Paper CeeCee

I've filed my last taxes with my late husband. Next year it will inly be me.

I've also taken down my Christmas tree.

Yesterday, I comforted my friends who had to let their dog go.

That's all.

I am tired but home.

I loved my time here in Puerto Rico. I actually practiced my Spanish with my Uber driver, who was very tickled that I could have a conversation with him.

However, I miss my space.

I have no idea what day it is. #vacation

Yes, I am that person writing in Spanish to my friends' postcards because I'm in San Juan. 🤣 Lo siento.

FINALLY. Some movement. #iykyk

I saw the handouts!

Heh. I just noticed I said map.

I need a map too because maps are fun but a nap is needed more.

Hugs to you.

I want a map.

No, I need a nap.

Oh, dear god. I cannot believe I am angsting this much about who to have a proper romance with in the latest #dragonage game.

I thought I knew going into the game but another player has me questioning things.

Any advice, other Dragon Age players.

Yah!!! ❤️‍🩹

That sucked but I fucking showed up. #boxing

Beautiful hair!

This year has been shit. I'm still standing, as Steven would've wanted me 2 do. It's in part 2 you who've checked in, dragged me out, & let me sit in silence as I cried. Love you.

And I'm 48?! WTF.

I hope this year treats us better. Happy New Year, & I hope that 2025 is calm & uninteresting.

☺️☺️☺️

Merry Christmas!

The universe is a funny thing. I am playing Dragon Age, as one does, and I found comfort in Emmrich's personal task. It kind of feels like Stevie was telling me that it's okay. #grief #dragonage

I celebrated the winter solstice last night at the place where
Steve is buried.

👋👋👋❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I got a new tree. I don't have to string the lights.

Stevie may have been Jewish, but he loved it once placed. He called it our Hanukkah Bush.

Things are hard this year. I keep on & will continue to do so. If not for him but also for me.

😆

Then I may finally be able to start on the other arm with the fauna. 😅

I'm not getting Gillian tattooed on Saturday but more flowers! I will try to grab a picture when it's finished.

That is beautiful.

Infant Mortality Increases Across US Following Dobbs Decision The Dobbs decision was associated with a 7% absolute increase in overall infant mortality—equivalent to 247 excess deaths—and a 10% increase among infants with congenital anomalies, corresponding to 2...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?

It started at my house when they lived with me, and it continued after they moved out.

Kidmas is with my nieces and nephew who aren't with their father on actual Christmas hence, Kidmas.
