🐑⚓️🐑 NAVAJO CHURRO SHEEP 🐑⚓️🐑
"Across high seas in wooden galleons, each introduced a genetically distinct breed with origins in various regions of Old Spain. Together, these four distinct breed lines merged to become the renowned Navajo Churro of the southwest."

🏫🏫🏫 Navajo Boarding Schools, some notes.
"When it was time to eat, all the kids (Navajo plus other tribes) had to form a single long line. Each child was identified not by their name, but by a number. Manny was number 59. When called, it meant she was to step forward to take her meal tray..."
"Navajo culture - aka Diné - is rich, sophisticated, robust, ancient. As a lily-white woman from northern New Jersey, this nursing home, with its many Navajo employees from the nearby reservation, is the closest I’ve ever been to the Diné world. It's been an honor and a privilege..."

The nursing home I'm in. I call it McHealthcare...
Senator Warren - whose specialty is bankruptcy law - now has Genesis in her sights. Expect Congressional hearings out of this. She has a statement up on her website, and now these YouTubes.

🙈😭🙈 HIDING 🙈😭🙈
I'm usually a major stoic when having a medically bad day. Why? In part, a Nordic upbringing. But there's more.
Years, hiding out in the "Disability Closet." It's primal, this instinct to mask our weaknesses. Over 20+ years, I fine-honed masking, fearing loss of family, friends, business, independence. Who wants to hear about pain? Soul-crushing fatigue? Costly specialists? No one, not really.

Yet another vile meal at the nursing home. Mystery meat. Peas. Fake ice cream. Mystery beverage...
👉 Low quality everything
👉 Bland, dry, tasteless
👉 Empty calories
👉👉👉 Another absolutely disgusting dinner here at the nursing home...
*Supposedly* it's lasagne. And that is a heap of very distressed lettuce to the side - old, limp, browning. No salad dressing either. Just UGH.
🍁🍁🍁Autumn has arrived in the nursing home courtyard.
A bit dismal at eye level, what with the dead plants, garden detritus and all.
But then there it is - A brilliant autumn yellow against a late afternoon New Mexico blue sky. Nippy winter biting at my ears. A hot coffee in my hand.
😨😨😨 Disgusting dinner tonight here at the nursing home - small portion overcooked spaghetti, pile of wet croutons, scoop of rotten lettuce, dripping with... something. Seriously awful.
