Republicans wanting to talk about fixing health care premium increases a month into open enrollment, when prices are all but locked in, is about as serious as being concerned about RFK Jr.'s anti-vax crusade AFTER voting to make him the nation's top public health official.

So far I'm feeling a bit better today. Yesterday I was in my grief about my cat all day because I'm slowly washing and cleaning up a lot of her things, beds, blankets in prep to let the cats be upstairs again so hopefully they won't pee all over the place.

I'm starting to think about a goodwill run. I have so many nicer work clothes that I haven't worn since pandemic started and also gained some weight. I start getting anxiety around "maybe I will need/wear again" even though I live in sweats and t-shirts 98% of the time. But it's time I think. 😮💨
