For some reason, after our SNAP renewal the state has seen fit to refer Bub and Monster’s child support cases to the OAG (Office of the Attorney General) again… in spite of the fact that good cause waivers exempting them from this benefit requirement were approved for both cases as of May 2021. I’m not sure why this continues to happen like clockwork as it mysteriously has since 2014, but I’ve been initiating closure requests on both cases since they opened and will continue to do so each day. I also e-mailed the contacts that I have from HHSC and the OAG, and I’ve made sure that there is a paper trail of me not having revoked either of the good cause waivers. In addition, I submitted a formal complaint to the HHSC ombudsman. The last time that I had to do this, I was in the process of acquiring a lawyer through Legal Aid to litigate. As soon as HHSC and the OAG found out that I had done this, they immediately put both cases back into non-enforcement where they stayed for several months. I’m merely chronicling this here to attest to the fact that it has once again happened, it continues to periodically happen in a problematic way, and I want it to stop.

I figured that this was worth posting, so…

This was the best picture that I could find that went with the theme of my blog, so I’m using it.
They see us sussin’, of course they are hatin’…

I hosted Among Us games for three hours last night, and let’s just say that I needed Fioricet… but it was worth it, and I would gladly do it again. As a matter of fact, I intend to this New Year’s Eve. Let’s go.
Back at it again for the next… oh, several days.

Bub and I have continued to play Among Us more now that Christmas has passed, and now that they actually have more DLC out I’ve gone ahead and gotten that for him. We’ve made a sizable dent in levels and are learning the maps that we were less familiar with, like the one that they added in between us last playing and… now. One game was remarkably funny in that seven people saw us (Bub and me) do the medbay scan, which an Impostor can not fake, and somehow managed to decide to vote me out two rounds later, in the same game, which caused dead chat to light up as soon as I was thrown from the airlock like “crew is stupid this round” in all capital letters. To be fair though, they deserved it, and Impostors predictably won that game because they’d managed to kill enough members of crew or throw them from the airlock.
As long as Bub’s behavior is amenable to it we’re going to play plenty of Among Us this afternoon.
