Yeah, Cindy. I that's him. We're mutuals...and I saw his replies, but couldn't find them in the morass that is twitter.

Thanks, Sue.

And Dana, thanks for reminding me I haven't had my blueberry pie breakfast, yet.

Dr. Telemedicine appt today. Nothing going on, just a 3 month follow-up since I am a new patient. Have a plan for the next month to get blood work done, follow up with her again, but in office, to go over results and check blood pressure. Get back on to trying to find a therapist.

I was completely honest with her, I would be shocked if my cholesterol or blood pressure were any better. My anxiety and mental health are not any better and on many days are worse. I am doing the bare minimum, but I have no feelings of self-harm. I did have to admit that I have had feeling of wanting to harm others, but do not have the energy or wherewithal to follow-through on that, so violent idea, but lazy.

Guess who doesn't want to work today?!?@? It's ME!!!!

I emptied one box yesterday and filled one with exercise stuff and stored it under bed in this room, so I got rid of two boxes from the open floor. Not bad and I feel much better about being in this room.

I have a LOT of stuff from old vacations. Not sure what to do with it. Scrapbooks? I had once started to sort things into various nice boxes per vacation, but I don't think a bunch of boxes just in closets or on shelves makes any sense. I have started pulling out any and all postcards as I find them and am using them or framing them now. I guess the rest I should either photograph and make virtual scrapbooks or just toss. - Talking it out helps - lookie there

Is this not Gud? [link]

Oh, yes. Thank you. My mistake, then - I'm sorry. Looks like the account I referred to is an old account of his, had no idea he has another account.

I am in DC in one of the spots (not Capitol Hill) where the groups were gathering. I was told to go home around noon on Tuesday and stay home Wednesday and Thursday. I've been checking outside my office and there are quite a lot of police cars out there. No way I'd go anywhere near the Capitol.

With the people who invaded the Capitol being averse to wearing masks, I understand they're being reported ... several have lost their jobs. Five people died - one was the woman who was shot, one was the Capitol police officer who was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher and later went back to his office and another was a man who posed waving a couple of long guns in front of his Christmas tree ... and is being eulogized as a good family man.

I can't help wondering - think anyone's going to go to felony murder charges?

I will honestly be SHOCKED if anyone is charged with more than trespassing or similar. Happy to be wrong, but I don;t think it will happen.

I also hope that enough of the public continues to follow the arrests and charges and pressures prosecution at higher levels.

Oh, yes. Thank you. My mistake, then - I'm sorry. Looks like the account I referred to is an old account of his, had no idea he has another account.

Shir, it's so hard to keep track of people on every platform. I wouldn't have seen the account I found, had I not been in the algorithm's thrall, looking to see who it suggested.

Glad you are ok, Toddson!

I don't really expect murder charges but maybe I will be proved wrong

Go msbelle!

Also glad to hear Gud has been spotted recently on Twitter, that makes me feel better about not seeing him here. Hope he is doing ok.

I have my weekly Friday at 12:30 standing meeting today and I think seeing it on my calendar is more irritating than actually attending it is. It's not like I actually take a lunch most days, but to know I can't is just galling.

Israel and vaccines: on the one hand, of course I'm thrilled with the vaccination rates here, their availability and supply. My mom and sister (medical staff at a hospital) are vaccinated with the 1st shot (my dad is still a denier), most of the over 60 year olds and at risk are vaccinated as well with the 1st shot. It feels like a miracle. On the other hand, so many aspects are being mishandled because vaccination isn't everything in battling Covid (we are now on our third lockdown because the government is in political lockdown and can't activate any other mean, some populations aren't getting the vaccines en masse because politics is terrible - teachers, prisoners, the Occupied Territories, and no business plan or relief to business owners). On top of that, it was published today that we got the vaccines so fast because the government agreed to give Pfizer data about those who get the vaccines. It's important to receive that data, sure, but it looks like it was done mostly as part of Netanyahu's re-election campaign (yeah, we got another round, on March 23rd). His current promise is to get most of the population vaccinated by the end of March. And since the agreement with Pfizer is not public, I am wondering what is in it that got us the almost-too-good-to-be-true scenario. I trust the science and vaccines, it's Netanyahu I'm worried about.
