I think you are just rubbing it in right now. But my electric billâŠlet me tell you the lack there of haha. Gas on the other handâŠdifferent story.
Pfft. Pfft I say. Its been Friday for nearly 10 hours nowâŠ

My beloved died from the adult form of that disease, myotonia dystrophica.
There is some good news as wellâŠa Japanese scientist has what he hopes is a possible treatment for Duchennes, using the bodys own cells. Clinical trials are still years away, but we are making progress.
We will beat it one day. We will. It isnt if, its when.
For the adult form of this genetic disease, no treatments yet. Men have been known to reach their 70âs, for women, especially type 2 myotonia, life expectancy after 60 years oldâŠis 12 %.
Ive spoken to geneticists, neurologists, ICU specialists, read every article I could find, educated myself as best I could without a formal degree. Every day we make advances, every day we come cioser.
One day, no more defeats. One day, no more grief, no more loss.
Too late for herâŠtoo late for manyâŠbut for others, thereâs hope. There is always hope.
Lifeâs a gift.

Yes, in the place you live, which everyone knows doesnât really exist.
Youâre just mad because you didnât know what devon wasâŠ
Because it is a made up wordâŠ
There are two accepted ways to determine the actual time (day date year) at any moment, UTC offset or the time on my alarm clock or phone where I happen to be.
All other methods (i.e. the time on any elseâs alarm clock or phone where they happen to be not expressed as UTC offset) are simply wrong.
To those who can dream, thereâs no such place as doesnât really exist.
An English county on the South West peninsula of the island of Great Britain (that Iâve never been to)?
Or the cream; Devon to most but Cornish to some folks? (my family are Irish, so just clotted cream to me).
Or something more esoteric that I also donât know?
I think you guys call it bologna. We call it (amongst other things, like fritz), devon. Its typically eaten by primary school aged children, in a sandwich with butter and tomato sauce. But only on white bread.
Bologna, named after Bologna the city in Italy by Italian immigrants in the US because of the similarity to the mortadella from that city, also spelled phonetically âbaloneyâ in parts of the US, polony, for no reason I can think of in England (a lot of things in England I donât understand, but whatever) I wasnât aware that it was called devon down under.
It is properly eaten on white bread with yellow mustard, preferably fried, optionally with Velveeta cheese.
EDIT; As a side note:
Devon or Cornish or simply clotted cream is one of the British inventions that almost makes up for the rest of their cooking (must admit they also do fish fries better than most in the US, and know how to do breakfast).
So apparently there is a massive Halo exhibit that will be traveling around the US later this year. I am super stoked for it.
(Is this the wrong place to post this? I still want to share it with all of you!)
Great, 10 day weather forecast is full of snow as in snow each day. We hardly ever see snow. I must make a snowman.
âDo you wanna make a snowman?â
It was a beautiful day in Florida today. I watched the sun rise going over the Dames Point bridge in Jacksonville. Had to take hubby to Mayo Clinic there.
Just wish the traffic hadnât been so insane. Since he is unable to drive now, Iâve had to take over that role. I do not enjoy it.
Normal Jaina went kersploosh tonight.
Itâs sad to see whatâs happening down there; The Great Barrier Reef is dying slowly too according to what I have read; Sad daysâŠ
Hasnât the reef been shrinking for a while now?
