Well, we got to Saturday

Posted on November 4, 2023 by A Dreamer

Hooboy. And the news has been a firehose again. Israel/Hamas continues to be a fucking nightmare. We have a right wing Christofascist as Speaker of the House (that may have been week before last, it’s all running together.) Covid is … Continue reading →

And what a firehose of a week it’s been yet again. If you’re overwhelmed by all the news, you are definitely not alone. I’ve been saying it to the point of sounding like a broken record, but our brains are … Continue reading →

What. A. Week.

Another Covid booster, still no 5G…

Posted on September 30, 2023 by A Dreamer

So disappointing. Got the Moderna shot Thursday, so that’s off the to-do list. I don’t know what’s up with distribution, but there were no Pfizer shots within like 50 miles of me, so Moderna it was. At least I didn’t … Continue reading →

Whoops!

Posted on September 24, 2023 by A Dreamer

Occoquan festival got canceled – on Friday – and despite my brother searching for updates yesterday, we did not know about this until we tried to go today, LOL. I’ll admit, I’m bummed, even though canceling it was a smart … Continue reading →

Go home, Ophelia, you’re 400 years off your timeline

Posted on September 23, 2023 by A Dreamer

And you’re gonna miss that therapy appointment. I did not have “contend with tropical storm that wasn’t even on the radar this time last week” on my PTO fun stuff to-do list for sure. Definitely putting a dent in the … Continue reading →

National Museum of African American History and Culture
