Had to put the dog down Friday (old age) and the cat is very depressed. It’s breaking my heart. 😥

Her last picture and her sister missing her. 🥲

Daughter left for grad school. I immediately started turning her room into my office. Going through a box in the closet and found a bunch of MY graduate school papers and articles. This article peaked my interest. My social stress is pretty high right now, how’s yours?

Article titles Social Stress and Chronic Illness.

Articulation of psychosomatic Approach with Sociological Level of Analysis.

For reference, I’ve never sat in this expensive teak deck chair a friend gave me. The international cat of leisure sure enjoys it.

Can’t wait until mine are ready to pick! I think it might be the first year I get a really good amount. Finally tried hanging pie tins from a number of branches to scare away the squirrels. Seems to have worked.

After my recent experience I am envious. The system here is beyond broken. It’s killing people and ruining lives. Here’s my itemized bill for recent emergency gallbladder surgery. My portion was almost $6000 after almost $18,000 in insurance premiums for the year. Glad you are getting good care!

Not happy about the pollen, still living her best life (at grandma’s).

Well this is how much it cost to have emergency gallbladder surgery. So fu$k them.

Healthcare in this country is beyond broken. I just got the itemized bill for an emergency gallbladder removal and 4 days hospital stay. $225,000. In addition there was another $8000 for the anesthesiologists. I was 2 weeks from not having insurance.

This was a couple weeks ago, but similar situation this morning with the other cat. All were dismayed the fireplace did not get turned on. The dog is way too nice.

The Walk for Peace ended in Annapolis today. Cold and windy, but that didn’t seem to stop too many people.

People have HAD it! Just saw this on the way home from dropping my daughter off at work. Across the street were people with signs. It’s 17 degrees but after I do some prepping for the storm, I think I may head over.

Here’s another one coming up for the folks in RI.

I can’t wait to vote this asshole out of office. I will be campaigning hard for whoever his opponent may be.

Selling the bikes with bad juju. Time for new adventures.

Hahaha! Someone gave my father the perfect gift.

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Merry Christmas and may you all like your gifts better than my ungrateful dog. 🤨

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Almost as good as mine. A few years ago my son said “how come we don’t have a nativity scene?” Crafty me to the rescue. This year my daughter jazzed it up with an international theme using terracotta warriors, Swiss cows, dinosaurs…

You are gorgeous, CRAZY Theo says hi.

Probably the 25th-ish year as my tree topper. 😂 Some traditions are worth keeping.

I have masters in demography. This one spoke to me.

My daughter went right back at it after dinner!

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Dinner almost ready. In the meantime, mandatory kid crafting time

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Just got this from a friend. I’m glad it’s not too early to start drinking. Unfortunately I’ll be hitting the road to my Thanksgiving destination soon. Thank god it’s only a 2+ hour drive.

😂 My sister in law tells me this may not be enough? I get like a dozen at my house, if I’m lucky.

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Since his catholic school traumatized wife is a wine snob, these should be a hit! I have no idea why they still speak to me. 😂

My daughter’s cat is living with me and every night I get a laugh going into my room at bedtime.

When I was asked if I wanted a Republican sample ballot, I stopped, took off my sunglasses, looked him dead in the eyes and said “fuuuuck no.” He said “we have a lot of them.” I said “I bet you do!” I retrospect, I should’ve challenged him to give me 5 reasons to vote GOP. I need a good laugh.

Here’s the schedule. I feel dirty just googling that creep. First picture that popped up was him with Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens. 🤮

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

A little jealous, I’ve been dealing with this crap all summer. If it’s not this, it’s stink bugs on the cukes and squash. Worst year in a long time. 😒

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

The need to kick him off this committee.

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

I collected a ton of seeds from my flowers last summer, put them in the shed and forgot about them! I’m hoping they’ll still be good next spring. I do have random plants coming up where I must have dropped seeds when collecting.

My daughter just sent this to me. Spotted on her way home in DC. 😆

I got this last fall and have been dying to try it!

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

I have a cucumber problem, not complaining.

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Looks great! I went to CT and MA for a wedding and quick vacation and came home to this! At least the garden didn’t die while I was gone.

Make it a rule the portrait has to show what you looked like when you served.

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

My daughter’s cat is pretty chill. 😂 The dog is chill, but the other cat is under the bed.

020

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Someone needs to have a good day! I let my daughter’s cat keep me company while I worked.

The last run with Jim at UVA. 😟

000

mapchick.bsky.social @mapchick.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

UVA still seems pretty white too me. My daughter just graduated. Jim Ryan seems very engaged with the students. He’s got a good sense of humor too. And he invited my daughter to the President’s suite for a football game (she started a non partisan political club on campus).
