Note to self: no more garlic mix pretzels.

I just upgraded my father from an outdated flip phone to an iPhone. Welcome to 2025, Dad!

I appreciate everyoneā€™s messages of support, Iā€™m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, itā€™s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Join the resistance! Resist now! Resist today!

This is genius.

Watching commentator Malcolm Nance on The Stephanie Miller Show, he rightly pointed out that the time to fight the Trump regime is now. We canā€™t wait. We must oppose him and every turn. Elected Democrats must act and oppose him. History will be unforgiving of those who remain idle.

"See cashier." As an introvert, I'm going to get in my car and drive to another gas station.

When I come across a video that begins with the creatorā€™s plea, ā€œPlease donā€™t scroll,ā€ I find myself irresistibly drawn to the urge to immediately scroll.

On my recent trip to the land of the mouse, I acquired this adorable Loungefly bag. Isnā€™t it simply irresistible? Iā€™ve heard that other Disney enthusiasts become quite obsessive about collecting these. Well, hereā€™s my first one!

Iā€™m planning another Disney trip in early April. I know I just returned from my last trip and need to save money, but I need a date to mark on my calendar and start working towards it.

NOW they expect empathy?

Iā€™m doing much better with my blood glucose levels today. I drank a lot more water and was very active, which will also help me achieve my weight loss goals.

I have a rather peculiar confession to make. I regret never having braces during my teenage years. Back then, it seemed like almost everyone in high school had them. I felt like an outsider and left out. My parents could never afford it and I could now, should I?

This is magnificent.

I fondly recall my childhood when I didnā€™t have to endure 40 grueling hours every week with irritating people, leaving me exhausted just to make ends meet and afford basic necessities.

Marvel movies, once an escape from reality, are now ripped from todayā€™s headlines. In Captain America: Brave New World, the President is a giant, odd colored rage monster manipulated by a foreign operative.

Is anyone else annoyed when apps abuse push alerts? I have banking app alerts, but I recently got an advertisement for their tax preparation services. I didnā€™t ask for that. Just give me my account balance.

Maybe I'll actually be able to ride Guardians of the Galaxy now. I've been so unlucky with getting virtual queues.

Iā€™m a Disney adult. Last week, I visited the resorts and spent too much money. Tonight, I watch a livestream from ResortTV1, longing for more time there. Itā€™s a repeating cycle. I'd love to be in EPCOT, immersing myself in the atmosphere.

Happy Presidents Day

Catherine Tate, from being the best companion on Doctor Who to being a comedic genius, has truly accomplished it all.

Someone noticed my Dexcom this morning at work and assumed I was diabetic. They then lectured me about not having my morning coffee because it contains sugar. If you see someone with a medical device, avoid making comments about their health, food choices, or personal life.

Just had a Dexcom sensor failure when I changed my sensor a few minutes ago. Looks like I hit a slight bleeder. These sensors are expensive, I hate wasting one.

With the current political climate and Robert F. Kennedy in charge of HHS, it's time to make sure vaccinations are up to date (before the shitgibbon makes it illegal).

I have my Apple Music library playing on random, and I swear some of the Glee covers are better than the original artists.

I am a bit concerned about a GMI of 6.3 for a 90 day period. I have some work to do, obviously.

This week's Dexcom readings. A better week overall, which is a bit surprising because of my time at Disney World on Monday & Tuesday.

Surely this will bring down the price of eggs and other groceries. Is it 'day one' yet?

I inherited my grandmotherā€™s old-fashioned house, which she stubbornly refused to modernize. As the new owner, Iā€™ve retrofitted the house, but I havenā€™t installed a dryer yet. Today, I regret this decision as itā€™s raining heavily, and I need to dry my laundry.

Parents, recognize that your childā€™s sexual orientation isnā€™t a choice; itā€™s their honesty. Show unconditional love and acceptance to positively impact their life.

I recently took a 3 day mini-vacation. Upon my return, I discovered that none of my tasks had been completed. It took me 3 days to catch back up. Iā€™m fully using my vacation time this year. I refuse to experience a similar situation again. What's the use in having a back up who never backs you up?!

MAGA Farmer wants us to ā€œcome togetherā€ now that heā€™s facing the consequences of his vote. ā€œI didnā€™t read project 2025 because it was my understanding that wasnā€™t what he was running onā€ šŸ™ƒšŸ† youtube.com/shorts/9LtSM...

Iā€™ve been watching videos of a person who was diagnosed with ADHD. He began taking medication for it just two days ago and has been documenting his journey. This has made me contemplate getting an official diagnosis and exploring the possibility of medication assisting me in a similar manner.

Surely this brings down the price of eggs that they were so concerned about.

Disney adults arenā€™t the problem. The real issue is people who think joy has an age limit. If my fun includes riding Haunted Mansion repeatedly and hunting churros, thatā€™s my business. Stay mad while I order another beignet.

Google has disabled their ability to report. Make your feelings known by giving Google Maps a 1 star review in the App Store and commenting on the proper name: Gulf of Mexico.

Turnabout is fair play.

An update on the ongoing Dexcom G7 saga. Itā€™s been a month since I requested the sensor, but my insurance rejected the prescription, despite my plan to pay out of pocket. Iā€™ve resubmitted the request, hoping for a resolution to this quest.

Apple Maps users: Take the following steps to report the incorrect name for the Gulf of Mexico. Google has disabled reporting for their map of the Gulf of Mexico.

The high price point is the reason for the lackluster sales. Even as an Apple fan, $3,500 is unaffordable for many.

Just back from a (mostly) relaxing trip to visit the Mouse down in Orlando. Had a wonderful time, but there were too many MAGA zombies there.

Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico.

I visited Animal Kingdom yesterday and rode the Kilimanjaro Safari. Surrounded by Trumpanzees from the start, it was an uncomfortable experience. I canā€™t understand why they chose Disney; their values clash with Disneyā€™s principles.

I will never refer to the Gulf of Mexico by any other name.
