We said goodbye to our sweet Sasha girl this week. We couldn’t have had a better family dog for our boy to grow up with—sweet, docile, friendly, calm, and never met a person she didn’t like (but get the little yappy dogs away please and thank you). We were lucky to be loved by her.

Where the Red Fern Grows. I sobbed so hard I made myself sick from that book.
Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you?
A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

My work day alternated between trying to figure out if our multi-6 figure federal grant still exists (🤷♀️), the new ways
this administration is going to end up hurting & killing our dementia clients (🤬), and ways to help our org survive financially(💸).
My brain and soul are tired.

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives:
Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could.
That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Thing I said at work yesterday: There’s a time and place for the “everything will work out” folks, but this moment in time we might benefit more from those of us who can game out worst case scenarios.

I have yet to purchase a single Christmas gift/stocking stuffer/food item. We haven’t decorated. I’ve not played a single Christmas song.
Recovering from surgery is really cramping my Christmas style, but it’s also not stressing me out, so trade offs?

You know what never occurred to me until I started working at a dementia nonprofit?
What happens to someone with dementia if their caregiver is deported?
Anyway, guess what kinds of conversations we’ve been having in earnest at work since the election?

Channeling my rage and anxiety about the election results into finding ways my nonprofit can help protect our already vulnerable target population from the incoming administration.
At least it feels like a place where I can *try* to do something.

I’m having shoulder surgery in 3 weeks, and every time I start to try and prep shit/buy things I need/set things up…my brain entirely shuts down.

A petty complaint*: someone brought savory bagels (onion, everything, cheese, sesame, plain) to the office but only brought sweet cream cheeses (strawberry, honey, blueberry).
It feels intentionally malicious, frankly.
*in the ongoing avalanche of horrors around us.

Whatever the realities of an individual’s cognitive status (even someone I LOATHE TO MY CORE), the way so many people are talking about cognitive decline in general is very dismaying as someone who works in a dementia nonprofit.

I just don’t know what to do with someone who knows Trump went on national television and said Democrats want to kill babies after they’re born and immigrants eat pets and still votes for him.

I’m still over on the bad former bird place for a variety of reasons, and somehow the “algorithm” keeps deciding that my For You should be largely populated with catholic nuns, priests & influencers, college softball prospects/commitments, and Ted Cruz ads.

I’m watching the opening ceremonies late, and yes, it’s weird and French and unique, but I’m mostly struck by how much the location…makes it all feel really small. Instead of grand and over the top, all the performances feel minimized and small.
