I had a deep suspicion the anti-maskers were mostly mad about having a harder time picking their noses. But now I'm wondering if they just literally wanted to eat shit.

A good page-turner poet REQUIRES rereading because there will be so much to go back and absorb and savor!

Now I'm wondering if the hemochromatosis may be related to getting serotonin syndrome. Maybe if I got more extra leechings* I could take SSRIs.

*modern treatment is mostly just to donate a little extra blood but it turns out there is *something* for which blood-letting IS the appropriate thing.

I have read some poetry that was truly a page turner I could not put down and gobbled up like a starved dog! I planned to read Kishwar Naheed's "The Distance of a Shout" slowly and then couldn't help myself.

But then I don't even know who you're referencing so maybe don't ask me.

I had frost on the windshield this morning so parts of ABQ did freeze! 99% of my plants survived though so it wasn't much of a freeze.

"Are you OK, human? I love you and need you and I worry when you do the weird water thing!"

Py actually likes to sit in the steam beside the shower and did once attempt to get IN the shower and found it very distressing to discover a human standing there getting drenched.

I have a generally decent city council person so I also let her know when she's done good so she knows I have her back on things like fighting for tenants rights & public transit. Like with raising young, positive feedback is important to help them do better.

Do I even want to know what "blistering" is? Just like burning someone?

My ELCA church has all kinds of stuff on hand to give away but formula would probably take a day to procure or would just give cash so she could get what kind baby likes best.
