Seen some folks asking about lawyers who help federal employees so: 1. obviously, you can call us. we'll try to fit you in considering ~everything~ 2. go to MWELA.org. that's the plaintiff's employment bar association in the DMV. go to NELA.org nationally. search for lawyers who do federal work.

I'm officially 38 now like the rest of you assholes.

So, I accidentally checked off "walking corpse syndrome" in the medical history I filled out online. WCS is an very-extremely rare condition where you believe your body, or part of your body, is dead and decaying. I cannot describe to you how a nurse approached me before asking me about my WCS.

Brand new week starting. Still holding back the same scream.

Because this sweet girl recently turned 14, and who needs an excuse to share Callie pics? Callie came into my life in 2016 as a service dog. She helped me get back out into the world despite some bad PTSD and made transitioning to a career as an attorney possible.

Spent part of my afternoon darning and patching a dog bed for our very old, very spoiled labrador. She had worn holes in it from circling before laying down and kept tripping on them. Of course, no other bed would do. My handiwork? Hideous. But she's accepted the bed as mended and I'm thrilled.

I can't hear Markwayne Mullin's name without a very twangy, Coors-Light-Commerical-from-20-years-ago "AND TWINS!" popping into my head. Markwayne Mullins . . . AND TWINS!

Our lab is on pain killers this evening for her arthritis. So we keep looking at each other and saying "I'm not high, *you're* high" to one another.

Everything is horrible, so I will share the highlight of my day: My sister referring to getting a mammogram as getting one's "mams grammed."

Had a hell of a time getting diagnosed with Type 2 narcolepsy. Not a lot of folks out there talking about it, so thought I'd share. I'd been taking meds for depression since I was 19. Diagnosed with narcolepsy at 38. She calls her naps "sideways time." Heard. I call them "going horizontal."

March's full moon (the "Worm Moon") is tonight. There will also be a total lunar eclipse, making it a "blood" moon. So enjoy the blood worm moon, I guess. Gross.

Watching an old horror movie where the characters discover a secret passage way in a home they've lived in all their lives. How. I walk the perimeter of an Airbnb to make sure the outside dimensions match the inside ones before I settle in. Who is being foolish now, @joshuaerlich.bsky.social.

The worst part of my sleep study results: "Moderate snoring." Right there in black and white. I denied it my whole life and can deny no more. . . . I remain skeptical.
