TAX THE RICH

‘Affordable Connectivity Program, which is a federal program managed by the FCC meant to offer people living on low-income assistance with their internet bills. Of course, we can’t all have nice things. On Tuesday, the FCC said that since Congress has not approved new funding, the agency has had to make massive cuts that will mean far fewer people receiving aid for high-speed internet.’ From here: https://gizmodo.com/how-to-tell-if-your-isp-is-ripping-you-off-1851399788

I have this, and have been notified it is ending this month. “Congress has had to make massive cuts’. Tax the rich, for crying out loud. They have all the money and we just stand by and let the country go to ruin while they keep it. Why?

Still Sick

Went to Urgent Care. My friend called and volunteered to take me, since she has recently had pneumonia, and thought I might have it, too. I don’t. Nor do I have covid. I have a cold? that is aggravating my asthma, so I got 5 days of 40 mg prednisone, and a pill to stop coughing. Pill makes me dizzy, but does nothing for cough. First day on 40 mg, so far no cure. Oh well. Had to cancel my new homemaker and my decluttering helper. Did get some chicken soup from the store while we were out, and it was really good. Didn’t cure me, either, but it was very tasty anyway. LOL I’ve been getting their pot pie for awhile, and it is really good, too. Didn’t even know they made soup.

This is the soup I got. Two big bowls worth. Had it for dinner and then for breakfast. Yum.

Just went on Instagram, and suddenly was suspended. Wouldn’t it be nice if they told you exactly what you did to get suspended? Noooo, that would be too logical. Anyway, filed the appeal and as soon as I clicked the last thing, the suspension was lifted. WTF?

Tried to align these with directions I found. See how well that worked.

Another gray day. More rain, although it seems to be around us more than here, but it’s spring, Mother Nature. Some sunshine would be good. Also, since I can only see the trees across the street from here, I had not idea the forsythia is blooming, and all sorts of trees are flowering.

The trees yesterday

I miss outside. Not looking like I am ever going to be well enough to be out and about again, so I really treasure the times I do get out, even if they are mostly for appointments. Eye exam, rheumy, urgent care, whatever. At least I’m out. Right?

We had a hedge like this when we lived in this town way back when My veg garden was behind it and an apple tree on the right. Was nice.

Sorry I just cannot figure out how to align the pictures. I miss the old WordPress.

Wear you masks people. Being sick is no fun.
