The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

Okay today I'm applying to jobs, lighting up my son's surgeon if they don't call me back, taking the girl to school for a class, and gonna work on my next post. What are you doing ? #writing #jobhunt #losingmymind

I just realized that for the past 50 something years I thought that name of the movie was Rooster Cockburn and seriously I have laughed too hard about this. I had to tell someone.
I guess Rooster Cockburn would be a very different movie....

Every day I just deal with the crushing stress of being me without the right words to express all the shit I deal with and I think it's going to kill me. I really do. Special needs parenting is not for the weak I tell you what

My first time taking Tamiflu. Stupid flu. Stupid virus.

Do I get any magical powers from it.

I feel like I may just collapse under the weight of my life. How can one life be so chaotic? What bad energy am I burning off from a past life? I just wanna sleep for like four days. I don’t know what to do anymore…I’m tired you guys.

I went to my new cardiologist today. I found out that my pacemaker is now officially pacing my heart 100%, so I guess I’m a battery powered zombie now.
I’m glad I have it, but it feels pretty disconcerting really.

When you have a special needs child who is also
Violent at times, it’s a special kind of hell.

Here is a weird thing, I got about 50 or more cookbooks- a lady had collected them all her life. They are adorable so many are from local clubs, the sort that is like a little fundraiser.
Now I don’t know what to do with them but I would love to think of a way to preserve what is in them!

I’m still deep in the unplanned tooth extraction recovery. I hate that this surprised me like this and that it just ate up my weekend. I keep having good ideas to write about and then they fade away which is probs my pain meds. Probably not good ideas anyway, eh?

Today I went to have a crown put back and ended up having an emergency extraction and bone graft so that’s my Friday sorted.
