Changed my icon because I believe in Sesame Street and to show how old I really am. Also, the new sleep specialist is awesome. That's life, how have you been?

Things I did last week:
Had some really good soup
Had a couple of naps
Petted the cat several times
Looked into the abyss of time
Spent time on hold with my local pharmacy about my sleep medication refill
Listened to music
Wrote things down
Erased most of those things
Applied for jobs
Had more naps

your president:

"[DO] not recommend

Charles Koch
'Dumb as a Rock’ John Bolton
‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley
Mike Pence
Warmongers Dick Cheney
and his Psycho daughter Liz
Mitt Romney
Paul Ryan
Mark Milley
James Mattis
Mark Yesper

or any of the other people suffering from
Trump Derangement Syndrome"

Annoying thing: when your sleep specialist closes and you have to find a new one or you will literally Get None Sleep Ever Again.

Oh goody. Because I just love breaking in new doctors.

So today I found out that a friend of the family was banned from Targets in TN for ... wait for it ... stealing a bookcase.
How can you do this? How can you steal a bookcase? Is this one of those 'whoopsie, I forgot to pay for it when I walked out' sort of deals? Or is it somehow more complex?

Time to subtly mess with my mother-in-law's head by playing Quebecois Christmas carols all through her Thanksgiving phone call. (She once insisted that @tallin32.bsky.social 's French wasn't nearly good enough to do translation verififcatiations for his job, even though he took five years.)

The Pentagon has now failed the seventh audit in a row.
Somehow I don't think it's going to get better from here.
We could have had top-notch universal health coverage with the $824 BILLION they LOST UNDER THE COUCH CUSHIONS. *seethe*

My primary concern about RFK’s nomination is his belief that disability & chronic conditions are the result of controllable factors like vaccines, environment, etc. Disability is part of the normal human condition, and ignoring that fundamentally harms the civil rights of people with disabilities.

Watching old Perry Mason episode:
Perry gets the woman to smell a piece of evidence.
my brain immediately jumps to an old George Carlin routine.
"Smell it!"
"It has absolutely no aroma."
"It's good! Put it back! Somebody's saving it!'
"That's what frightens me."

RFK’s elevation is going to be such a disaster for the autism community. Divisive. Fraudulent. Abusive. Ignorant. Dehumanizing.

I’d like you, right now, to read this by @juststimming.bsky.social and me. /1

RFK Jr. may want to take a break from studying infectious diseases, but needless to say, infectious diseases aren’t going to take a break from us.

We're now 2 weeks away from #Thanksgiving and I don't want to see any mention of 'guilt,' 'falling off the wagon,' 'cheat days,' any verbiage that implies you are 'bad' or that you 'get to have' food or that you have to 'earn' your food or 'atone' through exercise. Food is awesome, full stop.

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Have some more things to shove under rocks.

You know how they tell you to turn your engine off at gas stations because there might be a spark? Well, does that count if you use a power wheelchair? I'm curious about that, because there's a gas station across the street, and I pass that thing all the time.
