A lot of people are having a lot of issues. I don't know if Mercury is retrograde, the election was highly upsetting no matter what the political leanings of the viewers, or just continuing need to keep social distancing during the pandemic because of inadequate vaccination numbers, but everyone is at the ends of their ropes.

Don't tie nooses, but tie rope swings, and yet, we persist. Time will help some things, and other issues might be solvable after food, a shower, and sleep.

Ani lo yodaya. I do not know, and that may be the beginning of wisdom.

I asked for something with early Graham and hearing about Simon.

I'm feeling like my shoulder got slammed with a cricket bat, and the rest of me with a boffer weapon.

I'm drinking water, taking appropriate levels of acetaminophen, and going to take a nap 😴.

Still better than having COVID, I have congenital heart disease and an autoimmune disorder. I *remember* the ventilator after my open heart surgery, and I really can't wish THAT on even someone I hate, for harming mine.

I asked for something to remember Mom F.

Anybody else want to watch an Atlantic City Hotel with the ex-president's name be imploded as a public health hazard? 9 AM Eastern, 6 minutes from now: https://www.atlanticcitywebcam.com/

By 9:08 AM, the black tower eyesore was gone under the smoke. By 9:11 AM, the white tower of a different hotel still stood.

🎶As the finale of the 1812 Overture plays in my head 🎶 BOOM!

From one of my assignments in the History of the American Civil Rights Movement course -

I'm going to read this LATER, and not in an insomnia haze right now. https://www.fastcompany.com/90594139/5-simple-visualizations-that-help-make-sense-of-the-capitol-insurrection

Leaving this on public, comment intelligently or be skewered as a fool when I wake up, got it?

Discussion welcome on how to present this to the people who still believe a lying liar who ALWAYS lies.

I'm from Atlantic City, I doubt anyone else reading this has had to deal with him in person. My family has. The only time he tells the truth, is if it's unnecessarily cruel and harms others.

I had three separate email chains going on with my university last week, so was deliberately ignoring most of the news. Yes, I did notice, yes, we're all safe.

Issues that needed to be resolved:

1. I never got the emails to take my Major Field Test. Why wasn't I coded with Psychology AND Liberal Studies majors? Everything was resolved, I took the exam yesterday, and scored 176/200, 89th percentile. Definitely above average!

2. Am I going to be reviewed for the graduation audit in both majors? Yes, I have gotten the confirmation emails that I'm expected to graduate with a dual AOS from TESU on March 12, if all of the transfer credits are received on time.

3. My professor for Experimental Psychology had not reviewed my assignments or answered emails since early in December. Can someone check on the professor? And could I get my assignments graded somehow, for the final grade? Mentors office wasn't able to contact the professor either and I'm still a little concerned, but they did get someone to grade my assignments, and I have a 95 for final grade in the class. Yay A!

I would like a Dreamwidth icon size small dumpster fire picture.

I would also like a line drawing type dumpster, trash, landfill fire, Gehennim is good, that I can convert to embroidery. I want to make a custom badge that wouldn't be too out of place on Elizabethan or Victorian samplers.

Yes, I will pay for these, paypal or Dreamwidth points! I would also trade you another embroidered badge for the artwork, if preferred.
