Not going to get into specifics, but I just need to say: while all of the healthcare system is incredibly broken, the way seniors in need of 24/7 care are handled is especially egregious. People at all ages deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion.

Younger child read a story at school about the parade on Thanksgiving and now I’m watching it on TV for the first time in 30+ years.
I forgot how slowly it moves.

Reeeeeally annoyed that the overpriced package of frozen sausage I bought at the local market was not just 5 months past the “best by” date but also light by over 20% (by weight).

(I am very excited about pie.)
(I panicked that there wouldn’t be enough pie so I made two 10-inch pies. Plus a gluten free chocolate pudding pie.)

Well, it took ages but I’ve got two 10” pecan pies in the oven.
Sifted through another few dozen cat profiles, none that fit everything we’re looking for. Is there such a thing as a cat yenta?? No? Sigh.

Whew. Walked to pick kids up from school, then 1.5 miles to an appointment, then down a block or so to one grocery store, then 3/4-1 mile to a second grocery store, then 1/2ish mile home. Hauling cantaloupes because my children love them and they were on sale.
Today counts as arm AND leg day.

Once again, I scream into the void at rescue organizations that post adoption profiles for cats online - PLEASE STOP CHECKING “OK with Other Cats” WHEN THE BIO CLEARLY SAYS THE ANIMAL NEEDS TO BE AN ONLY CAT.
Please. I am begging you.

Oh, boo. The cat we were interested in adopting appears to no longer be available (after we finally submitted an application).
Maybe the cat distribution system will work out for us another time.

Today, I baked a tiny cake for my younger child’s birthday (yes my children have birthdays only a few days apart right around Thanksgiving, it is MADNESS), wrapped birthday presents, and dissociated over cat pictures while trying not to think about my aging parent’s deteriorating condition.

When social security collapses, we will be told that it was inevitable.
It was not.
All of this is entirely optional. The Republicans are choosing to destroy the programs that keep millions of people who they hate alive, fed, and housed.

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

I am baking even more cake (well, cupcakes). The things that happen when you have 2 kids with birthdays 5 days apart.
Also I made a butt-ton of smooth jelled cranberry sauce (I love the canned stuff but it’s too sweet for me these days). I set a reminder to just buy a goddamn food mill next fall.

I was not prepared for how frequently 10yo boys call each other “bro”.

Wish me strength today as I host a birthday party for 8+ 9/10 year old boys.
My the house (and my eardrums) survive long enough to endure 20+ 6-year-olds next weekend.

Honestly. Whenever I hear someone claim that Socialism doesn't work, or is somehow worse than the Capitalist system that's choking us to death, I know that I can safely disregard anything else they have to say.
Their voice becomes that of an adult in a Peanuts special, though, which is always fun.

Whoops, I just managed to cut three fingertips on my left hand while cleaning the range hood. (It’s fine, just annoying more than anything else. Did not realize the edges of the stainless steel baffle would be so sharp! 😬)
