about what happens because I can't handle watching it. It makes my all -- flames, flames on the side of my face.

This has been a week. And it's Tuesday. Scrappy to the vet yesterday, I had to go to Spartanburg (an hour away) for MRI. Matthew drove me and the MRI was ...an experience. And then we came back. Tomorrow Matthew & I are driving up to Brevard for my emergency dentist appointment on Thursday. I was supposed to pick up magazines from someone yesterday and got the time all wrong (got them from her today). And yesterday there was an issue with worker's comp and prescriptions and so I was in CVS way longer than I wanted to be.

I still have to call the HSA company and try to get my password situation dealt with. I can't remember it and they only have my old phone number and if I don't hear from the physical therapy place by tomorrow I need to call worker's comp and follow up.

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something. Oh, M's mom made salmon patties for dinner which is great for them but I have a hard time with the smell (even fresh salmon is an issue for me) so now I'm trying to wait out for the smell to die down some before I go in the kitchen.

I feel like the GOP is taking all their frustrations over not being able to run everything and how the Russia invasion of Ukraine is not doing them any favors out on this confirmation hearing and so that's why they are all acting like a bunch of Karens who are mad that another store so now they are taking it out on you because it's easy.

Timelies all!

Not watching the hearings because I'm already stressed out, and I don't need to add to it.

- and that's a second realtor letting me know 10 minutes before the call that they need to reschedule. WTAF?

Here's an excellent watch & post thread by Madiba Dennie of the Brennan Center for Justice's Democracy Program, an attorney and Bitch Media columnist for anyone who wants the gist without having to endure the nauseous details.

I just saw on Twitter that Sen Hirono went through all the GOP appointed judges who have sentenced child porn defendants below guidelines.

And asked Jackson if she had ever been accused of sexual assault or settled a sexual assault case.

Bizarre, amyparker! WTH, realtors? You know who you need, that nice couple from Santa Clarita. They might eat your brains but they will keep their appointments.
