* Primaries are Ongoing:
Important! Remember to vote in all primaries!!!

NOTE: Important non-Presidential Primaries are also ongoing! Remember to vote in all the races, not just the top of the ticket. Who runs congress, your state, and your local government really matters. In some states this is a separate primary. Check the rules for your state. This is how you push the party and the government left.

Georgia (State Primary Run off), Oklahoma (Congressional), Virginia (Congressional): 6/18/24

Colorado (House), New York (Senate and House), South Carolina (Run Off), Utah (Several important primaries): 6/25/24

Arizona (Congress), South Dakota (Run off): 7/30/24

Tennessee (Congress): 8/1/24

Know your state's schedule and where to vote. Make sure you and your friends are registered. If you are voting in person, plan how to get there.

Never, ever sleep on a chance to vote.

It is always better to vote for someone who will listen to us than to let someone who is actively trying to kill us.

* Refridgerator repair man came. It turned out buying an entire new lower end fridge would cost about a hundred less than fixing this one. Fuck! So we are going to have to buy a new fridge. It's just under $900 with installation. Fuck sake! If it could have gone another 18 months we could have got a free one from the city. Apparently modern refrigerators, like modern water heaters only last a decade. I am used to the ones from my childhood with the 20-40 year life spans.

UPDATE: It turns out we also need a housecall from a plumber for another 300.00. Fuckssake!

* It's been an incredibly rough week. My arm is just terrible to the point where at Wednesday physio, he tried to start me on a new exercise after warm up, looked at what my arm was doing and his face fell. He scrapped the day's plans and we spent the rest of the session with him slowly, gently stretching my arm. So we're pulling back on expectations this week.

The dramatic barometer changes and extreme pollen situation are noticeably messing me up on a variety of levels. I get sicker when I leave my room with it's heavy filtration and outside is even worse. Standing and walking is a nightmare. I've gotten trapped on the ground three times in the last week unable to rise and there are so many problems I could solve if I could just lift things and move them instead of having to work around the blockages.

Then there is all the extra kitchen drama. It's really hard to make anything in there with the ongoing refrigerator situation and everything we have is going to deal with that both physically and financially.

It's just too many things right now on top of all the bureaucratic nightmare going on with the Millennials.

* Friday there was no real sleep. After I got back from helping with bureaucracy inflicted on Millennials. I kept having to get up to deal with things and answer phones. I am bad at sleeping in my clothes at the best of times and the bedroom air conditioner is not what it was. I am worse at getting back to sleep after being awakened over and over. Sigh. It took an hour to move enough things around in the kitchen to make a meal I could only half eat and I STILL had to attempt physio which is at a terrible and disappointing place. I don't really have spoons for the physio; all the extra spoons needed for just trying to eat and hydrate aren't helping at all.
