One of the excellent metaphors that I've seen in defense of maintaining bodily autonomy vis-a-vis abortion is the fact that a person can not be compelled to donate blood or kidneys or otherwise compromise their bodily autonomy, even to save another person's life ( Read more... )

2/1: Hard time sleeping; my bladder and a to-do list compelled me to get back up, part of which involved writing this ( Read more... )

1/17: Left around 2, ended up at R. Thomas for “breakfast”, tried their 8-dollar shake. Interesting how busy Downtown still was at 3 AM when we left. Home and sleep fast. Woke up before alarm, amazingly, went to meet David & Romy & Nate at Waffle House, and Gina called in on FaceTime. We departed, picked up my sister, and went to the new temple; ( Read more... )

1/1: Despite the late night, still woke up before Sweetheart. Made sure of last packing details. Omm has a big interest in the Rose Bowl Parade, so she was watching that one; we popped in-and-out to watch as well, between munching on breakfast, trying to finish the last of any leftovers we left (especially me-specific).

I've hit the point where I've gone from one record to another. I split the diary backlog from the tracking system in mid-December.

Not sure if I have a cold or allergies, but either way the drugs are great.

12/1: I'm nominated for some kind of pirate election, to be decided by duel. They're my friends (including a corsetted Cathy), and for some ( Read more... )

On a complete jump, here's a peek into the future ( Read more... )

Getting that much closer...
11/16: Data entry, internet, Pathfinder calendar, Board stuff, copious leftovers from Sweetheart's event, watched "Star Trek" and "Master of None".
11/17: Data entry, Alicia, Dianne, Joellen, and Sheila, huge puzzle map of US; some states have unusual outlines. Damn, it's infected my dreams, too. Data entry, internet, ( Read more... )
