Thanks! It was a pretty low-key birthday this year. Read some, watched A Real Pain and caught up on Severance and The Pitt and then had Chinese food. It was nice.
I am slowly allowing myself to watch the news again, like you. Things have been so terrible that even without watching the news, I was hearing about it all anyway but then there was the added question of whether or not what I was hearing was real, so I found myself looking it up to check for accuracy. Kind of counterproduct
ive. So, now I'm going to allow myself to watch our local news first thing in the morning because even if there was a zombie apocalypse happening the only thing they'd report is how it might affect the Bills season! I am dreading the voting on these cabinet picks. Especially RFK. If he gets in there, people are literally going to die. I'm pretty sure I'll be one of them. I saw an article where he said he didn't believe that diabetics really needed insulin. That all it would take is a change of eating habits and diet. He'd like to do away with it all and it would save Americans billions of dollars. Sure dude.... except that's false! Sure, some diabetics can get themselves off insulin with just eating healthy and exercise but some of us, that's not the case. I know this because despite eating healthy and exercising and losing weight etc...and always being controlled meaning my A1C is 5.98, when they tried to take me off insulin, even with the addition of Monjauro, it didn't work. He doesn't think it ever will. Let alone type 1 people. So yeah, I'm kind of worried about this guy and that these idiots will vote him through because they are scared of retaliation from Trump.
I have tried to rewatch old seasons of Survivor but for some reason, I can't really get into them. I don't know if it's because I've seen it already or what, but it doesn't work. I'm glad it is fun for you though. I'm telling you, you should check out The Traitors on Peacock. It's a stupid mindless reality show and it uses people from all those shows. This season, Boston Rob, Danielle, Crazy Carolyn and Jeremy are on it. The first season Ciri was on it. Most of the other contestants I don't know because they are from the E! shows like the Housewives or Shahs of Sunset, there's a bachelorette on this year as well as Bob from The Big Loser and random Zak Efron's brother lol Alan Cummings is the host and he's awesome! There's a UK version of the show that takes place in the same castle they use for the USA version but the thing I like about the UK one, is they aren't celebrities. I think I would like that better.
It's still snowy here. But it hasn't been bitter cold, thankfully. I'm glad it's gotten better for you!
I'm happy for the boys for getting to perform for the SNL concert. I don't think I'll watch it because it's going to be really long, but I'm sure someone will post their performance. It's always nice to have something to look forward to. For me it's Critics Choice Awards on Friday although, now Kieran's most likely in rehearsals for his play. I'm really hoping he'll still show up for these awards shows. I didn't really think about that until recently.
