We have a family Halloween party at 4 and then an adult party for h and I later tonight. Should be lots of fun! And the weather is beautiful, after a wash out yesterday.
I know this is still a huge bill, but it’s starting to feel like…wtf is left?
There are so many damn things left in the bill. The framework is a little messy but on the healthcare side we got Medicaid expansion federal fix (this is my life’s work so I’m pleased even though the policy mechanism sucks and it’s short-term), @maternal mortality, including postpartum coverage, and possibly RX although I dont have details yet. In every category, including housing, @children and families, food security etc we had some gains and some losses.
If this gets through it is still overall a HUGE win. It’s not a done deal yet. Hoping the Biden presser this morning lights a fire. He’s under the wire because he leaves today.
I know, it’s still a good bill. I’m reading through the White House statement now, and it’s making me feel better.
My BFF and I are trying to figure out a night that we can just go away to a hotel together, and the way it’s going, it may be January before it happens. If I’m not busy, she is. If she’s not busy, I am. It’s crazy.
Add me to the list of people totally overwhelmed- at work and home. I have SO much I need to do, and I get dizzy every time I stand up, and I’m exhausted. The one med I’m on can cause drowsiness and dizziness- looks like I lucked out with both. 😭
So much of what others said. I’ve started following a lot of plus size Insta people and health at every size, anti-diet accounts. My weight does not define my worth. I have a lot of other great qualities that make me worthy of love and friendship.
Patsy Baloney, I could barely tell which pic was which!
One of the meds I’m on for the kidney stone is giving me headaches. Actually, I’m wondering if I’m just not drinking enough water and it’s caused by dehydration. 😭
I get some ideas from Pinterest and Tik Tok, in addition to those mentioned above. Just get some cheap makeup to play around with, and then you can invest in better products once you know what you like. Although there are some great drug store products, too!
I was up at 4am and then couldn't get back to sleep. Finally dozed off around 5:30 only for my alarm to go off at 6. I'm treating myself to Starbucks at lunch.
Dd wore the I Love Science t-shirt again that you sent- she loves it! And as a former biotech major, I love that she loves it!
The town hall last night was awesome! I was only 5 rows back, so I got a good look at everything. The set was beautiful, Biden was funny. He’s skinnier than I expected, and I thought he’d look older in person, but he didn’t at all, he looked really good. Dr. Biden is beautiful.
The rug for our family room was just delivered, 3 weeks after I placed the order. Can’t wait to see how it looks! After I clean all the toys off the floor, lol.
Wow, so my experience was very different. I mentioned it to my PCP, she asked me some screening questions, and prescribed me Adderall. I’m sorry so many of you have had to spend so much money to be diagnosed. That’s awful.
Probably the least helpful unasked for advice after "calm down" when someone is upset: telling an insomniac who is too tired for a late dinner is "you need to relax." Thanks, dude. Insomnia I have dealt with literally from my earliest memories was just missing that profound advice. Psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, sleep experts, they've been missing that advice all these years.
Ugh, I’m sorry. Reminds me of IF, when people were like “just relax!”
I was just scrolling through FB and was reminded that I have a FB acquaintance who has these taken regularly, she’s some sort of “ambassador” for the photo studio or something? She posts them on IG and FB. I think she looks amazing and the pics are great quality - she’s married with young kids like me and I just can’t imagine sharing these with my social media crowd. Like DD’s daycare teachers and the other soccer moms just don’t need to see me in lingerie.
Lol, I’d be ok if it didn’t show my face but yeah…no one but h needs to see my whole ass out.
