It's 04:47 and I'm still awake. Usually fall asleep in 2 min flat (staying asleep is a whole 'nother thing). Finally figured out that I took Excedrin instead of acetaminophen. #sleep #caffeine

Finally got my COVID booster (insurance hadn't added it to their formulary when I tried a few weeks ago) and I was also due for a tetanus shot. Got both. Forgot how much tetanus makes my arm hurt. Totally worth it. 10/10 would get jabbed again. #vaccine #covid #tetanus

They finally actually looked at the receipt instead of insisting that I only ordered one order. Called me back to apologize and just delivered the second dinner.

Absolute worst service from Mi Rancho in Staunton. Ordered online for delivery - $60.00 total for 2 orders of burritos deluxe. Order arrived w/ only 1 order. Restaurant absolutely refuses to work with us to either give a refund or deliver the 2nd order. Have been eating there for years 🤔

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

My work days are typically relatively boring. Hours at my desk working on the computer. Today was bracketed by parking lot adventures - walking past a man sitting on a lamppost base smoking a joint and a dog locked in a car. Called security for the little dog, waved at the guy smoking a joint.
