Today was hard. And long. And didn't end great. But at least I am clean. There's something about taking a shower that makes everything feel manageable, even if it is falling apart around you.

Small win for today: I made it through the day without relying
on energy drinks just to function.

Gotta love those weeks where it's only Tuesday, you're already at about 28 hours on the week, still have at least 3 more to go to even get to an okay place of behind then you come home to double stressful news. I feel like I'm vibrating out of my skin.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

What is it about wearing shoes that makes my brain think it is time to do ALL THE THINGS??? Every time I need to get housework or yardwork done, if I just....keep shoes on my feet, it is so much easier to do it.

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

Boy Howdy, the afternoon sleepies hit me like a brick wall about 30 minutes ago - keeping my brain awake is a FIGHT. Gotta love when your mental, emotional, and physical health all gang up against you and demand rest at inconvenient times.

Can someone explain why something like this can be buried in a tax bill instead of being required to be its own piece of legislation?
Buried in the tax bill: "no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act."

Feeling everything deeply is a blessing....until you're overwrought and get information during the work day that causes you to feel deeply and then you're crying quietly at your desk while trying to stay productive cause you have a trainee in your office with you.

The one good thing that Trump has given us:
👉 Clarity

To see that Republicans like Rubio can't care less about American Values.

Check this out to see how they betray every single amendment in the Bill of Rights 👇

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Members of Congress should take note.

☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121.

Defend Medicaid!

Charlie would like everyone to know he is doing his due diligence at making sure I stay on my toes, beginning with a post breakfast on the bed hairball at 641am. It's hard work being a cat, and now he must recharge in the sun.

Number of HHS Staff Cut: 10,000
Cost of generic asthma medication without insurance: $300/month
Number of regulations passed to improve chronic health or the food chain: 0
Don't mistake a press release for action. RFKJ has done NOTHING to decrease chronic disease and much to hurt children.

Driving past the cow pasture on the way to work. Must fight the urge to moo at the cows & signal to brain that we are in vacation mode. There's not a second field during the drive to turn off vacation mode by mooing a second time. I blame my dad for teaching me we have to moo at the cows for trips.

Do you have US Veterans in your life? Ask them if they'll honor their oaths.

"There's a part in the UCMJ that gives every soldier, sailor, Airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, & now Space Forceman the DUTY to not obey an illegal order. I'm asking my fellow Veterans to stand with the Constitution." 🇺🇸
