Microbiologist, knitter, reader, dog lover. Resist today’s GOP, trump for prison. COVID is real, vaccinate and mask. RFK Jr will kill more people than Trump did.

Give me all the coffee!

An infant in New Mexico has just died from listeria.

Public health officials think it is because the mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.

I can imagine this family’s pain.
Please, please don’t drink raw milk. It is of no benefit whatsoever.
New Mexico warns against consuming raw milk after newborn dies from listeria
While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can't pinpoint the baby's exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother's drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago.

The science is clear: vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. The NIH Director admits it. Why won’t RFK, Jr.?

I paid $200 to get the cars dug out from the snow.

Today, the city came through again and filled the spot for my car. There is literally no place for me to park on our street.

So far, no luck finding someone to dig us out again.

On my way home from work, I saw a number of people trying to dig out from inches of ice. One was using an axe, one a pick. A truck with a plow was skating over the top of the ice.

Not an easy storm to recover from. #snow #fern

Found someone to dig our cars out but he got stuck getting up the hill. I’m not sorry. If the hills are that bad, I don’t want to go out. #fern #snow

Well, the snow has started. The deck is covered - hope it blows out to the Atlantic quickly! #snow #fern

Can confirm the increased numbers of winter viruses.

I hope you stay negative and your hubs recovers quickly.
MASK UP! Lots of virus out there - RSV and flu as well as covid. My husband tested positive for covid yesterday. I'm still negative. Take care of yourself and others around you.

Started work at 0630 this morning. I logged onto my first teams meeting at 0900. Went from teams meeting to teams meeting without break until 1659. My brain hurts. #work #teams

I realized today that I kiss the dogs more often than I kiss my husband. To be fair, hubs doesn’t rest his chin on my knee every time I move to stand up. #dogs

If you’re like me and have a republican congressman today is the day you tell him how you feel.
I am sure mine is tired of hearing from me.
Here are some perfect words for them.

I'm on the computer at least 10 hrs a day and I knit at least 2-3 hrs every evening. I think it's caught up with me and I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand.

My annual physical is tomorrow so hoping I can get a referral.

I've fallen in love w/ this hockey podcast. Three straight guys analyzing a gay romance in such a compassionate, thoughtful way all in a sea of NSFW hockey-bro banter. Just incredible.
