Well I came into a stop work order on the government contract I’m working on. Nobody knows wtf is up.
I buried my head yesterday, but I’m starting to get caught up on what’s in motion while trying to hatch strategies that go beyond doomscrolling (now with extra doom!).
All the same.
Job~ma sent, Cash.
I'm off to get my left eye done to match the right one. I would recount the ordeal that has prevented me from getting the right drops in a timely manner, but it is too lengthy. I'll just have to get them directly from the doctor again since communication with the pharmacy seems to be impossible. (5 tries, no luck)
I will undoubtedly disappear from screens again as I acclimate to new bright and vivid vision again on the other side.
The only news I get is from Borowitz and late-night comics. There are newsletters I skim. I turned off all of the alerts for the sake of sanity. It is just too overwhelming.
I do have reblogs turned off
Omg thank you!! Did not realize that as a thing you could do!
Good luck Laura!!
I was going to say how do I make sure my retirement isn’t invested in shitty trump coin but probably if it fails it’ll somehow bring down the economy and we will be on the hook to rescue the banks anyway or some shit. I am feeling so pessimistic.
Thanks for the well-wishes; my stomach and I are feeling much better today!
Job~ma to Mr. Cash!
Something stood out to me from Hec's quote:
hopes we had for the Trump presidency
I thought to myself, "Someone had hopes? That's adorable."
Eye~ma, Laura! (Just realized she probably won't see this. Oh well, I always say that sending out good energy is a good thing no matter what the form. (Hence, as a Christian, being OK with Wiccan friends doing spellwork for my healing - I take the good intentions in the form they are offered).
Travel~ma, Hec!
Geez, Steph, that's literally horrifying. Living in California, even in a red-tinted city, I am mostly insulated from that kind of stuff. I was literally frightened when I read your post.
Alex's passport is supposedly now on the way and should be here by the end of the week. I won't truly celebrate till it arrives, but at least it's been issued.
Whatever y'all do don't go to the white house site, the main page.... It will just enrage you. A lot of people are saying the Constitution and other things are gone but it looks like part of the rebranding of the site.
It snowed a tiny bit here but Tallahassee, where Dad lives is supposed to get 2-3 inches ... This winter is just wild.
I got a pile of mail built up, which probably includes my updated driver's license. I tried to buy Sudafed today, and the system wouldn't accept my temporary license. So, since I had a retired priest with me (really, he's a resident who needed stuff from CVS) I asked if it was okay for him to buy it for me if I gave him the money.
Then it occurred to me that the pharmacist might have a problem with our transaction . No, he said, it's not my business what he does with it.
I'm certain I never imagined I'd have to get a priest to keep my sinuses clear.

My friend in NOLA said she has 8 inches in her yard!
