One of my dogs recently started doing this thing where she stands by the back door and looks out, like she has to pee. But when I get up and go to the door, she immediately turns around and jumps into the seat I was in because that’s what she wanted all along.
Since this article is coming up again for some reason, this is what I think:
1. If USPS wants to redefine what a postmark means, that’s fine as long as it’s disclosed. They also get to change their delivery timeframes, it’s just the way it is. People who rely on a postmark date need to adjust.

Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off
Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.

A bunch of vivid dreams last night.
In one of them, I had been trying to set up an important meeting with VDOT. The morning of the meeting, I was getting ready but discovered that my mom had moved all of my pants to another room that I couldn’t access. I was so mad.

23 shots complete, 40.2 pounds lost. It has been up and down the past few weeks, but I seem to be back on track at a somewhat slower loss rate. Which is fine because my stomach has also been feeling mostly better.
When I was doing my shot this morning, I reflexively jumped back and pulled it out. Sigh.
Anyway, 20 shots complete, 38.4 pounds lost, 6.5 pounds to my original goal weight.

An example: In early July, I bought a box of Drumstick cones and ate all but one before I started taking zepbound. I still have that cone in my freezer. I just don’t have the desire to eat it or any ice cream.
I also don’t buy chips anymore for the same reason.

Like, Dominion has spent billions of dollars on the offshore project that’s under construction now. They had a Jones Act compliant ship made just for this purpose. Dominion is also under the gun because so many data centers are in its territory. And now this administration is trying to kill it

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.
