So I gave it a try and told management I will let them know by Friday if I’m coming in next Monday. I feel like crap and my incision is leaking.
Dorothy P @DorothyPI’m back to work after 2.5 weeks medical leave. I seriously underestimated how much recovery time I would need after surgery and wish I put in for another week off. At least I’m working from home for the rest of the month.07:44 AM - May 13, 2024

This is a gentle reminder that the ocean is the shark’s house.
Bob Rebob @Blinds2099A 13 yr old girl fought off a bull shark in Ft Pierce FL. She punched it repeatedly, which is good advice, and “only” received 19 stitches. Curiously, the press refers to this as an “unprovoked” attack. There were 73 “unprovoked” shark attacks in the world last year.07:26 AM - May 13, 2024

The racist shooter was treated with more dignity than the victims.
“Authorities said Shadbar, 70, barricaded himself inside his residence after the shooting. After speaking with him on the phone, a crisis negotiator convinced him to exit with his hands up, according to the news release.“

One of my grandmothers used to warn us to behave “because we don’t want white people to think ill of us.” I was still very young when I told her I wasn’t going to go out of my way to make people who wouldn’t like me no matter what feel comfortable.
"PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!" - yeah right @Original_Phoenix_RisingThough I absolutely was largely raised based on the respectability politics model, I shook that off years ago. I don't care what people think & have nothing to prove to this "them" I kept hearing about growing up, no one would specifically say who "them" was but they meant white people.06:09 PM - May 06, 2024

Temperature blanket update 🧶 This is my progress since the last one was ruined. Each row equals 1 day except yellow to separate months and pink to mark the day before a US holiday. Temperatures are for northeast Massachusetts and are Fahrenheit. The dates are from January 1 through March 3.

I got a get well card from one of my husband’s friends. I am really amused to learn that for the past 30 years, this friend thinks my name is Doreen. And no, I’m not mad. My own father who named me was never able to spell or pronounce my name correctly.
It’s a pretty card, and I appreciate it.

I was introduced to I, Claudius by Robert Graves back in high school. It was my gateway to Ancient Roman history, which led to studying Latin, which led to medieval history, hey, did you know the Aztecs were part of medieval history? Time for a deep dive before I hit Spanish missions in California…

Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick, people. Anyone who sees this deliberate display of weaponized white woman tears and falls for it is the problem. Not part of the problem, the whole problem. Anyone feeling defensive about this is the hit dog. I said what I said.

I just had major surgery two days ago and cannot wait until I can get into the shower again. I’m wearing a battery powered pump that can’t get wet, and although I wash at my sink every time I go to the bathroom, it doesn’t cut it like a hot shower.
Ola @OlatundeMaybe for people in cold climates round the clock. If you’re in the Middle East (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) or West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Ivory Coast) etc, please stop reading and go shower with sponge and soap. 😅09:05 AM - Apr 26, 2024You don't need to take daily showers — they could even be harmful
Experts say the daily shower has no proven health benefit, dismissing the dousing as a socially-accepted practice geared toward staving off accusations of funkiness — as A-listers like Jake Gyllenhaal to Mila Kunis admit they've been saying no to the nozzle.

This is easy. I’d take the $4K a week, and after paying off all my bills I would set up an irrevocable trust. I would live on one third the annual income, $68K, invest one third, and save the rest.
Charlie Ricci @BloggerhythmsIf I got $4,000 a week for life or $2,000,000 cash in a lump sum I'd never have to worry about my credit score, because with my lifestyle I'd never have to borrow money again. If I live 10 more years I'd come out ahead with the weekly payments ($208,000) so that's my choice. What would guys you do?01:52 PM - Apr 21, 2024

As much as I despise Handmaid’s Tale analogies, I really think everyone even remotely employed by any media outlet needs to watch that episode where June/Offred was sheltering in the Boston Globe building.

Forget being unfit to be president. When my Dad started talking like this, we took his car keys away from him.
Ken Exline @KenExlineTrump's mental status on display. The man is unfit to be president today. Just think of how bad his mental status will be by Nov 5. I bet most republicans regret not convicting him at his impeachment trial.07:18 AM - Apr 19, 2024
