Yesterday, I went to my doctor’s office to get the form filled out that the DMV gave me Mondey (of course after calling to see whether they could fit me in. Frankly I think they went out of their way for me. I do try not to be a Karen.) I took the form to the DMV and it worked like a charm. In fact, they offered, because my driver’s license was supposed to renew within 6 months anyway, to renew it for another five years. Of course I was thrilled. (I do try not to be a Karen.) Now all I have to do is make an appontment to visit Virgil – the earliest Sunday he is available is April 10th (and, frankly, I feel safest driving on Sunday) I know that because the visitation staff has gone out of their way to let me know what days he (his “pod”) is scheduled for. (I do try not to be a Karen.) So back to what passes for normal starting today. Yay!

Short Takes –

Politico – CAWTHORN’S ORGY CLAIM FALLOUT
Quote – The first-term conservative said he received invitations along the lines of: “‘Well, hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come’.” The 26-year-old described his response on the podcast “Warrior Poet Society”: “I’m like, ‘What did you just ask me to come to?’ And then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy.” Cawthorn also claimed to have seen other people who are “leading” efforts to eradicate drug addiction using cocaine in front of him.
Click through for story. I wouldn’t doubt the orgies, but I definitely doubt that anyone would invite Maddy. Unless they wanted to make him the goat (no, not the GOAT, just the goat, as in scape.)

PolitiZoom – REVEALED: Trump’s Last Official Call Jan 6 Was To Pence, Then A 7 Hour, 37 Minute Blackout On WH Logs. What’s Being Covered Up?
Quote – That immediately begs the question, what happened between the hours of 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on January 6 and how was Trump communicating with people? He has already stated through a spokesman Monday night, “I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term.” Right. What’s being covered up? Seven hours is one whole lot of a longer time than the infamous 18-minutes of Watergate.
Click through for details. I thought “Shades of Nixon” – but at 7:37 Trump makes Nixon’s 0:18 and a half look like Amateur Hour.

The National WWII Museum – Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
Quote – Within the United States, Sophie Magdalena Scholl is not the best-known resistance fighter, but her story is a powerful one. She was a key member of the Weiße Rose (White Rose)—a resistance group run by students at the University of Munich who distributed leaflets and used graffiti to decry Nazi crimes and the political system, while calling for resistance to the Nazi state and the war. On February 22, 1943, she was beheaded for treason at just 21 years old.
Click through for full details. If you hear someone allude to the “White Rose” (or the “White Rose Society”), this is what they are talking about. Beau does occasionally (he also has a Tshirt with a white rose, so he can allude to it without saying it.)

Food For Thought:
The video this quote is from will be on the Video Thread tomorrow. But this is so succinct I just wanted to meme it.

Today way was a sleepy day, here at the CatBox.  I slept most f the day.  I woke up in time for morphine  and went back to sleep. I Republicated quite painfully before getting on on the computer where I still am.  Please pray that that Republication does not  exacerbate my pain!

It was a restful day here at the CatBox.  This morning I had my second Trump** Virus vaccine.  I felt a little queasy, but my side effects were nowhere neat as severe as last time.  The Providence nurse came and for once we were on the same page from beginning to end.  Methadone is up to 25 mg.  I get no oxy. and I get 20 mg of morphine up to once an hour as needed.  Please pray that, now that it’s fixed, they avoid the temptation to break it.

It’s been a drowsy day, here in the CatBox with much less pain than I have suffered in months.  Sadly, it still hurts.  They increased my methadone, eliminated  oxycodone and set my morphing at up to 20 mg per hour, as needed.  I’m using less.  Please pray that they adjust updates well, and keep me supplied.

It’s been a painful day here in the CatBox, but relief is in sight.  in addition to my other meds, I am allowed 10 mg morphine every hour as needed  However Providence pharmacy was late in refilling my prescription, and it just got here.  I have been in severe pain, but I’ll feel better after a couple doses.  Pray that my supply does not run out.

It’s a tired painful day here in the CatBox.  This morning a Providence bathing aide came to clean me up.  She did a very good job, was gentle and was compassionate, but despite her best efforts, moving me around exacerbated my pain severely.  It did not let up for the rest of the day.  Two days at the new level are enough to demonstrate that I need more and shall ask for it immediately.  Please pray that they increase my Methadone level quickly.

It’s a groggy painful day here in the CatBox.  I spent most of the morning fighting pain.  With my 3 PM dose Hospice increased my Methadone dose from 15 mg to 18 mg every 8 hours.  I can tell the difference, but I think I’ll need more.  I did Republicate twice  and slept for the rest of the day.  Please pray that this increase will ease my pain.
