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 😕

and now my dryer is dead & no longer under warranty. when it rains, it effing pours. i am losing my mind.

looking like I’ll be paid soon, i guess, but won’t be able to afford health insurance now. not really a win.
November 10, 2025 at 9:06 AM
i’m going to bed because if the shutdown ends overnight & i have to go in regular time tomorrow (as opposed to working remotely) then i have to get up at 4am.
November 10, 2025 at 3:20 AM
they’re voting on cloture. yes, i wanna get paid, but not at the cost of others losing their health care or SNAP. i’m nervous & this sucks.

made it home from work & got the bins out just before the storm hit. scarfed some leftovers & now i’m just gonna veg in front of the boob tube.

are we ready for another day of the us senate accomplishing nothing whilst pontificating another banal round of "I Know You Are, But What Am I?" & mr speaker knowing (& doing) absolutely nothing about anything? 😡

good morning & happy Sunday to all 🌞

still no pay 😡
By a vote of 53-43, the Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to S.3012, Johnson Shutdown Fairness Act, upon reconsideration.

Democrats voting in favor: Senators Lujan, Ossoff, and Warnock

Not voting: Senators Cornyn, Fetterman, Moran & Tuberville
November 7, 2025 at 11:51 PM
not feeling hopeful about this pending Senate vote. they’re still just bitching 🙄

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 🫣
November 7, 2025 at 6:49 PM
so, happy Friday? praying now for the government to re-open 🙏 so i can pay bills & buy food n stuff.
November 7, 2025 at 1:57 PM
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.

i hate jumping puzzles. i suck at them & they are not fun & they are why i cannot complete maps. 'bout to rage quit GW2 because i've been unable to climb this effing tower for 2 HOURS now that someone did in a video in 45 seconds.
