Bits and Pieces

Taken by Ten on his morning walk

Looks like it’s gonna be another gorgeous day—75º and mostly sunny. A good day for a long walk. I’ll have my last session with Judy, one of the visiting physical therapists, at 11AM. She and Philomena (my other PT—they come on alternate days) have been working with me for almost eight months now. I’m graduating to outpatient PT at the local Spaulding Rehab site (at the Y).

This feels big. When they began working with me, I could barely get out of bed and certainly not on my own. Now, I can hobble across the living room (about ten feet) without walker, cane OR spotters. With my rollator, I can walk half a mile. This is motherfucking HUGE.

In the “news”—the only thing I’ll say about Dollar Tree Palin’s (Brainless Boebert that is) latest imbroglio is this: sex work is a legitimate gig. I just hope that, if reports are true, she entered the field of her own volition. As for her alleged abortions—that's none of my business. No matter what, I’m glad she was able to choose to have safe, legal procedures.

Cake does NOT approve of willful idiots

Boobert’s a racist, (verbal) bomb throwing moron, who’s radically hypocritical, deeply unintelligent, a 45 worshipping, word salad generating moron, more interested in self-aggrandizing sound bites than representing Colorado's third congressional district. Twatzilla has NO fucking business being in government. 

At least her fellow word mangler, Herschel Walker, Georgia’s Republi/Facist senate candidate in (Walker lives in Texas) isn’t in office…yet.

It’s hard to take the GOP (Gang of Psychopaths) seriously when they keep putting forth such asinine cretins and half-witted puppets. Dylan’s song Idiot Wind  comes to mind.

You're an idiot, babe
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

On the opposite end of humanity, have you heard? Dolly Parton has donated $1 million to support pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. This is on top of all her other philanthropy.

Yep, THIS is how you do rich NOT like this.

Ten and I are gonna go look at MINIs this weekend. Bix has been a great, ridiculously economical beast but he’s getting old, needing more and more repairs AND the lack of suspension makes every damn trip into town absolute torture. Specifically, I want a two door, hardtop electric MINI in a deep grasshopper green. That'd be perfect!

I need to go on a road trip. Now that I'm getting better at walking, I want to go look at some mountains, other beaches and maybe even see some old chums. Since back replacements aren't as simple or common as hip replacements, I'm gonna have to wait for a car replacement.
