Tiny Kevin is talking smack about McConnell while secretly hoping he doesn't get stuck with a huge pile of spending bills to deal with in the Congress' next term.

A little more about me…I have a son with severe epilepsy. He is my heart. ♥️
This week he is hooked up to a round the clock EEG. He’s been through so much, but somehow manages to keep his sense of humor. 🙂

People are still being jailed for possession of pot, which by itself doesn't kill anyone, possession of fentanyl should include attempted murder.
I just saw the revised #TimHortons reward plan. Consider me very unimpressed. Used to be 7 visits would earn me 70 points for a free coffee. Considering if I spend $2.25 a coffee per visit I'll have spent somewhere above $15.00.
Now I'll earn 10 points for each dollar spent. But will now take 400 points for a free coffee. I'll have to spend $40 to get that "free" coffee and take 18 visits to earn it. I'll just stop going to Timmie's for a while. Their reward program is no reward at all.

Absolutely brutal way to wake up this morning ... don't ask. Let's just say I'll be exercising for most of the day. It's a good thing that 3 hours out of my 7 hours of sleep were full NREM3 ... because otherwise I'd end up a zombie in the middle of all this PT. Gonna eat breakfast and just focus on body recovery today. Mental status is epic. That deep sleep does wonders for clearing out the mind and spirit and prepping you for the new day. No complaints!

Some days its just hard to see the good in the world.
Woke up to a package being stolen within 15 minutes of it being delivered. I've already been pretty depressed and not in the christmas spirit, it was a gift for my boyfriend.
Steal from the rich, I'm fucking broke.

Adults who neglect COVID-19 health recommendations may also neglect basic road safety. Traffic risks were 50%-70% greater for adults who had not been vaccinated compared to those who had. Misunderstandings of everyday risk can cause people to put themselves and others in grave danger

Morning Cat Report:
Yesterday the human left the territory and returned smelling of Adventure* and bearing Prey.** Overnight we have hidden the prey throughout the house.*** This should improve the human's hunting skills.

It's OK to love the holidays and delight in all the cooking, decorating, and sentimental vibes
It's OK to dread the holidays and brace for them to pass because they are too heavy, too sad, too lonely to bear
It's OK to feel meh about the holidays
It's a complicated time of year for so many reasons--whether you observe them or not, they are a pervasive social force.
More than ever, don't pressure yourself with expectations. Go gently.
These too shall pass.
