With the amount of money I spend on every year I could afford to buy 12+ gaming systems.

And that doesn’t include the 10k I spent on my broken thumb due to a low. 🙃

“Hold on, I think you might not be bi-polar. I’m going to get a second opinion on this and email you.” - my psych

Thank GOD. Bipolar meds always make me feel awful and I end up not taking them.

We’re having fun going through new meds right now until she can get a finger on it. Oh the joys of having a weird brain and being extra neurospicy.

A bill like this should have every single rep signed on as a co-sponsor -- for real. They'll do it, too; they just need to know it's important to their constituents.

Not sure whom you should call or what to say? I'll give you contact information and a good script.

I really think we can get this done. /fin

friends in : Rep Hannah Kane (11th Worcester) has filled bill HD.1061, that would allow pharmacists to dispense limited amounts of emergency without a prescription.

This bill will save lives. Has your rep signed on as a co-sponsor? Will you call them and encourage them to do so? (or thank them if they have!)

Some days it seems that no matter how much insulin you inject into your body, your blood glucose just will not be controlled…

COVID booster: done! Very quick and efficient. Well done to all at Clair Hall in . I’ve now had the complete set (I think!): Astra Zeneca (x2), Moderna, and today, Pfizer. Shame there’s not a Panini sticker album.

A day for change clearly! Switched to Mastodon (loving it!) and switched my to Microsoft Azure (it worked!). Calm yourselves now, it’s not that exciting…

I write for a living. Usually my own books, occasionally other people's.

Not looking to re-create the Bad Place. Will be content with a nice Medium Place.

I dig big ideas, the Merlin bird app, happy dogs, curious humans, ordinary flora + oddball fauna, and that first hit of coffee in the am.

Easily overwhelmed by the scale of the universe.

Favorite books: MIDDLEMARCH, EINSTEIN'S DREAMS, MIXED UP FILES. Equal parts Philip Glass + Taylor Swift.

mom,
