A small update
Just wanted to let everyone know things are getting back to normal here. Sort of. Ron made supper tonight of fried chicken parts and French fries. I was going to clean it all up, but James came out of his room and did it. I won’t sugar coat this, my physical ability has lessened a lot more. I over did for too long during the hurricane evacuation and when we first got home, and now I am having to increase my medication every dose to help control my pain levels. The pain is not just muscles, now the spine shots have worn off and I feel the bones in my spine screaming with pain. My own fault. Both James and Ron worried greatly when we first got home and so much work needed to be done that we all pushed ourselves. Now I sit until I cannot stand it, then go lay down, get up and repeat. The thing is I cannot stay in bed at night too long. Last night I went to bed about 8 PM. Got up at 11 PM, stayed up until 2:30 AM, went back to bed and was awake in pain by 6 AM. Not getting a lot of quality sleep. Odie is walking badly in the morning but when he gets up and walks around in the afternoon he seems to move much better. We have covered the roofs with great thanks to Randy who sent us the best tarp when we couldn’t get any. We have all our laundry done. Ron spent most of the last two days raking the lawns, clearing the debris, mowing the area, raking the area, repeat. The park office announced out of the blue that we only have until Friday to get all our debris and damaged stuff to the front for them to pick up and then after that it is our responsibility to dispose of it. How we are to do that living in a development is unknown, I guess we would have to pay a company to come take stuff and dispose of it. But my issue is with the short timeing. There are a lot of older single people who are just getting back on their feet and have few people to call and help them. I got a call from a 78 year old lady tonight that the internet company was telling her that she needed to rent their equipment to get her spotty internet working again, she asked me if that was true. It is not. The internet system and the wires of the company that provide it took a hit, but she is not required to rent their expensive stuff to make her internet work. I told her I will go over to her place tomorrow and check it out. She says her equipment has all the normal green lights, so I suspect if her internet is spotty it is in the outside wires. I am not sure what more to tell you all, so I think I am going to close down for the night and go to bed. If anyone has questions ask me and I will reply. Hey I am almost caught up with comments, at least more than I have been in more than a month. Hugs
NEWS & OBSERVER: ‘It’s overkill’: Should sex offenders be banned from the NC State Fair?
‘It’s overkill’: Should sex offenders be banned from the NC State Fair?
Sex abuse is serious, and the harm to survivors is immeasurable. Sex offense law is ineffective and potentially causes more harm. Both can be true.

This Isn’t Complicated …
We Used to Make Jokes …
Nan has been telling me about this. It seems to me these people don’t want a democracy of the people, they want a one party rule, their party and their rule. It has become a thing on the right that if they can not win in the ballot box they change the rules to make it so they win. They keep saying they are not being listened to or they have no voice, but they have as much as anyone else. They just don’t like that there is less of them and more of the liberals. Hugs

Tapper Lists “Extremist” MTG’s Batshit Claims [VIDEO]
Mediaite reports:
Jake Tapper took Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to task for her endorsement of various conspiracy theories over the years.
The CNN host called Greene an “extremist” who is tolerated and even “embraced” by her fellow Republicans because of her preternatural ability to fundraise and receive the clout that goes with it. Tapper then aired a series of clips interspersed with his commentary.
Tapper stated that in previous years, such behavior would have earned Greene a “political death sentence.” But, he said, her status as an effective fundraiser and “MAGA celebrity” has elevated her status within the GOP.
Read the full article. Watch the clip. Tapper obviously couldn’t list ALL of Greene’s uncountable insane claims, the most infamous of which, arguably, is that Hillary Clinton murdered a child and then wore the child’s face as a mask.
The GOP is broken and apparently that’s how they like it.
Odie is starting to walk better but the place he wants to be on my new desk when I am here
Something happened to Odie just before the hurricane, he started to have a lot of trouble with one of his back legs. We assumed he he caught it jumping down the steps we made for him to get off my desk. But after the hurricane it showed us that what ever is causing it got much worse. When we first got home he couldn’t hardly walk. He would walk a few steps with two or three of his legs out of his control, like he was very drunk. Then for a while he walked like his back feet were controlled by someone else. He thump walked. His rear legs went out from under him. And he thumped as he tried to walk. We would have tried to take him to his vet but their office has not been open yet as of last weekend. So now he is walking better. Very slow but all his limbs seem under his control. We really have no clue what the issue is, but one thing we do and don’t is let him jump down from any height as it will hurt him again. Which means we pick him up to anything he needs that is any height. When he is on my desk I or someone else must watch him so if he starts to want to get down we can pick him up and set him on the ground. He has learned the system, now he get food or treaties and comes to my desk and sits there looking at me or meowing. That means pick me up and let me take over your desk please. And you maybe shocked to know I do that. We do put him in his personal chair next to the window because it is much lower than the desk and if we don’t put him in that chair he will struggle to get into it himself. We do notice that instead of jumping out he slides out on his stomach. This is just one more in a long list of issues we are dealing with after the hurricane.
Look this is on my phone typed with my keyboard and I know there are a lot of errors, but fixing them all is going to be hard. If I miss any please overlook them. Life is hard enough for us right now with out spelling / grammar police. Hugs
