Today, I’m starting a new treatment for Crohn’s—it’s a drug that wasn’t available when I was diagnosed 15 years ago—and I’m eternally grateful for it. I hope I’ll start to feel better soon.
But it’s terrifying to start a new medication with an administration that’s trying to dismantle the system.

I’m grateful for a round of vaccines before I start a new course of immunosuppressants. I’m also terrified of what this new Administration will do to our public health system.

Last night, we went down to the Capitol to pay our respects to President Carter. It provided a beautiful opportunity to reflect on a lifetime of service, the growing chasm between the rich and poor, and what it means to care for others.
In many ways, his funeral has felt like a funeral for America.

Do we love our historic house? Yes.
Do we love maintaining it? No.
This looks like the year of chimney, roof, foundation, boiler, and stove repairs and I hate it.
(This is our original, 1923 fireplace, the cause of today’s headache.)
