    I think what annoyed me about Liz Wheeler the other day was a combination of a number of things. My foot, recovering from arthritis and having two pens in two toes, hurt horribly. The weather, while trending in the warmer direction, is becoming damp and that’s causing distraction and a type of achiness. Liz’s tone Read more

    Jason and I was watching the Liz Wheeler show last night. It was her Friday episode and she really kind of cheeped out as she reposted an interview she did with some other organization. It was some sort of empowering mothers anti-abortion group. Okay. Whatever. Most of the time, I find Liz’s voice exceedingly annoying. Read more

    I just did something potentially crazy…. There was a Fat Con in Seattle early February. Out of morbid curiosity, I skimmed it, particularly the ticket prices and what was included. $1200 for VIP + Plus $600 for VIPAnd a couple of hundred for two days and about a hundred for a single day. It’s been Read more

    um….. My foot hurts. It hurts a lot. Me, someone who has lived with some sort of physical pain for the past forty or so years, have learned to ignore it, departmentalize pain, and accept it. It’s more of a constant companion than a bother. It reminds me that I’m alive, providing I acknowledge its Read more

    I think you should be proud of yourself. From what you’ve stated, this term has been tough. You’ve stated that work has been overwhelming, and you have been increasingly ill all term. That’s a lot, especially when you’re trying to do your best in college. To support, I “forgotten” to apply all applicable late penalties Read more

    I feel like I have a lot going on. It’s temporary, I think, but it’s a lot. The most immediate is that the class ends tomorrow. Final essays were due last night and only a handful submitted. So, in theory, there should be at least ten finals plus oral presentations, plus little bs things to Read more

    This is kind of an odd day. The Super Bowl ended with a bang, apparently, as the Eagles slaughtered the favored Chefs. Favored, I guess because of Swift’s boyfriend, Trump endorsed, and received numerous disputed calls to get them there. I guess it is supposed to be one of the most lopsided Bowls ever. The Read more

    I don’t know if I’m cold or hot. When I wake up or just do something around the house, I feel like I’m freezing and resist the urge to play with the thermostat. Of course, I cave because the hands feel like blocks of ice and I start shivering. On comes the heat and within Read more

    I kind of have to feel for the journalists. They “actually” have a job now. After four years of non-reporting and hiding the Biden’s fumbles, there has been a constant and rapid fire changes in policy through the drama of executive orders. The nominations of cabinet members need coverage since, at this point, most of Read more

    It’s about one in the morning. Trump will be sworn in, again, in roughly eleven hours. He, apparently, has over 100 executive orders to be signed before lunch which is reputed to undo some of Biden’s bull and radically start an American transformation. Biden committed harm to America. It’s far reaching and will impact people Read more
