Good news/bad news: my friend is supposed to have her surgery the day after Thanksgiving so still will plan to be in Palm Springs and recover poolside! Bad news is that they told her they want to do weekly chemo for 8 weeks and then every three weeks for a year. Dang. Our trip in January is definitely off, but I’m not too fussed about that, especially if we can get airline credits back (fingers crossed).
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

The Gaetz nomination is kaput.
Tiny victories...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Thank fucking god.
Although I can't imagine the next nominee will be any less horrific.

I'm guessing Ken Paxton.

Ugh maybe it was all a ruse to make us grateful for whoever it is being less bad than Gaetz but still awful? I hate this timeline.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I say no takebacks on his resignation from Congress.

Sadly, he doesn't have to take it back. He resigned from the 118th Congress. Although he said at the time he wouldn't take his seat in the 119th, nothing technically prevents him from doing so.

Timelies all!
Today we had our usual pre-Thanksgiving potluck. It was also a retirement party for my supervisor.(that part was a surprise) Way too much food because many people other than those in our group were invited.
Mr. S was admitted to the residential treatment center today, going right from the in-patient behavioral unit he had been in for the last few weeks. Lets hope this helps him get stabilized.
