Hello to you, person following me! If you're here, I'm blaming @itsmephee.bsky.social 😘, or possibly our amazing #AltGov folks.
An introduction:
I'm a mom, a partner, a lifelong center-leftist. I post about politics, video games, crafts, cooking, and random nonsense. I'm happy to have you here!

Today was a first. 3.5 years into kiddo's T1D dx, we had a major pump malfunction that had him over 200 BG overnight and much of the day. No alerts, no warnings, just our knowledge that this was completely abnormal.
Pump changed and manual correction saved the day.

Legacy media lost my respect long ago. But there's a HUGE problem across all journalistic media. It's not the kowtowing, not the lowball questions, not the "both-sides"-ism, not even the partisanship. It's this:

I sometimes forget how old I am, but then I remember there probably aren't a lot of 47-year-olds rolling up to drop their kid off at school rocking out to USAO or Extra Terra, and that might be why I get odd looks.

No tax on tips or overtime starting Jan 1st doesn't mean much when people can't afford to tip and businesses aren't scheduling overtime because they're busy cutting jobs by record numbers.

To everyone who "wouldn't vote Harris" in 2024 because they "didn't want another Washington insider in the WH," look, I get it. The fed gov't has been crap for a long time. But the idea was to elect someone who'd improve it, not use it for personal enrichment and vendettas.

What I've learned over the past 10 weeks:
It's surprisingly easy to get used to not being hungry.
I took yesterday "off" (didn't count calories), but one modest plate of food (turkey, broccoli, roasted potatoes, 2 small rolls, side salad) had me STUFFED.
Today: 583 cals, body says "that's fine."

We've lived in this house for just over two years. I bought a stud finder within the first month. Today, at long last, I finally hung towel hooks in the bathrooms.

Tomorrow is my 2-month follow-up on this medicated diet.
Current bets for my loss this past month are 7 (son), 15 (partner), and 10 (me).
A small part of me is hoping I shock my doctor with my progress.

Pretty sure a convo something like this will happen with my Dr. next week:
Dr: "I said last visit your weight loss would slow down the second month."
Me: "Yup."
Dr: "What did you do, take that as a challenge?"
Me: "um....kinda?"

Can we please, for once, NOT NORMALIZE THE OUTRIGHT INSANITY of a sitting US President publicly calling for the murder of US citizens for "reminding our military that they are legally obligated NOT to follow unlawful orders"?
Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

I can't decide how I feel about calculus. Initially I hated it, but I'm beginning to see where it can be useful; problem is, I don't see myself falling into the careers where it'd be used. So like...it's kinda cool, but not as practical as Trigonometry or pervasively useful as algebra.
