I made the mistake of listening to a political commentary (the recently fired Joy Ann Reid, she's very smart, but this was a particularly pointed one about Musk and the billionaires aiming for another gilded age) and it seemed like my brain churned for hours. I definitely woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning, mood-and-courtesy-to-others-wise. Gotta fix that with some outdoor work to clear my mind.

Also, reading the book about recycling (Junkyard Planet) has me looking at my household through different eyes. So much stuff, and so much in view that I don't see any more because it's always there.

A detour from usual activity is required this week since my insurance company is dropping a whole bunch of the medical folks I use, all members of a major group here in my town. My card says I can go to them still, but only if they're willing to file more paperwork. I have to call each and ask if they will do that. Bummer.

Final note: the daily gelatin in a cup of tea seems to be doing the trick as far as stronger nails. Changing the diet helped some, adding this helps more. The usual name brand has doubled in price so I shopped around for what looks like a good quality brand I've never heard of but lots of good reviews on Amazon, at half the price. Or the old price, however you want to do that math.
