Spent yesterday in the ER with my son (he’s okay, passed a kidney stone had awful pain), and as we left we saw the baby.
Of course, we had to pull over to make sure it was okay. And then we saw its lil friend.
No babies were kidnapped, though discussions were had.

And more desperately and immediately, I need dog and cat food and litter. I’m out after tonight. And there’s no cash for it.
I can do an Amazon list, and Chewy is great, but they take days.
If you can help, please?

We’re drowning again. Still.
I don’t have rent for October. I’m not getting job interviews. I haven’t been able to fill prescriptions for my heart and thyroid meds. The electric bill is due.
I filed Chapter 7 last week.
I hate to ask. Help.

On Monday, I had a call with DCF in FL. My son’s Medicaid was canceled.
I emailed @angieforfl.bsky.social for help. Is she my representative? No. Mine is MAGA.
The next day, someone at DCF called and fixed it at Rep. Nixon’s request.
She and her staff work so hard for us.
We NEED her in DC.

I’m so excited about this. For many in Florida, there’s a deep personal loyalty to her as she was a vital resource during Covid and in all the years after. She’s truly represented all of us.
Vindman is probably already packed to move back to Virginia. He never wanted to be here.

Two years ago, my son took the dog out for a quick walk and returned home with an exhausted, skinny, bedraggled kitten.
“This is Bigby. She lives here now.” And he set her up in my bathroom.
Now she’s got a huge primordial pouch and a quirky cattitude. Happy Gotcha Day, Bigs!

Snuffleupagus, the dog who was left by owners we think might be worse off than we are. 😔 He’s 2, 70lbs, has terrible cataracts, has decided to fight with our dogs and stared into my soul while he peed in my sofa yesterday.
