Sugar (Alice Lanteigne)

The State denied the City's payday loan and the budget meeting the Library was supposed to speak at got cancelled. So we're back to not knowing if we'll get paid for the rest of the year after Friday's check.

Nice! They still allow your Pokemon to knock out shinys in whatever mode it is that lets you play as your 'mon in the terrarium. Ask me how I know 😅

Ok so I heard a rumor that I haven't wanted to look up because of spoilers. Is it true that shiny 'mons no longer despawn?

A void cat curled up on a day bed

We caught Cloud about to jump up here to curl up with Momma. Because I said something, he had to walk off and pretend that isn't what he wanted to do. He doesn't like anyone to know he's still a Mommy's boy.

Only I could accidentally lose a phone inside a Faraday Cage.

He gets home and calls my phone, but it won't ring. Oh dang I must have dropped it hard enough to shut off. He searches, and finds it on actually. It slipped between a handful of anti-static bags in a box of shipping stuff. Zero missed calls.

My left ankle can hold weight so it's not broken! Cool. Now I can grab what I came out here for, find my phone, and go inside. The phone flew out of my hand, so I am pretty sure it fell in some of the boxes nearby but I don't see it. Les isn't home so he can't call it. Hmm guess I need to wait.

My phone teleported out of my hand and flew somewhere while the rest of me finally got the message that gravity has switched directions now and we're going with it, cursing all the way. As I try to figure out what just happened in the last 15 seconds, I pull myself up to my feet.

Y'all I swear my tombstone will be hilarious one day. I slipped on some bubble wrap in the garage. Normally I can catch myself, but apparently my left ankle decided it's been too long since it went out on me, so it said "fuck you" and I slammed into the concrete and on to my right knee.

What I walked back in the room to... guess my seat has been stolen.

I can check some more sources on Tues when I get back to work if not.

Especially since I know that I won't be protected if (when) something happens at work.

Sending you big hugs! Do you qualify for the new program Crescent Care spun up? The name is escaping me at the moment but it's to fill the gap of Medicaid patients that can no longer get their HRT. I have just been disassociating through it all.

UTIs suck. Currently miserable, but at least I didn't have to leave the house to get antibiotics.

The hubby bought a bag of plums yesterday. The fruit were all nicked, bruised, and at the very beginning of overripe. I washed and peeled all of them, then depitted and put the in the fridge. Just grabbed some to put in a bowl with the Tillamook ice cream he found on sale. So yummy. Pic unrelated.

Album - Summerween Surf YouTube video

Ok found my favorite new album.

I hate calling out of work last minute, but I got horribly sick in the shower this morning. My wonderful hubby cleaned up and made a light breakfast while I have the nurse kitties checking on me. Hopefully I still have some sick leave to use.

Hey any of y'all that didn't evacuate, the City Archives is looking for pictures of New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. They are putting together a special collection for the 20th anniversary.

Read the news and made myself angry again. I just don't seem to learn...

Hey am I reading this wrong or does this new law say that if you have a concealed carry permit you can carry at a VoTech cause they're no longer "schools" (for the purpose of this law)? Related note... another law says that all highschools have to give students access to VoTech training.

A void cat perched on a human leg.

She just came over and plopped her butt down on my leg. It doesn't even look comfortable.

Y'all I cannot open as emails from Our of Print. Their stuff is so nice but so expensive. Also I want all their socks.

Senior Job Training Funds Cut Ahead of Benefit Work Mandates The US Department of Labor quietly ended its only nationwide job training program for low-income seniors just as tens of thousands must meet new work requirements to tap into Medicaid and food assista...

Oh Gods I am about to have so many seniors showing up asking me for help with job applications. I am not a fan of the company overall, but the loss of the Goodwill program here is going to HURT. I'm not sure where I am going to send people now for job training.

US Departments of Labor, Education implement workforce development partnership

Oh this is not good.

Fantastic cover of this song. Funny how relevant it still is.

Are they? I guess they feel the need to try and steal Door Dash customers?

So the Family Dollar has an Uber Eats sticker on the door...what do they have to order? And who is ordering it?

Had to replace the fridge before the party (thankfully MIL had a spare). Cloud is guarding the new one.

Saving us from another 9/11 23 years after the fact!

Wow today's the day huh? 42. My wonderful hubby got this for me!
