*clean freedoms*
A little while back I was thinking about freedom of speech in the shower. I'm reasonably certain I washed my hair twice.
I eyed the shampoo bottle and it seemed undisturbed. So, I grabbed it up and began the procedure. In between thoughts of State #censorship and private #deplatforming I began to realize that it was feeling like I had undergone the shampooing *very* recently.
we often line up
we often line up
for the last of something the way
privileged people do,
too easily forgetting
all of those still behind us

Blessed are the forgetful: for they "get the better" even of their blunders. [Selig sind die Vergesslichen: denn sie werden auch mit ihren Dummheiten "fertig".] Quoted by Mary Svevo (Kirsten Dunst) in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).

I always strive to either be on time or early for any appointment, date, whatever. Today I did both at once. I showed up at my doctor's appointment at 10:15 on the dot as I was supposed to. I was, however, four days early.
From the "It was DNS" issues, I add another one
My matrix (tuwunel) server started acting weird, it just wouldn't federate....
After much debugging I ended up checking /etc/docker/daemon.json file where years ago I set up dns0 - this was replaced by dns4eu and the old ips were decommissioned...
Man oh man, life has been crazy recently. Found out grandma has worse dementia (re: Alzheimer's) then I thought and her care was being wholly mismanaged. I took some actions to protect her interests and started guardianship and within 6 days emergency was granted. Realistically I signed the motion on Friday at 3 pm and by 4:30 pm the same day I had letters in hand.

The things I've had to learn in the meantime going from zero knowledge to being versed enough to have real conversations and make considerations for a geriatric patient with dementia and stage 3 CKD. I won't say it's been easy at all, not cheap and will likely be out money... She needed help and money will always come back around.
Keep a eye on the peeps in your family, have them get their end of life stuff in order. Don't wait it's expensive enough to die let alone having to work the system to make decisions when they cant.

A joke between me and Loupy about how I can be forgetful of things I don't write down. My head is too full of thoughts of socks and stuffing to fit other things.
