Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Thrive to spite them

M doesn't have a boot for his foot. Well he has a slightly protective shoe. I'm thinking something more stable would help.

Toddson I'll remember about the box. One the couch I've been able to sue various pillows or stuffed animals that live on the couch to prop up the blanket. The giant stuffer teddy bear M got me several years ago has been great to use to prop up his foot or him and the first night I managed to wrap the arm for the bear around to drape the blanket over.

I bought some small Squishmallows on a whim and they were good to adjust the slope of the larger pillows.

I didn't do as good of a job with the bandage last night as I wanted. But M has an appointment at the VA for his anxiety and there is a drop in clinic and he is going to have them check his foot. He isn't optimistic about the appointment but he said the med that he got from the ER have helped hos anxiety and I said that is a good starting point . I wish I could go with him not in the actual appointment but just to be there for moral support.

The new ac is wonderful. It has a great feature where you can turn off the display light.. so less light at night.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm super light-sensitive when falling asleep, so that could make a difference to me! Mostly I just use a washcloth as a eyecover, though, but I have to have my nostrils unimpeded. It's really not neurotic, it's a physical requirement. sigh

Today we send happy birthday wishes to Aims! I hope the day is filled with joy and that the year to come includes being spoiled on a regular basis.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Boy, it's something to watch some of Trump's press conference from yesterday and then watch Walz and Harris speak. It's not even the insane lies and rambling. He just can't construct a complex sentence. He can't express a complex thought. The only thing he can do is superlatives. Bigger, better, worst, ever, history.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Empress Day!

Tim Walz's hot dish recipe. It's topped with tater tots.

Dude is just so... not Vance!

I am getting a massive amount of rain from Debbie. In the Adirondacks! I leave Florida in the summer to get away from this stuff. It being in the 60s is different though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Isn't all hot dish topped with tater tots? Or are there non-tot hot dishes?

So far Debby is being EXTREMELY WINDY and humid but not much rain. The wind is kicking around the trees to the point where my power keeps flickering, so really hoping we don't have an outage.

No idea about hot dishes, being originally from the south (first rule - if it doesn't move, fry it). Also being inundated by Debby - had to come in to work and got soaked to the skin (literally - bra and underpants soggy, shoes soaked). Had some dry things at work I could put on, but still not comfortable.
