Oh, HELLO! Well, this week has been a ride. Or, to be more specific, it’s been a roller coaster that climbs steadily up and up and up, higher and higher and higher, and then you puke your life out on the way down! Literally. My week had a lot of ups at the start: a great therapy session, a fun time at No Lights No Lycra, and dinner at one of my fave places in the neighborhood. Then I spent Wednesday night into early Thursday morning being so sick to my stomach.

But on FRIDAY, we struck the Trump administration a YUGE blow, rescuing Medicaid (for now) from Paul Ryan’s evil clutches and kept it safe from, literally, –> THIS GUY. <– And if that doesn’t win some kind of award for children’s book of the year, I’ll eat my gross red baseball cap. Which would only make my stomach MORE upset, but luckily, I’ve still got my health care!
The good news is: They can still come to Planned Parenthood. #IStandWithPP https://t.co/2NixyI1Rq9

#NationalPuppyDay reminds me of times when I was much smaller and the world was much simpler. But also very tiring. #sausagedog pic.twitter.com/AOeWAypiIq

Classic.
You’ve probably already seen this, but in the unlikely event you’re reading this blog from underneath a rock where you have a really strong wifi connection, allow me to introduce you to the newest Meryl Streep meme. This Twitter account, Meryl Memes, is completely devoted to creating Meryl Memes at an alarming rate. Just try not retweeting them. Just. Try.

This week, they also announced MORE EMOJIS! And FINALLY, dinosaur emojis, OMIGOD. Now you know, I’ve only had the full set of emojis for like, two weeks now, so I’m still getting used to the overwhelming amount of new emoji options available to me, but I’m SO EXCITED for carrots and T-rex and SOCK EMOJIS!! Yes, I need sock emojis, because I wear multiple pairs of socks because of my chronically cold feet. Sock emoji, I think I love you THE MOST. via Emojipedia, my favorite source for emojis on the Internet!
lastly, this tweet from Tony Hawk made me crack up, especially if you imagine Tony speaking in perfect deadpan:
TSA agent (checking my ID): "Hawk, like that skateboarder Tony Hawk!"
Me: exactly
Her: "Cool, I wonder what he's up to these days"
Me: this— Tony Hawk (@tonyhawk) March 21, 2017
