SO I'm going to my first protest since the Occupy movement in 2010. No Kings Day, Sept 18th. Noon to 4pm at Waterfront Park. In the spirit of the recent protests at the ICE facility (FUCK ICE by the way), my mom got me an inflatable costume to wear. The Dump says we're violent. No, we are Portland silly. And when the rest of the world sees what he calls "violent," maybe they will understand that the man just spews lies. And yes, the Revolution WILL be televised. I need to figure out what I want to put on my protest sign. Just "No Kings"? "Fuck ICE"? or maybe a simple "No Justice, No Peace". Ugh, so much to choose from, thanks to this disgusting administration.
I still can't believe we are still in the first year. He and his cabinet have already done so much damage, I'm scared to see what the country will be like three years from now.
In other news, dialysis is.... going. Not well, sadly, because of my "fluid gains," which I really think are mostly calorie gains. But I finally got Mounjaro, so hopefully the gains will come off quickly. It's nice to get out of the house, though, and I like my techs.
Therapy is good, groups are going well, although sometimes I have to fight off the urge to drink. Most of the time I'm fine, though. I've never really had a problem with alcohol (save for the few isolated incidents), but I am still learning things.
Ok, I'm running out of things to say, there's my update. Now to go look for that cardboard..
