Spencer's Gifts sounds like the name of a movie about a sweet little boy who is very sick.

I took a few extra days off around the 4th of July holiday, and in my head, I basically retired so going back to work today has been truly awful.😂😭 I even like my job - I just can’t get it together today. I’m retired, don’t ya know?

My dermatologist was wearing a mask the other day, but as far as I could tell, he and I were the only one in the office who had one on.

Called to get a doctor’s appointment for a routine thing and managed to get in for tomorrow? Like, a Saturday appointment- less than 24 hours from now. What witchcraft is this? I usually have to wait a minimum of six months.

Depending on what it is, perhaps insurance? I am currently having to do about $50,000 worth of repairs to my house due to a hailstorm, and I’d be screwed without my homeowners insurance.

One of my friends was super convinced that dog vaccines were a money grabbing scam until her puppy died of distemper. It was a horrible and preventable death. She vaccinates now.

RIGHT!??!??! But they said it, so fucking do something with it. Fire all the conservative justices. Declare “abortions for some, miniature American flags for others” the law of the land. Get those taco trucks trucks on every corner. ANYTHING.

Or literally anything. I’m getting very tired of being told that what I’m doing is wrong/Im giving up/I’m not doing enough. What can I do? I call. I vote. I write. I have very limited power at the end of the day. I try to use the power I have, but I am throwing a hotdog down the political hallway.

Right? I am so tired of being told to vote. What do you think I’ve been doing for the past 26 years? And he’s acting like he has not been in office since 2020? He’s all, “I’m going to bring back Roe!” like it was not lost on his watch?

I am not particularly a pool person, but I’ve never wanted to spend the summer laying by a pool ignoring life while a nice waiter brings me drinks at intervals more in my life. Trashy beach reads, margaritas, sun, no phone…yesss.

Just…classic. Amazing. Like, I’m terrified, but this is fantastic writing from both of these justices. It makes me (briefly-I’m far too exhausted) wish I were still a professor.

If things to do go down as badly as we fear, some future historian will be able to create a glorious “I told you so” timeline from this historical record. This is a small comfort to those of us who have to live this. But nobody will be able to say that we didn’t know this could happen.

This particular line is only one small one, but there are so many that directly and in detail explain what is (could- let’s cling to hope!) going to happen and what their fears are as a result of these various decisions.

…as a student of literature, the liberal justices have been a master class in writing for the future historians who may (because it does no good to completely lose hope) someday be sorting through the shambles to figure out what went wrong.

I was thinking this morning as I was listening to Up First on NPR that I’d make a terrible news host. My story for the debate would be “The presidential debate between Biden and Trump happened last night.” Three minutes of silence, followed by a heavy sigh, and then I’d roll into the next story.

Bessie the Happy Hound is in decline. Our vet says it could be tomorrow or another six months- but we are definitely on borrowed time at this point. I want to spoil her as much as possible, but I’m not sure how I can possibly spoil her even more.

The first house I owned had a carpeted kitchen and a carpeted bathroom and it was one of the first things I changed. It was so impractical and strange to me that somebody deliberately made that design choice.

I really love they are willing to let me get *unpleasant specific disease* instead of helping me prevent it. I assure you that it will cost them much more than this medication.

I am on other medications for the other garbage number, and they have said they will not be paying for the expense medication ever unless I get *insert specific disease* but I’m on track now, so fingers crossed I guess?🙄

Finally went to the doctor and got blood work and my thyroid is ok,so I guess I just am exhausted by life or something?OTOH, my new insurance refused to pay for a really expensive medication because they said I didn’t need it, and another number immediately turned to garbage again, so there’s that.
