My son (18) tried to talk to my husband about Israel and Iran. My husband doesn't want to hear anything about it. I just realized how much my husband has been trying to avoid hearing news so he can keep his inner peace. #KeepYourInnerPeace

Going to attempt a mall trip today. Taking the 18 year old with Munchichi (13) and me, forcing him to help with our girls day. This is how girl's days work when Mom is disabled and doesn't know when things might go goofy. #POTS #ChronicIllness #NEISVoid

Just found this hashtag and it fits perfectly. Nothing I have will kill me, just make my life miserable for many years to come. #NEISVoid

I really think I am going to tell the hematologist to just schedule the full body scan and bone marrow biopsy. Maybe there will be enough incidental findings I can stop being an enigma. #chronicillness

Aside for being blind without my contacts, these glaucoma eye drops sting.. I am going to order glasses tomorrow, but I have always hated wearing them. I can't find my old glasses.. #glaucoma

Once upon a time, the dream was to retire to the middle of nowhere, somewhere off the grid. What I would give to just do it now.. I would give up TV, including Jeopardy, to just go live a quiet life and just read..

The only really good thing about my recent disability, my son may get more help for college. With a salary cut to 67% of what I was making, we definitely make less than the 120k cap for parental income. Now to prove it to the UT financial aid office.

I freely admit my responses on Bluesky are probably more aggressive than I usually am. Had my hopes dashed that we figured me out. The answer would have sucked for me eventually, but it would have been an answer. Still up in the air and facing a bone marrow biopsy and full body CT scan.

Ladies - Keep checking on your voter registration to make sure you are registered with your current name. READ the SAVE Act as it stands Feb 2026. You might be surprised by what people AREN'T talking about. States retain the power in how to register voters and reconcile name changes.

I did it. I went on a solo road trip to Corpus. Felt great for a couple days. Then slowly, my leg and hip started being assholes.. came home a day early. First three hours, no pain, last 4 hours, it was counting down the time to home. Got home, got out of car, leg didn't want to work for a min.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The UK has decided to stop playing.

I need ideas. yesterday, there was something different. It was the most normal day I have had since being on Long Term Disability. I can't figure out why or what was different that made it feel like those days I wasn't well, but I would have made it through a shift from my job. #ChronicIllness

7pm today, I realized today almost felt like a NORMAL day before the LTD. I got up and worked on personal computer stuff for hours. Why, oh why, on a day that felt almost normal, do I find myself still awake at 5am?? I only felt extremely tired for an hour after taking my pm meds.

My criticism is a 1A right. I'm already in FB jail waiting for my posts to be reviewed after making a fecetious statement regarding meth. Bet they are going to see my multiple reposts of what really happened to Alex Pretti to remove my account.

I had a series of dreams today. The first set included two friends who are dead, one who unalived herself and one who was a free-spirit and homeless, and she passed due to heat stroke in Aug 24 after the psych facility she was in released her in the middle of a massive heat wave. These were

I am now wearing a size 16. I haven't worn a size 16 in 30 years. Giving the size 24s to the Munchichi to do with as she pleases..

Breaking down and finally going to buy a second pair of jeans. My only pair are size 18 and the pair before that were size 24. Now, I'm going to try on size 16. Why is it so hard to actually go shopping for myself.

I will say that the "controversy" of casting in Wuthering Heights got Baby Girl (13) to buy a copy of the book and she is actually reading it. So far her only critique is "I prefer modern fiction." She is having issues with the venacular, saying it's like reading Shakespeare,which she hasn't done.

Valentine's day love in our house.. when I fall asleep unintentionally, my husband lets me sleep until my body tells me it is time to wake up with no interruptions to ask what we should make for dinner. He might tell me when dinner is ready, but he's not going to force me to wake up.

I got put in FB jail for making a joke. I'm in a group where we give terrible advice. I told someone who was saying docs don't want to help their mental health "to make friends with the voices in their head and that I hear meth is good for mental health." Apparently I am promoting drug sales.

Youngest son got accepted to UT and A&M so far. And UT wasn't a "top 6%" automatic admittance. I told that boy he could do it!!

Why specify "all" my children? Did they leave someone else's child behind? Did they leave a nanny? Or as my son said "I left with all the children I paid for."

It's tax refund time. If you happen to be getting one, please consider helping out. If not, please share the GoFundMe to help reach more people who can.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Call me crazy, but the best DC comic films are and will always be RED and RED2.

Tax planning is a great way to prevent giving the government interest free loans through your withholdings. It may be fun to get a huge refund, but wouldn't you rather save and get interest on your own money?

For anyone who thinks not filing or paying your taxes is a good way to protest: 1. If you have withholdings taken out of your paycheck, you have already paid your taxes,maybe even more than you owed, hence the refund. 2. Not filing your return deliberately prevents the statute of limitations for

Timeline cleanse Happy Days!! My family on the right.. I really just noticed 3 of my kids and my grandson have my smile.

Haha! The kids have to go back to school tomorrow!!

And the US is back to bullying allies.. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I definitely don't feel fine.. but it is time I had some time alone..

If you have a port, why won't docs offices just use it? Watched my vein disappear from the needle as they tried to stick it. Stuck me only 2xs THIS time. A sign says it wastes time to draw labs from the port. I just spent .5 hrs 4 labs 2 b drawn from the port anyway. #chronicillness

And now the new year insurance fight begins again. Yes, with a UTI that won't go away, urologists should test for yeast. I've been on 4 different antibiotics this UTI, of course they need to test for yeast. But insurance doesn't like the coding they used so they denied the test. #chronicillness

let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.

Baby Girl showed me preliminary sketches of some characters she is creating for a teen high school comic.. the artwork is amazing (not biased at all).. will steal photos to post when she gives me permission.. she keeps asking me if she should be XYZ when she grows up.. I just want her happy..

I don't have enough followers to get the message out to many, and I am sure European journalists have read the same thing I have, but can we tell Denmark to get ready because the insane person elected to lead our country is truly stupid enough to try to take Greenland..

Bombadil (2025)

I need a list of movies and TV shows to avoid right now because they are too close to real life. I know I won't be rewatching Years and Years by Russell T Davies for a while.

Finally seeing The Life of Chuck.. and I can't eat because I am too into it. Dinner is in the fridge until later..

First world problems.. Pluckers is stingy with their ranch dressing.. even when you pay for more to be delivered, they never send it. It's the only ranch dressing in the world I like, that I would pay extra to have more.. it's all a ploy to get me into their restaurants, isn't it?

This could affect the filing date of paper filed tax returns if they are sent on the deadline date without sending them certified mail.

I want to thank the 1942 To Be or Not to Be for giving us Mel Brook's version of To Be or Not to Be. I prefer Mel Brook's version, because I love him and Anne Bamcroft acting together, but that is just personal preference.
