Ugh. GameStop tried charging my card at 2AM last night for my switch 2 preorder and my card declined it because it thought it was fraud. Since it was 2AM, I couldn’t answer the text asking me if it was valid. I’m so hoping it still goes through. Blergh.

Why are Republicans so hung up on the Ten Commandments? If you are going to post something, how about the Sermon on the Mount? As for the 10 commandments, wouldn’t people see how many politicians break regularly? Doesn’t seem like something I would want to promote.

Due to being away and then getting sick, it has been a month since my last weight workout. I did walk when I could, but I know I lost muscle with lifting, so let’s bring it back. 35lb dumbbells anyone?

I haven’t fed my starter, Madame Beatrice Bubbles, in a few weeks as I’ve been away and kept her in the fridge. After feeding her, she subtly let me know she was displeased with my disappearance and lack of feeding.

As we remember this Memorial Day, we cannot dishonor those who gave their lives. Their sacrifice was to fight fascism, ensure freedom for all, and to allow others a chance at a good life. What we have in the President and Congress are none of these things. Don’t forget the sacrifice of many.

I was in the MRI for maybe 15 mins before I had a panic/claustrophobia attack. Since then, I’ve had nightmares about being trapped for 2 nights. Never had claustrophobia before my 3rd MRI. I was in the machine for 1.5hrs and it messed my brain. Now I get claustrophobia in things like diner booths.

Can we stop having Jesse the Body on SNME? I know he is a classic, but it is clear he doesn’t watch the product or his memory is shot. He is not the only announcer/wrestler. There were 2 cage matches in the ‘80s.

North Carolina’s FEMA request was denied. MO is still waiting for any assistance. Remember when the right lied about Biden not sending FEMA funds after he did? Well, this is what it looks like when a Pres doesn’t care about the people.

Just think, the next Generation of video game systems starts in 2 weeks. The Switch 1 will be sunset sometime as the Switch 2 is released into the world. So exciting.

Rep Mike Lawler, who is currently running ads saying he won’t vote for any cuts to Medicare, voted YES to Trump’s bill that will cut Medicare in order to give tax cuts to wealthy people. Congratulations hypocrite

Well that stinks. I had an MRI today and I had a full blown claustrophobia attack. I have to do the whole thing over again! Please someone invent a better cardiac MRI. An hour and a half in a machine up to your nose with your chest compressed and arms pinned down is not fun.

Well, last night was the end for the Leafs. Another season is over. They just got outplayed last night and at least didn’t quit midway. I think the dream lineup will come to an end because it hasn’t been able to get the job done. What could have been, huh?

P showed me a comment on a FB thread criticizing a plea to develop an antisemitism definition in our village. The post referred to how the clergy are lacking in knowledge. I have a doctorate, attended Yale for 9 months as a fellow, and have been a fellow at Princeton twice. So strange

Well FB decided to freeze my account I was using to update my church’s account forcing me to “prove” I was human including doing a video selfie. I guess Zuck really doesn’t want me back, so I am done done. This is dumb.

It will cost millions to do a security overhaul on Trump’s illegal bribe and it will be all paid for by tax payers. Then he gets to keep it.

It is #eurovision week and I am excited! This is my annual- I will get it wrong post about the winner. I am also American and don’t vote, so it is just fun. I will admit, I am not a big fan of most of the songs this year and only like about 1/2 of them. It seems a weaker year.

I am in a convent this week and today was one of the coolest moments. During lunch, the new pope was announced. There are about 80 nuns here who are older. They were watching their phones and were shouting out what was going on. It was delightful.

It is always strange being on retreat in that I cannot read the news all day if at all, so coming back on it is like- holy cow I missed that!?! At the same time, it is quite lovely missing out on things.

Got TSA precheck and I cannot believe I made it through security in less than 20 mins. The bad news is I got here as if I were going to have to wait and now I am waiting in the terminal for the next two hours. 😂

A person recently approached me and said she was angry (in a funny way) at me because I left FB. She said she looked forward to my daily posts and reflections and felt she was missing them. That’s so kind! It is hard refinding my groove without FB, but I’m still holding strong.

It is also a good time to remind everyone if just 5 House GOP members worked with Democrats and instilled a check to Trump, tariffs would not happen as they are controlled by the House and NOT the Executive branch. The GOP House are NOT doing their literal jobs.

Thanks to Trump’s stupid tariffs, game consoles and games are already increasing. MS just announced its new tariff pricing as has Nintendo. Just remember we are getting higher prices because the President doesn’t understand economics nor does he listen.

Biden left with a strong stock market, a booming economy, and the lowest unemployment in the history of the US. The current Pres is trying to pass this tanking economy off on Biden. It has been 100 days in office and it keeps tanking because of tariffs and instability. It is all his fault.
