My boyfriend's father fell and broke his leg. He'll need surgery and rehab. All this after an exhausting couple of weeks with the flu, a UTI and not eating enough. Then there's my dad, who struggles to eat enough and is a constant fall risk. Life is feeling especially hard these days.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

So, my family and I are in the middle of figuring out wills, power of attorney stuff, end of life wishes, etc. Does anyone have any good online resources that you’ve used? I’m totally overwhelmed tbh. It’s something we all have to face, yet no one guides you on how to do this stuff..

The raccoon brought a fish in the garage and ate it! A fish?? The lake isn’t super close and we don’t live near any other bodies of water. Where did it get a fish? It left half, so I had to go in and retrieve it so the cats didn’t eat a funky fish. 😫

I had a very slim sliver of hope a few years ago that long Covid research would lead to possible answers for me and my 32 yr long battle with ME/CFS. It breaks my heart that all my hope is gone now.

Well, that’s it’s for my family and I having accessibility to appointments when going in is either unsafe or physically impossible. This is just cruelty. They want suffering.

Good morning. Woke up with worry brain. But the sun is shining, the cats made it through the very cold night, everything is ok in this second, right here, right now. Living with anxiety and depression in times like these can feel like you're fighting the currents. Gotta slow down and breathe.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Raccoon ball! Is this how they sleep? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sleeping raccoon before this.

Some good news: Francis the cat has decided he does indeed like the box with the heating pad. He and the others have been snug bugs today in their little cottages in the garage. Also, a stray we see often has taken shelter inside and had dinner with them. I moved some blankets into a corner for him.

This is incredibly stressful to our Alzheimer's community (families and researchers). There are Alzheimer Disease Research Centers that are in limbo now - no council meetings means no notice of awards, means all the research we are doing to slow or prevent this disease is paused indefinitely.

I feel sick. I’ve supported them since the 90s. They’ve been a resource for me when I needed help. And now this.
