So the area rug I ordered just came in and I'm quite pleased with how it looks. Now to get the walls ready before doing anything else. #HomeAdventures

A few other requests for our senators, if you’re calling them:

✅ Guaranteed backpay for furloughed and other unpaid but working feds

✅ Undo the October illegal firings at HHS

These are the senators at risk of caving.

Please call them - especially if you live in their state. Please tell them to not cave until you get guarantees on healthcare. (Not just empty promises from Rs)

What was the point in all this if Dems cave now without any guarantees?
Chuck Schumer and friends. #DoNotCave Red alert. Call these Senators.

Folks want you to stand up for something. Your hot air doesn't put food on the table, pay our rent, or cover our health care. Stop listening to the consultant class and hold the line.

Senate democrats planning to cave on the ACA TONIGHT. They are planning to agree to reopen the government with extreme premium increases STILL IN PLACE. If you've been on an ACA plan you know how disastrous that would be. Call your senators and call Chuck Schumer and tell them to hold the line

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Latest book nook done. It's very pretty, but it was a jerk to wire the lights. At least it fits my book shelf. #ShearsMakesAThing

Y'all, I'm asking for help for a member of my community to not be on the street when they've got a job in hand, and need to stay housed so they can start and keep that job.

I've seen folks help people with a last minute save, and Briggsy needs one today.
I’m begging.

I only have until today. If I don’t pay $1880, I’m on the street. I have a job, Ii start soon, and I don’t want to be homeless on my birthday. 😞

Please. I’m almost out of this; I don’t want to lose everything.

Please please give if you can. Please keep supporting this amazing human. Continue to share as well. If you stream, please mention this and highlight this endeavor.

Hope Robo Mom is able to get the care she needs and is released soon with minimal pain/discomfort.
I am truly humbled by all the support we've been getting. Thank you genuinely.

My mom is not in the clear yet and she might need a couple extra days in the hospital so, I had to raise the goal which is absolutely big and I'm so sorry but so far you have given me so much hope.
Hey everyone!

I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill.

I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps.

Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry.

Doing this post to keep myself accountable. Today's Major Things to Do:

1. Submit reimbursement forms to insurance for therapy.
2. Go to hardware store to get replacement lights for home office (Track lights are waaay too harsh)

Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls came out good. I may have overproofed the dough, but it came out okay.
