Wow...

Like two years.  I haven't been on here in two years. 

I'm still on Dreamwidth, and came over here, because someone told me LJ was shut down.  I was like really?  Nope here you are. 

It's kinda scary out there people.  I don't know what to do sometimes.  I'm in a heavily blue city that is full steam ahead with the narrative. 

Defund police movement pushed our crime through the roof, then the county attorney said that care theft wasn't something they were going to hold people for anymore along with several other offenses and now we have people coming from other areas just to commit crimes here, because they won't be held. 

My roommate is pro-a lot of what is wrong.  

So yeah. 

I just got finished watching a video regarding the clots that they are finding in people that were vaxd and it's damned scary.  I'm feeling good about my decision regarding the vax, but bad that many of my clients and several members of my family are fully vaxd.  Or at least had one or 2 shots. 

It makes me think that I may need to completely change my healing practice, since like 75% of the country decided that taking this shot was the way to go. 

WTF.  I don't know.  

But if people are willing to talk about COVID related injuries from the virus, but not the vax related injuries and death...WTF.

Sometimes I start contemplating going to ground.

If You Have an LJ

you may want to back up your data.  Please consider that LJ has their servers.  And if that country chooses to disconnect from the Global internet, you may lose everything you have on LJ. 

Please consider backing up your data or creating a back up journal on another platform like Dreamwidth or some other platform.  

Pick one you feel good about and has similar traffic. 

But there have been many that have wanted to switch to DW only to come back because the traffic is here and habit.

Tomorrow is Voting.

So if you do anything tomorrow, remember if you have any ballots or representation to vote for do so.

Please remember it took our collective asses to land here, and it started at the local level.  So maybe if we can start changes at the local level we can change the shit going on in washington.  Just saying.

The election cycle locally has been horrid.

In other news I'm automatically renewed in the State run insurance until the "emergency" has passed.  Then they will start sending out renewals. This entry was originally posted at http://irish-dragon.dreamwidth.org

Weather...

Buckle up peeps.  It's going to be a wild ride.

Current unusual weather patterns from Electroverse.

So the guidance that we are receiving from Circle when the Patrons are talking with us is, if you have not already started, start no preparing.  The course has been set, and the ride is about to begin.  Don't know how long it's going on.

So start preparing for possible shortages in food and supplies now.  This includes seeds.

This person should be fired

Personally I don't care. If you want to wear, wear mask. If you don't want to wear a mask, don't a mask.

It's generally very difficult to eat with a mask on, and in the video it appears that while he was not wearing a mask properly, it did appear that he had a mask underneath his chin, which is how most people wear one when they are not using it.

But as some one who was bullied for most of my public school career, and having not a single teacher really do anything about it, even when it occurred class, or when one teacher singled me out and belittled me every time she was a guest in my class, this reprehensible.

This woman should be fired. As in she should lose her job, and never be involved in childcare or teaching again. Ever.

Bullying happens with kiddos, it's a fact of life. But a teacher should never violate the trust that students place in them in this matter ever.

She violated that trust.

(no subject)

I want a home of my own.  I space that's just my own.  Having a home on wheels fascinates me.  To be able to travel and see the country if not World on my own with my kitty. 

But I find myself thinking today.  If I am looking to have a home of my very own, am I looking to have a home on wheels or a brick and mortar home? 

Should I start with a van for those weekend trips?
Should I go all in?

Thank the Gods for the Blessings

So this morning I got out of the house and into work on time and Early.  It was Grand.

I was able to update [personal profile] medusahealing since my first appointment spaced his appointment and had no recollection that it was ever made.  Second appointment was late, and the third appointment late cancelled yesterday evening.  So I got off Early. YAY!

I updated my hours before I left,  I'm now booking into the Month of June.  April is fully booked. One of my clients is now an object lesson for all my other clients.  Two weeks before his appointment I offered to prebook him for April and he declined because he didn't want to commit that far in advance. So the weekend prior to his appointment he ended up cancelling and didn't like want was then available for him, and put himself on hold for his membership because my Fridays and Saturdays are booked.  *blink*

So now all my clients book and book out, so they know they have an appointment, even if they need to cancel, they have another out there. Once you are on the schedule, it's easier to stay on, but if you drop off, you go back on the waiting list.  It's awesome.  It's also exactly how it's supposed to be.  It's one of the things that Moe never grasps. You need to have your current therapists booked, booked solid and booked consistently before you can even think of adding more therapists to make things work. Once everyone booked, then add one additional therapist build them up, then add another therapist build them up and eventually you have a consistent practice and booked SOLID and CONSISTENTLY makes for happy massage therapists and happy business owner.

I was talking to Katherine when she mentioned that I was booked all the way into May.  I told her that's how the business is supposed to be run.  You want to be booked that far out. That means you are in demand and your business is doing well.

Anyway last night I told myself, I need gas tomorrow, but today when I left I forgot my wallet, and on the way home, I realized I was extremely low on gas.  I made home, then I went gas station and filled up.  My gas light came on, it's been awhile since I did that.

I am not feeling bad about those clients not showing, each of them was charged $25 for their no show, and my middle came, and tipped quite well.  Life is good.

So...

It's actually really uncomfortable being a minority.  I have people that believe as I do in aspects dealing with the vaccine, but the majority of the people in my life are for, are getting or are waiting to get the vaccine. 

If I have wear my mask to work or shop, I'm fine with that.  If I have to get tested to travel, I'm fine with that.  I am just not comfortable with the vaccine in any of it's incarnations at this time.  Though for the most part when someone asks me if I've had the vaccine, I say no, and leave it at that.  They will normally go on how they have had the vaccine, and how many of their friends have had it or waiting for it.  Or that they have been able to facilitate events where they have been able to get multitude of people vaccinated. 

It just feels odd to me, and very uncomfortable, but again I'm in the minority of that belief where I live. 

If someone wants the vaccine, I'll not stand in their way. It's the same with a mask, if someone doesn't want to wear their mask, again their choice.

I can't put a finger on why, well I probably could, but again, it just doesn't feel right. The entire last year and half hasn't felt right.  But to each their own.

I hope people are okay out there. This entry was originally posted at http://irish-dragon.dreamwidth.org
