So yesterday NE Ohio got hit by severe storms and a tornado. I realized today that it was some sort of freak good fortune that we did not lose power this time around. Most of the neighborhood is out and has been since about 4:30 pm yesterday. After the five day outage we had last year around this time, I’m so grateful.

Well my neck is still killing me. Can’t turn to the right without blazing pain. Gonna be a long weekend at work. Scheduled with spine doc. Not available until 10/10. I am waitlisted. 😭

My mother’s conspiracy theory:
Trump picked Vance so he wouldn’t have to pay too much to revise his old campaign signs. All they have to do is put the V-A over the P-E. The N-C-E is already there.

About a week ago I told my husband I need to go get a haircut because when it gets too long it hurts my neck to try to brush. And today, I was brushing my hair and now I can’t turn my neck to the right. Can’t wait to get to the doctor and they ask what happened. 😤 #ChronicPain #spinabifida

Took a walk to the store with kiddo. My We needed some Dijon mustard for our chicken salad. We also needed sprinkle donuts, obviously. On the way back my 6yo asked, “Why do people put up Donald Trump flags if he is a villain.” I asked how she knew he was a villain. “Haven’t you ever even SEEN him, Mommy?”
Great point. We went on to discuss Kamala Harris and how I want her to be the first woman president (who is also half-Indian like my babe.) And now we are hopped up on donuts and feminism!

@elbutterfield @Christmas_Snow it’s been my favorite game since I was a teenager. I learned it at summer camp, got my own board taught the whole family. Now I play it every night after dinner with my 6 yo who has begun to beat me without my assistance. 😅

@Gladari he’s my fantasy VP pick. I would love it. Lots of commentators are saying he’s not experienced enough but I think we have had enough of career politicians at the highest levels. So he’s a little green… that means he’s the most in touch with the common folk.

Hubs: A bedtime snack again? Maybe you should try to eat more dinner.
Me: She ate all her dinner. Besides, it’s not actually about being hungry it’s a D-E-L-A-Y tactic.
6yo: (scandalized!) Delay?! I do not!! Can I have more crackers and some milk?

Now I am not even mad about the delay. Proud AF of the spelling interpretation.

Sunday funday! (<—Read with Sarcasm.)

🚨Code violet.
🚨 Rapid response.
🚨Stroke Alert.

Oh and don’t forget the quiet ☎️ we had to make for the hostile visitor who refused to take their pot-smoking outside…

What’s next?

@ToruOkada never let them know that you are actually quite efficient.

@ps9714 trying to figure out if this kind of publicity will ruin or help this guy. 😅

Of these, which is the most aesthetically pleasing board game:

@CarmenSlamdiego huh. That is certainly some food for thought. I ate 3 meatless meals today and now I’m wondering.

@NorCalCherylLyn yeah and I’m at work staring at a computer. It was the most gradual onset, my whole left eye felt like I was under water looking through a kaleidoscope up at high noon sun (through the water) and bam 💥 it stopped so abruptly I actually laughed out loud.

Ocular migraines are really freaking weird. That’s all.

#TFW you ask for pretzel rods to make chocolate covered pretzels and the spouse brings sticks. 🫠

TENSing the daylights out of my right upper trapezius, trying to pull my shoulder down and out of my damn ear. 😑

This fucking spine of mine.
