I suppose on the plus side, if I need surgery, I’ll have already met my deductible? 🤣 look at me half full glasses and all that.

Crystal @jikei723.bsky.social · 7h

They called with my estimate. $596.
$500 of that is my deductible (which I know is crazy low, but I pay the highest tier premium for it. Probably not next year though 😒) the other is my 10%.
Too late for a bake sale?

My teen watched a documentary about him and gave me the run down. How disappointing for him. He didn’t deserve that. RWNJ are just vile.

He should face additional fines for every day he refuses to swear in Grijalva. Further, a rule needs to be set that a new member is required to be sworn in within x number of days.

Crystal @jikei723.bsky.social · 1d

The House not only shouldn’t be getting paid for not showing up, Johnson should be receiving hefty fines every single day he has them out of session.

Grand goblin is on the other side of the room separating apparatus- I hear a plastic bag, so I ask what he’s doing.
“I have five apples.”

He does. He has 5 apples lined up on my ottoman. A bite taken out of each. Honeycrisp.

I need to start buying him his own bag. Of Fiji or something.

Night time is the gd worst.

New brace is one of those they give people after knee surgery. Has a hinge so you can bend your knee. But they locked mine. Super comfortable.
