This is another remix of one of my favorite songs by ZARD, and I only found it fitting to post here.

It’s Sunday. I don’t need to come up with a subject.

I mentioned wanting to move out of Texas as soon as the chance availed us (which would quite likely be my dad, and only surviving parent’s, death as there are a lot of things that I do not want to inherit for a lot of reasons that I know I will have to refuse… but the political climate could get even more worse than it already is, so I mean, we shall see), and people are already being extremely helpful making that doable! As I mentioned a few posts back, I can only hope that there continue to be these same — or similarly minded — good people in the world, and that people continue to be as helpful as they have been. I’ll continue to mention it in here, as will I make the occasional errant post about it to keep people updated, particularly those who are being as helpful as they are. I would be writing more in here, but I had a seizure in my sleep that I’m guessing didn’t wake me up — not a major one, but none of them are minor — and it’s been fun recuperating from that. It usually takes me a few days to fully recuperate, but I manage to do it every time.
I’d love to move out of Texas for many reasons.

We continue to do this “air conditioner, heater, air conditioner, heater” thing well into February, and I hates it.
A more satisfying conclusion than I expected…

Because there are good people, Bub has been paid back what he had stolen from him.
It only took a day and a half for enough people to mobilize to make that happen, and I am so thankful that there are still good people in this world… even though I live in the United States (and, at that, Texas, where I have regularly had it screamed at me that I am a leech and a mooch for being disabled, that I am teaching my disabled children to be leeches and mooches because they are disabled and we get the disability benefits that we are entitled to, that I “could find a job if I weren’t lazy”, that sort of thing) where people who espouse MAGA tendencies and vote Republican seem to proliferate more and more with each election cycle, which doesn’t help matters out any. But the fact of the matter is that there are still plenty of good people on this planet and we are thankful for them. So Bub will be getting that game when it is released for purchase.
Steam will have to learn not to mess with me too.

Through… something that I don’t even know how they managed, someone got into our Steam account — you know, the one with two-factor authentication on it — and stole the money that had been put into our Wallet with the intent to pre-order something that would become available later on this month. So far, Steam has been completely non-compliant on the issue (“because they spent it on Community Market goods”… well, if your site is so horribly regulated that hackers are easily able to access accounts and Wallet funds they shouldn’t, and you know they spend them on Community Market goods because you won’t go after them if they do, do you not see the problem here?), so I’ve filed a complaint against them with the Federal Trade Commission and intend on opening support tickets with them until they get so tired of me that they credit my account the money that was in our Wallet to shut me up. I am not at all opposed to doing that because sometimes it is a tactic that works — I’ve had to do it with my state’s HHSC (Health and Human Services Commission) when they refuse to work our renewals, that was how I got my Twitter account back in good standing after… we all know what happened there, and now this, I guess. At this point, I don’t care.
…what these agencies or organizations must think of me for forcing them to ethically do their jobs.
