* I hope with all my heart that this is the final nail in the caucus system. I've lived in states that did primaries and I live in a caucus state and primaries are so much easier, especially for people with disabilities or jobs or transportation issues.
* Thanks to a kind benefactor, we're either okay or close to okay. I am waiting for money to move where it needs to go. I should have a clearer idea of where exactly we are sometime next week when I've paid big bill and bought special girl cat food.
My foot is still a mess, but there are signs that the enhanced therapy may be helping. It was a slow recovery two plus decades ago when I was a lot healthier. Everything takes ages to heal now that I'm ruin, so enough incremental improvement to render the leg less dangerous is still pretty good in my book and an upward trend is a lot better than a plateau.
It is also helping that I could start taking my primary AS med again Monday, and today I was well enough to take the second dose, so I have hopes of more function tomorrow.
The whole too tired to do much Wednesday thing has put me waaay behind. I prioritized 45 and the election, which should be fairly obvious, but I have a ton of prep from both days on other stuff that I simply hadn't energy to chew through properly.
