We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

The immediate problem is that my mother's ankle/foot is arthritic, but apparently some of the old injuries and stuff are because her ankle has always kind of been Not Like The Others anyway, possibly from birth. She is wearing a boot on it right now and will get an orthotic thing eventually...not clear on what that means for us, although we are trying to get extra help to get through it...not exactly feeling great about any of that. But she was lucky to get right in, I suppose.

Our wings are not tired

That's a lot to have going on erika. I hope that both of you get some answers and some health. It frustrates me to no end how f'ed up access to proper healthcare is in this country.

That's a lot erikaj -- I'm senidng you both all kinds of good vibes.

We should be so lucky for Gaetz to resign in protest.

#ByeFelicia Agency folks always looked so surprised that I thought my brother, not the perfect solution by any stretch, was a more-likely backup than them. But there are things one just knows, and that was one. Even "'Cause I know," is not the best of the grown-lady answers, and I was hoping to be proven wrong, too. We're combining that with Divorce Xmas anyway.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oy. I just got a letter from the IRS telling me that I didn't report and pay taxes on $30,000 of unemployment income in 2021. I did not apply for nor receive any unemployment in 2021, as I was fully employed the entire year. I guess I get to add dealing with the Fed, the State, and credit bureaus to my to-do-list. And yet, laundry still needs to happen.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oy, indeed.

Oh no, Aurelia!! I hope it's an error and not that you got your identify stolen or something.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That happened to my sister - apparently it was thing during COVID. It was pretty easily resolved, as it was someone out of state. Hopefully this will be too.

Brenda, did she start by dealing with IDES?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr S woke up during the night and threw up. He seems to be fine now.
