The MAGA trolls on Threads are getting very aggressive and following Felon47's example of incorporating personal attacks. I was called "a wrinkled old prune with dementia" by an alleged female MAGAt whose profile pic was indicative of someone who's a hard drinker and heavy smoker. Bish, please.

Mama died fourteen years ago today. All shades of green were her favorites. She was my best friend, my best teacher, and probably the best human I will ever know. She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. The eleven years I cared for her were the hardest and most fulfilling of my life.

Hydrating as fast as I can to help my kidneys recover from the bilateral PCN exchange yesterday. Woke up 2:15 AM in pain. Pain meds finally kicking in at nearly 4 AM. They had to dig a new channel in my left kidney because the tube was halfway out which explains the pain I had before the exchange.

Proof of Life, August 3, 2025. The eyebrows should be black and much thinner. Ah well. At least I am trainable.

Well, by some algorithmic miracle, Threads has allowed me to return with full privileges. I'm still pissed off, but my followers seem to be happy and I am happy to be able to keep in touch with my people more easily. I will check in here for news and commentary, of course.

Catching up on BBC Proms today because my heart needs healing. I'm so grateful I had a dad who loved all kinds of music and who didn't mind if I hung out in his study while he worked and listened to Classical and Jazz and '50s/'60s Folk. Little did I know back then that he had conducted in college.

Sharing my Linktree again because my drinks are low. Doordash eCards are always appreciated via Gmail. I've just over $2 in Doordash credits and the same in my bank account. Nothing in other accounts. Anyhow linktree.ee/valeebo
Doordash can get groceries not just meals. Share at will. Thanks.

#nursinghomelife Today could be worse. I had enough Doordash $ to get coffee and an English muffin this morning and hot food last night. My sluggish PCN drainage is no longer sluggish. I'm down to two or three pain meds a day which is great since I can get six on bad days. I will have a couple of

Proof of Life. If that horrid woman gets a Federal pardon, I sure hope NY, at the very least, immediately arrests her before she escapes the country and charges her. No bail.

So glad I got bagels when I got water. They will sustain me today. Thanks to Angels I was able to get a real meal yesterday. If I can find my bowl, I'll have soup today. I prefer having one hot meal a day if I can. It's nurturing. Meals are rarely hot in LTC facilities.

I awoke early as usual to deal with my PCN pouches and even though I hydrated well before I went to sleep and throughout the night, my output was much lower than I expected. This is not good. I flushed my left tube twice and the second time there was pain from a blockage. It seems to have helped

Who watches The Great British Sewing Bee? It's my favorite gentle yet creative competition series tied with The Great Pottery Throwdown. Last night the episode paid homage to Vivienne Westwood and Versace. The winning garment needs to be copied endlessly for Pride and by drag artists.

I didn't have a VPN when Babylon Berlin first came out in 2017, so having discovered a source for it, it will be occupying my time the next several days. I don't speak or understand German, so the large captions are very helpful.

The worst thing about the last week before my bilateral PCN exchange is that I feel unwell much of the time. It's a general feeling of malaise with a bit of nausea thrown in for added ick. Most people with PCNs have them temporarily. Mine are part of me until my kidneys quit and dialysis is my only

A Thriend challenged people to post their first Facebook profile photo and their most recent one. The first was taken by a former colleague by the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis when Mama was still alive in 2008/9ish. The red lippy one is from my recent birthday posts.

The supper I was just offered was ham and cheese wrap (Yay! A cured meat!) and orange juice. I've had OJ once in the last year and not only did it screw with my potassium levels, it made me very sick to my stomach. It's not that hard, y'all. It really is not. Lunch was beans, breakfast eggs. Gah.

No edible meals today. The dependence on fish and red sauce and cured meats and potatoes and canned veg-all in for-profit LTC facilities make surviving as a CKD patient with fish and other food allergies very tricky.

I just discovered a show about Belgian firefighters called Under Fire. As one obsessed with shows featuring firefighters, this is the perfect show to watch in the wee hours while I am in vampire mode.
