Autism

For years, the Food and Drug Administration provided an informational webpage for parents warning them of the dangers of bogus autism treatments, some promoted by anti-vaccine activists and “wellness” companies. The page cited specifics scams and the “significant health risks” they pose.

I saw goats yesterday! Goats!

Millie is not excited to share the heating pad with Lana.

Ok, so this is probably the stupidest question ever, but I’m wondering, how long has everyone here been able to go without sleeping?

We are going to have a dinner party! I’m on vacation in a couple of weeks and we’re going to have friends over. The theme is cozy soup. I’m going to make a Minestrone, Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice, and a hearty beef stew. And plenty of bread to go along with it of course.

Ok, the Pisces part has to do more with a special interest of mine as I am a Pisces and am interested in horoscopes. But something I’ve noticed and heard often is that Pisces often take in others emotions as their own, and tend to get really sensitive. I am like this with a lot of people, but primarily those I am close to.

Still playing catch up and putting out fires. Have a doctor’s appointment today, that I don’t want to go to mainly because of this flu going around. But I plan on masking up.

I’m going to start with something positive: My parents said my sister was in great spirits tonight.

Study author Yashaswini Singh, a health economist at Brown’s School of Public Health, said the work highlights how financial firms are rapidly moving into a sensitive area of health care without much public scrutiny or data on where this is happening or why.

Back to my normal job today!

Didn’t plan on writing this, but am officially freaked out. My younger sister is on her way to a psych ward right now, apparently she is severely depressed. I feel like it’s all my fault. I’m so afraid, this is her second time there. Just needed to rant.

Watching bread baking videos and listening to Lana snore.

I really didn’t want to have to write this out, as I am ready to just shout at someone, but my family and I are about to have game night and I don’t want to ruin it by constantly shouting stuff. Therefore, it’s being written here.

My head hurts. Took some Tylenol (for the tism) and icy hot. Hopefully it will calm down.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had mixed feelings about positive acknowledgement, specifically praise and encouragement. Occasionally I enjoyed it, but most times, I could not stand it.

Happy New Year! I hope yours was quieter than mine. We rang in the year with our cats. Unfortunately our neighbors have fireworks and firearms. “Celebrations” went until 1:00AM.

It’s New Year’s Eve. I don’t make resolutions.

Someone left a Hazel on the stairs.

I can’t stand touch, and look unhappy most the time.

hooray for productivity!

Got an hour of sleep, now Bert and I are at the vet waiting.

So today, my sister came home from snowplowing/shoveling my dad’s house. She was all excited because my dad gave her $30 for doing it, and my mom gave her 20. They talked to her afterwards about how it went and how she felt. I’m used to her getting money for stuff like this, but today my parents gave it to her in front of me, and I’ve been really upset ever since.

The Stockholm syndrome has kicked in and Bert wants to stay.

We captured Bert! Here he is using his one braincell to try and escape.

It’s Turkey Day here in America. Luckily our travels are about a twenty minute drive and that’s it
