Can't focus after a bad's night sleep? Your dirty brain is to blame
During sleep, your brain cleans itself by flushing through cerebrospinal fluid to prevent damage to brain cells. If you're lacking in sleep, this happens when you are awake – and seems to cause momentary lapses in attention

Bonjour tout le monde!
Name: Rina.
Age: 41 years.
I mostly post about: My everyday life, my thoughts, the emotional turmoil I am going through day by day, music (A LOT OF MUSIC TALK; this is more than just something I am interested in, it really is my passion :D!), lyrics/quotes/etc references, movies & books (When I can), struggles in my psyche, career talk *__*, spirituality, and also sometimes politics. And generally: LOVE!
My hobbies are: Creative writing [poetry (that can often be used as lyrics later) and general fictional stories], crocheting [Ironically I struggle less with magic rings than just simple chains?! Oô], cycling [I would *LOVE* to travel to places by bike, too!], dancing [To express myself; influenced mainly by industrial dancing, hiphop, acrobatics, bellydance, jazz dance, etc. I usually do not like dancing with partners, though :P, and I would LOVE to try hoop and pole dance!], DIY, drawing & painting [No matter the canvas! Mainly portraits, seals (and other animals) and lots of surrealist influences!], knitting, learning foreign languages, learning new things, listening to music, martial arts, mixing and mastering knowledge acquisation ;D, photography, playing the electric guitar, playing the keyboard/piano, recording music, sewing, singing, songwriting [music & lyrics], spiritual practices [Tropical and Chinese astrology, tarot/cartomancy, numerology, palmistry, tossing witches runes, scrying, aura readings, etc.], travelling, watching movies.
My fandoms are: I do not really know whether this counts as "fandom", because, yes, there are e. g. bands and musicians I really like a lot, but then again, I am not really part of any true "fandoms"...

Is Trump selling pieces of demolished White House East Wing? Breaking down claim

Diverging Media Worlds
15 or so years ago I began hearing more about how people have increasing difficulty talking to their parents or other relatives who listened to faux news and thus inhabited increasingly divergent media universes than they did. I never had that problem – my parents (and now just my mom) are basic centrist liberals who have never watched (and would never) watch faux and enjoy the Daily Show. We didn’t always agree on politics (me being a democratic socialist), but we very much lived in the same media universe, and our facts were mostly the same.
Now I have a similar problem, because my mom watches NBC, ABC news, or CNN and reads the Washington Post, and I don’t and instead get my news from Bluesky, What the Fuck Just Happened Today? (which is awesome), Daily Kos, and similar lefty sources. Recently I discovered my mom hadn’t heart of the costumed protests (starting with frog guy) in Portland, hadn’t heard of any but the largest No Kings protests, and most concerningly had no idea who JB Pritzker (the governor of Illinois, and by far the most credible 2028 presidential candidate on our side) was or how he'd been standing up to 47, and she also hadn’t heard or seen anything about 47’s increasingly obvious mental decline (like the recent video of the Japanese PM leading him around, which reminded me astonishingly much of how my mom used to lead my dad around while he was still mobile (he died of Alzheimer’s). OTOH, she has heard of Gavin Newsom and has also heard news reports that he is (gag) the only possible Democratic candidate in 2028). That’s what you get when billionaires own all large-scale media in the US, because billionaires almost universally support authoritarians.

Finished the story
Got up at 10:00 and had breakfast and coffee. The calendars I ordered from Calendars.com arrived, I was not expecting them until Friday.
Then I showered and dressed. I called
mashfanficchick to find out if ze was doing anything today, ze was not.
I called the management company about the front door again. We'll see if anything happens this time. If not, next time I threaten to call the city 311 and complain to them.
I emptied the trash in the bathroom, separating out the recycling and putting that in the recycling bag. Then I cleaned the toilet, which needed it. Then I took out the trash and cardboard recycling. The place where we're supposed to put the garbage, behind the building, was a mess. I was going to take out the plastic recycling but when i saw the mess I decided to wait.
Then I walked around the block, as usual when I take out garbage or recycling.
Came back in and started working on the story I've been writing. I did that for the rest of the day, off and on with emailing the FWiB (his power came back on at 1:19 am) and puttering on line.
I finally reached the end of the story minutes before it was time to Team the FWiB. We talked til my meeting at 8:00.
I had trouble getting into Zoom, and that was a portent. I had extreme technical issues with the meeting. The computer kept kicking me out of the meeting. Fortunately Zoom didn't end the meeting, and S was able to take over each time, so I guess it was fairly successful. But it was a pain. I closed all the other windows that were open, even had to restart the whole computer once, nothing helped.
After it finally ended, I had dinner and went and lay down. I called
mashfanficchick to discuss plans, ze is working tomorrow, I'm thinking of going to the Queens Botanical Gardens to see fall flowers.
Then I played solitaire on my phone til pet feeding time. Used up the last of Christie's normal turtle food, tomorrow we find out what she thinks of the new stuff. Fingers crossed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Clean toilet.
3. Finished the story.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. Especially S.
6 Plans for tomorrow, and Halloween.

Video appointment with chemotherapist today. I'm done with immunotherapy! The scan says I've been stable.
I still have:
* bone strengthening (not marrow encouraging) med every 12 weeks, infused
* Scans every 3 months
So that means a trip or two to the cancer center every 3 months, although if they keep it at 3 months for the one and 12 weeks for the other, they may fall out of sync.
I should probably celebrate this?
