Looking forward to the email supposedly sent Saturday by OPM asking me to explain what I did last week using 5 bullet points. First, report as phishing again. Second, each bullet point of my reply will consist of mostly of acronyms. Let GROK chew on that.

Work, work, work. Because despite the accusations that federal employees are lazy and unproductive, there is always more work than there is time. Thursday was a ‘rain day’ (real rain), today 3 miles.

Monday 3 miles, Tuesday 1.4 miles, today 3.3 miles. Trying to get more consistency but it’s not easy.

At this point, I am thinking 1/3 of executive orders are written by Stephen Miller, 1/3 by Russel Vought and 1/3 by Onion staff writers. And Trump has no clue which are which.

A 3.5 mile day and notice that I now have until Monday midnight to NOT send a deferred resignation email.

It was a 3 mile day. My husband ate the last apple turnover so will need to hit WinCo tomorrow. So far no one I work with has taken Musk+Melon up on the deferred resignation offer.

4.5 miles today, lots of ‘angry’ steps. Trying to wrap my head around how senators with a D can vote yes on any of these nominees. They have to get over their obsession with ‘bipartisanship’. Republican senators have no interest in it! There’s no ‘bi’ if there’s only one party interested.

To me it looks like the tariffs gambit was a pretty effective stock market manipulation.

It appears that DEI programs will now be replaced with LIE and DIE programs. And those are not acronyms.

Aside from having to try to wrap my head around the idea that Musk seems to think VA hospitals are unstaffed on evenings and weekends, I did manage 5 miles along with a haircut and 6 loads of laundry. I have logged more 60 hour weeks than he can imagine.

I am starting to wonder if the Musketeers that Mr. Moneybags has infiltrated into OPM are hard at work sabotaging the system. Today, during normal working hours, VATAS is ‘offline for maintenance’. They never do maintenance during the day and a Friday to boot. Time and leave can’t be posted.

Changes to Medicare are felt immediately by patients in terms of coverage, co-pays, etc. What isn’t getting mentioned is what cuts in Medicare reimbursements to hospitals does to medical training programs. Hospitals with residency programs get a higher rate. Cut that and training programs go away.

My son joined me for today’s main walk on the Lower Las Vegas Wash Trail. We did 4.5 miles and I was able to walk at his pace even though he is 34 years younger than me. That felt good!

4 miles today. That’s it. This week has been exhausting.

Today I made 5.2 miles. Woo Hoo! Because I know a lot of you care about how veterans are treated, be advised that claims processing times will lengthen, healthcare access will decrease, medical education will suffer, research on critical issues like PTSD management will be stunted.

Today was a 3.5 mile day. Trying to absorb all the catastrophic executive orders, particularly those related to healthcare. Life expectancy will go down.

So, politics aside for the moment-4.5 miles yesterday and 3.5 miles today. Have to train for marches to come.

On the plus side, did 4.7 miles yesterday. Today was a bust-most of the day sitting in a car.

Tomorrow I will be outside, walking and listening to the birds. I will not be watching the inauguration of Eldon Muskrump.

Well, I’m in a 3 miles a day rut! In Arizona for a couple of days so maybe I can convince my brain to get back to 10k steps range which is 4.5 miles for me.

Apparently I am in yo-yo phase of walking . Yesterday only 2.5 miles, today 4.9 miles. Windchill of 24 degrees this morning did motivate me to go at a brisk pace!

4 miles today. Tomorrow, if the wind has died down, will be a trash pickup day. All kinds of paper and plastic on the common areas seen on my walks today. Gets caught up in the landscaping shrubs and plants.
