This still surprises me that it happened.

It may have taken them a year to do it, but the comment of someone from my state governor’s Facebook page caused Facebook to delete their account in response to being reported. This is honestly the first time that I have had something like this happen as a result of reporting something to Facebook that clearly violated Community Standards, because normally Facebook insists that “the comment (or post) does not violate Community Standards” even when it’s a Father’s Rights Activist or Men’s Rights Activist talking about or threatening to commit arson on a child support building with workers still inside. I’ve actually reported several comments talking about that in the past, and the only one even remotely similar to those that was actually taken down was a comment that I reported where a man talked about wanting to shoot his ex-wife in the face “because he didn’t want to (have to) pay her any more child support”. Facebook took that comment down within the hour that I had reported it. Still, though… I mean, a win is a win here, right?

I mean, I should really have expected this too.

Bub and I are sick with… something. It is not COVID. We’ve tested for COVID with some of the tests that we have here at the house and both of them are negative. If we continue to have concerning symptoms I will have both of us antibody (or is it antigen?) tested. This will be particularly concerning for me if I have it.

I am also continuing to get severe migraines on Lexapro that are only touched by prednisone, and this is not sustainable for long periods of time. I’m starting to wonder if this medication is… just not right for me, because we might have to throw pain medication at it just for me to be able to tolerate it, and then that’s going to start a chain of events that might interact with other medications that I am on that I need to be on.

Good god, I have a teenager over here…

I happened to get this picture before Monster’s well appointment, and getting Bub the Pfizer shot, and it was just so hilarious that I could not possibly pass it up. This child is seriously so much… me, though. Seriously…

Before I completely forget to add updates to this.

Since I was making posts about how awful my high school experience was…

I know that I’ve mentioned this before, but at the start of my senior year, a freshman climbed on top of the art building and threatened to jump from it. My friends and I were the ones that had to let an adult at the school know because everyone else in the cafeteria (from which the art hallway and building could easily be seen) was chanting at him to jump. We let the Student Life director know, who called the front office when she confirmed that what we were telling her was true, and emergency services were called to the school. Apparently the student had to be tranquilized to safely get him off of the building… and he was allowed to come right back to school the following week like nothing at all had happened. He began attempting to pick fights with people who he thought would beat him up, and after the school found out about this, he stayed gone for a longer period of time. (However, the school did once again allow him to return some time after this as I found out after I had graduated. This was problematic for several reasons, many of which are obvious.)
