Took this quick snap before the cold rains came and rotted the bloom. If I’m lucky I’ll get one more bloom off this stem. I ~think~ this is a Victoria Falls re-blooming iris.

Purple iris flower with beads of rain on it. Iris is in a pot in front of a white fence. One more flower bud is visible on stem.

Wore a mask during my recent botox for migraine treatment. Doc’s office is in a hospital bldg and those places are full of sick people!

Mygraine Story
I’ve had migraine since I was 7. As a tween my symptoms morphed from classic pain nausea to hemipeligic/one sided weakness and stammer. Those symptoms were punished as attention seeking behavior. As an adult when I brought those symptoms up to docs they’d say it was cause I was tired. I endured headaches. I didn't get my migraine treated until it converted from chronic to continuous. Wish I'd have gotten it treated before that happened.

Dug up some old vaccination paper work w/ MMR info on. Now to contact my doc’s office to see if I need to get a booster. If I do need a booster I’ll get it for sure. The more vaccines in me the safer I feel going without a mask sometimes.

Got a doctor appointment tomorrow at a big busy practice in a hospital. Next to my bag I have fresh clean new mask ready to wear. I don't want to catch the flu which is kicking butt and taking names this year.

OK did the one big thing for today then took a nurctec for the migraine bright lights gave me. Nurtec is one of my fave migraine meds.

Ketorolac injections work awesome too but are tough on the tummy and shots are an icky pain.

Yummy melty mint ❄️ or fill the needle and blah blah blah.

I asked the old punk,
who used to always tell me
that this society
wouldn’t last,
if he had any advice
for this moment
in which things are falling apart,
and the old punk told me
that in moments
when things are falling apart
it falls to each of us
to take care of each other.

Yesterday's planned outing changed - original idea totally over ridden by other stuff that was quite awesome and unexpected

honestly this year we'll be lucky to get the cupcake

The comic features two stick figures. In the first panel, one says, “Happy International Women’s Day!” to the other. In the second, they hand over a cupcake, saying, “Here’s your cupcake.” The third panel is silent, showing them standing there, the second figure now holding the cupcake. In the final panel, the first figure bluntly says, “Now fuck off.” The comic satirizes the superficial way companies and institutions acknowledge International Women’s Day, offering symbolic gestures instead of meaningful action.
