the budget has passed the House & should be signed within an hour or so to reopen the government. the healthcare & SNAP cuts suck, but at least i can look forward to a paycheck soon-ish for the first time since 1 Oct. i’m a bit overwhelmed & conflicted. unsure if I should be happy or still angry 😕

Kylo is feeling better after this morning's scare. he has napped, eaten again, drank water, & is outside playing with Xena. also, my work for the day might actually be complete (i'm remote today) so now we wait for Senate votes with cautious optimism, especially since the House remains out 🫣

Kylo just stole & ate (i think) half of a pu-erh tea cake that was on my counter. i don't know if he ate it or not because he ran outside & of course i couldn't find it in the grass, dirt, & leaves. my biggest worry is the caffeine, i think, but on the phone with the vet now...

as today was supposed to be pay day & we did not get paid AGAIN, i've "paused" Netflix, cancelled AppleTV, & asked to postpone the due date on my electric bill.
this is the first time i've ever done this in my entire life. i am ashamed & angry.
once again, fuck this government shutdown.
