Usually I start cleaning in the living room and run out of steam before getting to the kids’ room… today I started cleaning in the kids’ room and after I finished they both went in and fine tuned my work :)

Autistic child speaking to her autistic sibling and possibly autistic parent : “That was a joke, did you hear the joke?” … parent and sibling look confused, “no”… first child then says, “I don’t know why I was saying that, so I thought maybe it was a joke”… we all shrug. (Lol)

The post holiday COVID (and RSV) spikes are happening now… and the common cold (rhinovirus) is in decline… so please test if you are sick… the chances of it being “just a cold” are lessening now.

I really wish I had the kind of disposible income that would allow me to buy things that people need. It’s hard to see someone’s needs go unmet… I’m jealous of people who have money to sit on… Money can do so much… I wish less people hoarded it. If you have extra money I can help you spend it.

Even kids decodable readers have casual police brutality! This is from Fun Tales. Now I know I’ve got to pre-read this stuff too.

Merry Christmas! The piles are bigger than I intended lol… I did a lot of self care shopping in the past two weeks. The kids were so happy with everything they got :) In their piles are hand-me-downs, thrifted gifts, handmade gifts, and some new gifts too. I really like gifting second hand stuff.

It’s been a while since I’ve cleaned. I did a bit a few days ago, but not enough to get our tree to decorate. And now we are ready to deck the halls. #cleaninginspiration #cleanwithme

We haven’t had a working dryer for the last four years. And recently someone was kind enough to fix it for us for free, materials and all! And it feels like such a luxury to use it! Thank you universe for gifting me with kind people.

Telehealth Will Die In 3 Weeks Without Congressional Action
Urgent action is needed to pass the Telehealth Modernization Act before it expires, ending telemedicine on Dec. 31. This would be devastating for disabled and rural patients.
