Last Notes npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama I did have a modest FBI file, but I've never been on a watchlist. I think. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Wow, I have never heard this! It isn't my vibe, but good on them for having the balls to cover Fear. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama It's a weird feeling. My guy is clean now and thriving, but a friend's connection was not so lucky. Survivor's guilt sometimes hits me when I think about the dumb shit I did. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Same. It does help me be more charitable toward obnoxious drunks, though, because maybe they'll be much better people if they just stop. I still want to smack 'em sometimes, though. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama It's even less fun when you're off the market. Or maybe more fun, or less frustrating, because you don't have to cross someone off because they're a mean or messy drunk. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Ha, so much! npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama A rare and beautiful photo of Nibbler and The Lady Catherine looking cozy together. But don't be fooled - I just had to break them up because Nibbler was being fresh. He's even still got one paw buried in her soft side from when he was standing on her. They're still cute like this, though. ❤️ #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #TheLadyCatherine #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington #TheLadyCatherineAndNibbler #catstodon #CatsOfTheFediverse #Fedicats https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/546/171/245/459/733/original/9ed1253dd02759e7.jpg npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama When I was out in the backyard today putting nuts out for the crows, the squirrel I've been calling Little Mama climbed to the top of the fence and stared at me. Usually she will come to the ground and silently ask for nuts, which I'll toss to her. Today, though, she seemed to want something, looking at me with her glossy black eyes. I held out a cashew and she took it with her tiny brown fingers, then sat there eating it, keeping an eye on me. When she finished, she begged again, and I gave her another cashew, and another, which she took in her little mouth. While she was eating, I laid out some other nuts to see what she liked best. She knocked the shelled pistachio off the fence post, but walnuts and macadamias seemed to pass inspection. What an honor. I know lots of people befriend squirrels, but I didn't think I would. I just wanted a crow army. This is an unexpected bonus! #YardFriends #SquirrelFriend #LittleMama npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Sounds like my Catherine, Lady Darlington. She walks like a bulldog, somehow has corners (???) when she curls up, and yet is still the daintiest little lady. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/464/522/767/616/475/original/01495a1971fdcbad.jpg npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Had a headache so bad I was afraid I might be having a stroke (all signs good, though, so panic over), so I decided to try my new migraine prescription. I hate it. I'm all sleepy and shaky and just as unproductive as during a migraine. Can't win. 😤 npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama RE: https://mastodon.social/@FluentInFinance/116371822094839719 Sources are in the replies. I welcome absolutely any progress, though it comes too late for some people I love. #FuckCancer #note140w…rphx npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama He's such a hateful grub. I'm so furious that he's the president for our 250th. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama A real thing I just said to the neurology department scheduler: "Oh, I forgot it was February." #BrainFog #CognitiveError #BrainFogIsModerateCognitiveImpairment #ChronicIllness npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Nibbler has a late entry for Tongue-Out Tuesday. #CatsOfMastodon #Nibbler #blep #TongueOutTuesday #catstodon https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/169/478/677/260/812/original/3652b36d5e0faf5c.jpg npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Edit: Y'all are being so nice and helpful - so quickly, too! I can't say that I've gotten to the bottom of things, but I have solid answers that I'll try out when the laptop wakes up from its nap. You can stop forwarding if you like. Thanks again, gang! ❤️ Hey all! My son decided we should install Bazzite on his new laptop, and we of course ran into problems I can't solve. Anyone who's up want to help me troubleshoot this thing? 😬🙏 #BazziteInstallation #Bazzite #troubleshooting #helpMeWithLinux npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama My favorite aunt is in that liminal land between living and dying, and I can't be there. I got to join a group singalong over the phone, but I wasn't feeling great. I'm hoping my brother can get time off work, because I need him to accompany me there. I don't drive, and my aunt is off grid (in a good, hippie way), and so I need a driver. But I also need my brother as support. He's always been solid. And watching my mother and her siblings begin the mourning process is like watching a dress rehearsal for one of us joining the choir invisible. And the idea of losing one of my siblings is multiplying my own grief. Mostly I'm terribly sad about Aunt Margaret. She's absolutely sweet and pure of heart, and she's been my model for kindness. We talked for three hours on the 19th, mostly her sharing funny family stories. She did get serious and ask if I would be OK if she went on hospice care. I told her of course she could, and then she redirected back to funny stories. I really didn't think she would die. And maybe she won't die right now, who knows. I have denial in my heart about these things. Margaret is one of the good ones, and I'm losing her, and the world is losing her just as Maine could use her big heart. Her husband, her first love, is losing her. Her two wild sons, my beautiful cousins, are losing her rootedness. My son is losing the woman so kind that she saved some early snow in a cooler the Christmas we visited so that my California kid could play with snow anyway. That's what's going on with me, if I haven't been in touch. I may not be in touch very often, since I'll probably sleep or write instead to work off my grief, but I still love y'all. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Ahh, it's just the comp cishet discourse. Don't worry about it. I think you're closer to being right, and staying circumspect because you're a strong dude is great. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Hmm! Another vote for Pop OS! Later I will do an in-depth comparison between it and Rizzler [edit: Bazzite] or whatever. (I can never remember its name...) Thanks, Reed! npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama She loves this. She won't leave. 😻 #catstodon #CatsOfMastodon #CatherineLadyDarlington #LadyCatherineOfDarlington #TheLadyCatherine https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/115/739/248/017/721/186/original/d760467d353915e7.jpg npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Physically, today was not good for me - still isn't. But The Lady Catherine cuddled with me, even enjoying my arm around her. Nibbler is, as usual, sprawled across my lap. My husband has been very sweet. My son was animated and kind. (Both men are very good men, kind and empathetic, but they're being especially sweet to me.) I got my act together enough to make a simple dinner for my son, and I'm in the process of putting together the fruitcake batter. I won't count that quite yet, but I feel motivated, even if I'm oogy. My Christmas shopping is done, I think. It's all helping me feel better about feeling terrible. 🥹 npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Most music nerds do ignore country music. Which is fine, much of it is terrible, including Chesney. He's best known for briefly marrying Renee Zellweger, the incredibly titled "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," and bro country that focuses on bad beer, old trucks, and faceless women. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama I slept 13 hours last night, got up for a couple hours, took a two-hour nap, and now I'm ready to go to bed again. I got two things done - two and a half, since I had to leave a message with the person whose help I need. This is the most fruitful day I've had in months. #ChronicIllness npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama I really hate the "said" and the "say," as if we don't have eyes. Thank gods those women had their babies despite the medical neglect, and that neither of them bled out or had an incident with the baby themself. But they suffered for nothing. I'm mad. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama I'm guessing that CNN article was updated. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama A snowman made of excrement and dusted with dirt. A pick-me chick out to prove girls can be just as evil as men, but overshot so much that even Stephen Miller thinks she's a little over the top. A soulless ghoul who thought killing the family dog made for a folksy, down-home story about farm life instead of a damning indictment of her ability to think logically and to love anything. What Violet Beauregarde would have grown to become if she had survived the chocolate factory and refused to learn any lessons from her ordeal. The sentient evolution of the life that grows when you leave white rice in the pressure cooker for a few months. A faux drag queen who hates women (and children, and men, and enbys, and dogs, and goats, and chickens) more than any real drag queen could even picture. A thumb-sized blood clot that channeled its rage at being expelled from an unoccupied uterus into growing person-sized and taking its revenge on the living world. In short, a werrible titch. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Totally - I love that sweet guy. His dad is always on the floor with him, so you'd think he'd notice how strong the scene is. npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Right? Poor Todd. Just use some baking soda. It's cheaper, too! npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama Oh no! Is it coming your way? npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama When I first started dating my husband, he was afraid to turn on his stove. Now he chides me about leaving teabags on the cutting board. Growth. 😇 npub1sr42kcxklykun7k3yvzup8y2whj02qxmuydfeyxmnqvv68f89c0quktunh spiegelmama What beautiful boys!
