One thing about spending time with the aged. There is no rushing. You can be hurrying to get to them but once you're there you have to completely readjust. Currently trying to get my momma to an appointment and it's full stop here

Louisiana took months to sound alarm after two babies died in whooping cough outbreak
By Rosemary Westwood, WWNO When there’s an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease, state health officials typically take certain steps to alert residents and issue public updates about the growing threat. That’s standard practice, public health and infectious disease experts told KFF Health News and NPR. The goal is to keep as many other vulnerable people as possible from getting sick and to remind the public about the benefits of vaccinations. But in Louisiana this year, public health officials appeared to have not followed that playbook during the state’s worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years.

Now that I can stop and catch my breath... This month has been a lot. Good news is Mom is recovering and her spirits are good. Funny news is that the 21 year old niece tried to lecture me on how to use social media.

I sat down with data wiz @jeffasher.bsky.social to talk about how and why people think about crime in New Orleans, particularly the disconnect between what’s really happening and the fear a lot of people have. Here’s the Spotify link

I don't think I could remotely do this. I'm working on some Katrina projects at work and that's enough emotional cutting for me you're stronger than I am @skookses.bsky.social

Tonight I decided that @champsuperstar.bsky.social is a New Orleans angel which is a very special subsection in the hierarchy of angels. I will consult my experts to decide exactly where. But I'm thinking middle hierarchy. Maybe meat Powers

My coworker was just showing me a video about cajun language stuff. Those just give me flashbacks to my childhood and hanging out with my cousin in Lafayette and I was talking to him about that and my whole accent flipped.
Glad to know that country girl is still somewhere in my brain.
