* Every day I wake up hoping Tumblr will have fixed the tag system so it saves previous tags one has used as it used to. Every day I am disappointed.
I am so tired of zapping NAZI/TERFs and spam bots. Related question: why are so many porn spammers also Neo-NAZI TEERFs?
* I've been kind of sluggish and the cats have been extra clingy which I attributed to my system still being off from the meds experiment that failed. Tuesday, Livia tried to herd me back to bed three times. I caught squirrel coughing when he came out to eat. I reminded him to COVID test, which we're being extra careful about because it's bad here and ripping through nursing homes along with RSV and Influenza. They have it at his job, so he's being extra careful, but still.
Several hours later, I started coughing, and it escalated fast as these things do with me. We're both negative for COVID, so likely he brought a cold home and spread it. Honestly it feels like my standard respirator virus situation, not post vax crappy. I alerted the Millennials and called off Wednesday errands. This was clever as I was too ill to sleep properly and every time i drifted off the phone rang.
On the upside the people in charge of breathing meds have finally accepted my doctor's second attempt to renew my prescription after them calling me daily for a month and a half and me telling them that the doctor they keep faxing doesn't work their anymore and them prete5nding to put the new doctor's name in the computer only to call me the next day for an identical conversation in which I have to explain about the old doctor having left in February etc.. I know they talk to a lot of people but they only have three people calling and it was A MONTH and A HALF. It was like none of them had any memory of me having had this conversation before with them, often just the day before. Sigh. I try to be super polite to people with jobs like that because it's a rotten job, but I admit to getting a bit snippy towards the end.
Anyway, I can stop rationing lung meds now.
I did finally get reasonable sleep in the evening. If you are reading me on Tumblr, I didn't get to the posting news part of the evening. This is why.

* "How Native Hawaiians have been pushed out of Hawai'i:"
* Every day I wake up hoping Tumblr will have fixed the tag system so it saves previous tags one has used as it used to. Every day I am disappointed.
I am so tired of zapping NAZI/TERFs and spam bots. Related question: why are so many porn spammers also Neo-NAZI TEERFs?
* I've been kind of sluggish and the cats have been extra clingy which I attributed to my system still being off from the meds experiment that failed. Tuesday, Livia tried to herd me back to bed three times. I caught squirrel coughing when he came out to eat. I reminded him to COVID test, which we're being extra careful about because it's bad here and ripping through nursing homes along with RSV and Influenza. They have it at his job, so he's being extra careful, but still.
Several hours later, I started coughing, and it escalated fast as these things do with me. We're both negative for COVID, so likely he brought a cold home and spread it. Honestly it feels like my standard respirator virus situation, not post vax crappy. I alerted the Millennials and called off Wednesday errands. This was clever as I was too ill to sleep properly and every time i drifted off the phone rang.
On the upside the people in charge of breathing meds have finally accepted my doctor's second attempt to renew my prescription after them calling me daily for a month and a half and me telling them that the doctor they keep faxing doesn't work their anymore and them prete5nding to put the new doctor's name in the computer only to call me the next day for an identical conversation in which I have to explain about the old doctor having left in February etc.. I know they talk to a lot of people but they only have three people calling and it was A MONTH and A HALF. It was like none of them had any memory of me having had this conversation before with them, often just the day before. Sigh. I try to be super polite to people with jobs like that because it's a rotten job, but I admit to getting a bit snippy towards the end.
Anyway, I can stop rationing lung meds now.
I did finally get reasonable sleep in the evening. If you are reading me on Tumblr, I didn't get to the posting news part of the evening. This is why.
