It’s a very tired and busy day here in the CatBox. Both Store to Door and WWWendy are coming. My new hospice nurse called and scheduled an appointment for 12:30 PM tomorrow. She sounds much better than the other one. Time will tell. Have a great day!

It’s a difficult day here in the CatBox. I slept well last night, but I’m ready to sleep all day too. I’m still balancing the methadone and oxycodone. Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update as it’d both a grocery delivery day and a WWWendy day. Happy Hump Day!!
Update: I planned to post this about 90 minutes ago, but I dozed off and just woke up.

Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: Shortly after the sentencing of Nicolas Sarkozy, Donald J. Trump issued a statement claiming that prison time for the ex-President of France sets a “horrible precedent.”
In the statement, Trump called the corruption case against Sarkozy a “rigged hoax” and claimed that the former French leader was being treated “very unfairly.”
“This should never be allowed to happen in that country,” he said.
Dang Andy! I just can’t imagine why Trump** would feel that way! Can anyone guess? RESIST the Republican Reich!!
From Daily Kos: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a critical challenge to what’s left of the Voting Rights Act after the Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority decision in 2013 carved out the core of the law. At issue Tuesday are two Arizona laws, one requiring election officials to toss ballots that are cast in the wrong precincts and another that would restrict the delivery of mail-in ballots, allowing for just the voter, a family member, or caregiver could collect and deliver a voted ballot. That would prevent campaign workers, community activists, or members like church groups from delivering group ballots. With 43 states considering more than 250 voter suppression bills in the past month, the case has even greater import for the future of voting rights.
It puts into jeopardy Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which “prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups” identified as protected by the law. It bans any voting procedure that “results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race,” a denial or abridgment that occurs when “based on the totality of circumstances,” racial minorities “have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice.”
This is one we need to watch, but since the Supreme Court is comprised of three SCOTUS vs six SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional VD) my hopes are not high. RESIST the Republican Reich!!

It’s a really rough day here in the CatBox. Yesterday the nurse had an emergency, and nobody let me know she wasn’t coming. I felt very angry, because I exacerbated my back pain for a long time. There would have been no problem if someone had given me a call. I would have said, “No problem, let’s reschedule.” But I waited for her for an hour. Then I called, and it took them another hour to find out where she was. That messed me up big time. I need to go back to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

You can actually watch Kansas Republicans gerrymandering in this video.
Beau on the filibuster – as I said yesterday, gerrymandering is the only reason not to ditch it completely. I like his prediction for what would happen if they make it speaking only/must stay on topic.

A 45 minute documentary on the HUAC, made at the time, CC added. I realize most won’t ba able to watch it. but if you do, it will likely bring back memories (and some echoes of now.)
It’s a groggy day here in the CatBox. I began the transition from Fentanyl patches to Methadone pills last night. When I take my third dose of Methadone, I will remove the patch I have on. So far it appears to be helping with the pain. I also have a touch of Republicitis, so I did not seep well last night. I’m falling asleep at the keyboard. I have a nurse coming at around 11. I’m going to write part of this now and part later.
Later: I’m waiting for the nurse to arrive. I don’t really know what they have on the agenda. I do know that this is the best morning I’ve had for pain for months. I’m hoping I will feel less groggy as I get used to Methadone. OYIM! (Oh yawn, it’s Monday!)
