This tiny quilt (32” x 48”) is officially my favorite thing I ever made 😊 It incorporates my love of scraps & color theory in a way that feels very ME. It was a very challenging puzzle I enjoyed. I will pursue this technique further! #QuiltSky

Same in Philly. Having lived there for a time during my time working at Harvard, I can assure you Waymos ain’t gonna work out in Boston either. They will be run off the roads and much worse.

Like, a driverless car, I assume, has to obey traffic rules? If you obey traffic rules in Boston you will be RUINED

Yeah- I remember being in a cab leaving the Boston Airport where there was this huge merge scrum with multiple lanes of cars - it was insane. I asked the taxi driver "how do you do this?" He replied, "Never make eye contact."

They don't tell you when you do your 8th grade report on #Jupiter that you'll spend the rest of your life reacting to Jupiter news like you've got some special connection. Like, Jupiter?! Oh, I went to school with her.

can’t use lane recognition if a “lane” is just the venn diagram of a state of mind and the space between the potholes.

Waymo made a weirdly cryptic announcement of "groundwork" laying in Boston & Sacramento.
Waymo has requested CPUC permission to expand to Sacramento. CPUC will prob ok it as fast as they can ink their rubber stamp, ie next voting meeting.
Massachusetts hasn't legalized uncrewed ADS yet, IIRC.

As a miserable, perimenopausal, Gen-Xer I’m gonna need some middle-aged affirmations on my menstrual products instead. Like “oh FFS, I thought this was over already” or “welp, that explains the rage eating” and “stop telling me it’s good to keep having periods!!”

Taking a break BEFORE I crash is the hardest lesson I’ve learned while #caregiving but after 8 years I’m getting pretty good at it. I’m normally a barrel-through-it kind of person & learning pacing was almost impossible. Stopping mid-stride, looking at the clock, making prudent choices about energy.

Mom had such a close-to-normal day, she even had a little dinner tonight, but I’m still on high alert. That #caregiver thing where you breathe shallow because you are listening.

Mom had another good night and seems much improved 😅
Mom slept pretty well last night, rested all day, was interested in watching a few tv programs but mostly low energy, low appetite. We are keeping her hydrated. #caregiving
The only thing is, she’s resting instead of joining us for dinner & it feels sad. My whole life revolves around her, has for 8 years. (And all the co-dependent ones before that too heh). Every night I wheel her to the kitchen & we listen to an audiobook while I make dinner. #caregiving

Mom rested all day, drank fluids, had a cup of yogurt. She has good color, no pain, no fever, no nausea. Breathing normally, calm, lucid. No idea how tonight will go but so far she’s doing well. Probably won’t want dinner but I’ll make sure she gets fluids.
