USA, I am so sorry.

USA, I am so sorry.

USA, I am so sorry.

USA, I am so sorry.

So, with having BP issues, and having to get an echo cardiogram late November, I’ve been monitoring my food intake and what I eat, when I eat.  I’ve also started exercising regularly.
So instead of losing weight, I gained twelve pounds in the last 2 weeks.  What the hell??😡

Love this… (from a FB post I saw).
 

Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to @WillowDarkling

All the best to my Neko-baby! Love you!

When I was young, I didn’t appreciate just how much of adult life would be taken up with trying to answer the eternal question of “Is this shirt still damp or just cold?”.  I can’t pretend to not be disappointed.

Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f).  Woo!
I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

well that was a fun birthday! NOT! damn 13 yr old nephew had to throw a fit cuz i wanted to go to a bar for my birthday! I spent the WHOLE DAY with him..ugh! im 39yrs old and im already tired. 

When the mind's stumped, spontaneously add in a murder attempt to the story, that’ll spice things up.

I want to wish a happiest of birthdays, to our magnificent @BronxWench 
May the day be wonderful and full of delight. And here’s to another full circle around the sun.   
All gifts in the form of shimmering gold and very sparsely clothed pretties that we may have in our possession, especially of the impish and the elvish variety, will be happily accepted. Gold will be kept, but pretties will be returned, unscathed and very exhausted.

Good news, day 5:
Lots of good news on the energy front: Oil and natural gas prices are falling, and America’s first offshore wind farm just went online.

Good news, day 6:
A 2,100-year-old tomb with hundreds of relics was just unearthed in China. It is the oldest and largest archeological find in the Wulong District in Chongqing.

Good news, day 3:
Scientists have discovered a class of molecules that appear to regenerate tooth pulp. This could make root canals obsolete.

That moment when you keep hearing a soprano velociraptor playing one-sided Marco Polo out in the hallway and realize, oh, no, it’s just the Velcro cat wailing pitifully because you locked him out of the office. 
Woozle. Because of course, it’s Woozle. Never mind that I locked him out because I have cramps, a headache, and writer’s block, and I don’t feel up to fending off his usual shenanigans. By Shenanigans, I mean shaking slobber everywhere, whining, trying to insinuate his fat butt between the desk and my rack, and trying to scale Mount Mom’s-Desk and causing a landslide.
Kid, Mama needs to work! Stay in your box!

Good news, day 2:
Even though there’s a lot of talk about shoplifting these days, it’s less common now than it was before the pandemic. 
Is Shoplifting Really Surging?

There’s a lot of bad news out there these days. So I’ve decided that every day for the next week, I’ll post one piece of good news.
To decrease summer heat and improve air quality, New York City’s city council has decided to up NYC’s tree canopy coverage from 22% to 30%. A lidar-based mapping system will be used to identify places where the new trees would do the most good.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our very own @DemonGoddess 

May it be a wonderful day, and an even better year!

Yeah… so, the parental units and baby sis with her fam are all living in the town next to these, and the threat of an eruption is growing larger, so I’d greatly appreciate all and any vibes of the good and safety kind to be sent their way if you can spare them, and if you have any gods or goddesses that you are on friendly terms with I’d also appreciate any pokes you’d be willing to give them on my family’’s behalf. This shit is getting scary now that the threat of an eruption is so close to town. Thank you, all.

As the wheel turns and the veil thins, we honor those who came before. The blessings of Samhain to all! 🌖
