I'm feeling super anxious tonight. I don't know why. No, scratch that, I think I know part of it.
We talked about vicarious trauma in the group supervision I lead for unlicensed clinicians. We also talked about the Social Worker who was stabbed to death in SF by one of his clients.

Hey loves, we have come to the midpoint between pay periods and once again could use some help this month. Current needs are groceries and meds (and we're $75 in the red thanks to bank fees). Any help or shares are hugely appreciated, donation and wishlift links in the next post:

Great reporting and a knockout final line:
“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

At MPR now: Across the Twin Cities, ICE agents and activists are playing a high stakes cat-and-mouse game. The goal is to make ICE agents' jobs as difficult as possible, and protect their immigrant neighbors.

I'm annoyed. It is the last day of my week off, and I have been achy and exhausted all week. I am going to eat lunch and go take a nap. Just annoyed.

As I am getting up there in years, I took the step of signing up for one of those critical illness insurances that also gives you a payment for taking a preventative test. I hadn't yet gotten around to my pap this year, so I went online and found I could make a claim for the chest Xray I had done

Today, I had a non-traditional, to me Thanksgiving dinner. I made a tri-tip roast (already marinated so I didn't have to fuss with it), collard greens (boiled with smoked turkey leg), and macaroni and cheese. I had to put the greens on pretty early, but it all was only about 45 minutes work.

My guts have been finicky all day. I got some yogurt to hopefully help that out, but I'm going to just go to bed first tonight. I got my shopping done for the next week or so and I'm exhausted tonight.
Sleep well.

I've been seeing a few posts about the outrage that rape has been used by Israeli soldiers during the Palestinian genocide. I, too, am outraged by rape, and I also cannot find myself outraged by those acts alone. The cruelty is the point. It is why the whole must be taken into account.

First working day off my week off. Typical that my ADHD brain wants to do EVERYTHING at once. My body is still tired and my stamina isn't great. I have to plan things out in a measured way.
So, today is for one load of laundry. Prepping my Whatnot sales to mail. Making dinner. That's it.

The DOE can fuck all the way off. Shortage of social workers/therapists, teachers, nurses, physical therapists? Let's just do what we can to make students for these degree programs not eligible for "professional degree" loan programs.

I'm really hoping I wake up feeling able to work tomorrow because rest can be kind of boring. And I have all week next week to be bored on vacation.
P.S. I won't be bored but it would also be nice to feel up to doing something during the time I'm off.
How are all of you?

I'm glad I insisted on more after the chest Xray of my lung infection showed nebulous "scarring." I had a CT on Monday night and it just came back, pointing to continued probable infection. So another round of antibiotics.
And it caught something else.

My roommate tells me that the earthquake that had its epicenter 2.5 miles from my house sounded like a huge crack. I just hope it wasn't my house and it was the earth 'cause I can't afford to fix that.
It was only a 3.6 and lasted for just a moment. Nothing has fallen down.

I need to understand what Vico means to my brain. I have now had 2 dreams about them in the past 2 weeks. This one this morning was literally as I was oversleeping. I went to the smallest Comicon ever and they were there as the only OFMD crew.
