I cut my finger pretty bad. Had to go urgent care. Made me realize my privilege to have decent health insurance. Total cost was under $50. Still a lot but better than having no coverage.

I didn’t participate in any Black Friday shopping, and just canceled #Waze. Now I need to make the move off Spotify.

Happy Thanksgiving! It definitely hard to be happy and celebratory this year (looks around) but at least spend time with people that bring you peace. I’ll spend time with friends that align with my morals, which my family does not. This is not a day to force yourself to be fake for family.

I’ve been in a somber crying mood. Not sure why. But I can withstand the call when asked to feel emotions.

I was finally able to get my COVID vaccine today. I had to jump through hoops and explain why I was at higher risk. Now I’m annoyed wondering what happened to my choice? If I want to inject something into me (like brain worm guy) why can’t I? Because it’s science and that’s yucky? Ugh.

That’s the amount I am humbly asking you to chip in to my campaign today to help me defeat Brian Mast. Yes, just $5.
$5 because I am a firefighter, paramedic, union member, and working class patriot running to represent Florida’s 21st Congressional District.

I find it weird that for the last few years when I have a nightmare …. My mom seems to always be involved. More often than not, she is the leader of my problems.
I wonder what that means? Maybe I should go back to therapy.

My cent and half opinion: don’t sign up or register for a protest. Just go if you so feel inclined. It’s not the time to be on a “protest list” let’s be real.

I got my flu vaccine yesterday! Hoping to score the Covid one at the end of September. Feeling a little bleh. But super happy I was able to get it.

The fall semester starts on Monday 😬 I’m so close to graduating. Taking one or two classes a semester is making the process slow. But I’m moving in the right direction.

Happy Friday lovely people. Fight the establishment! Stand up for others! Lead with kindness! But not for fascists - they deserve a kick in the ass.

Took the day off. Going paddle boarding with my boyfriend. It always helps me spirit when I get out in nature. Cross fingers I get to see some wildlife. Wishing everyone a great start of the week 💙

As bittersweet as it is, I’m glad I don’t have children. I can’t imagine the anxiety and fear parents are dealing with daily. Even worse for parents of special needs children.
It’s no wonder the birth rate is down. The government does not care about children.
