Google Maps has changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

The international community will still refer to this as the Gulf of Mexico.

Grocery prices are on the rise, egg shortages have been widespread, bird flu cases are increasing but this is the most important pressing issue to Donald Trump.

Cela fait un petit moment que je n'ai pas parlé à cœur ouvert.

Je me suis lancée dans une folle aventure en cette année 2024.

Fin août, j'ai quitté la Bourgogne pour rejoindre l'île de France. Parce que je vais mieux donc je me sens apte à retourner y vivre. C'est comme si ces 3 années en Bourgogne m'avait apaisés pour mieux redémarrer.

Mais aussi beaucoup de choses ont changé. Je suis professeure des ecoles, j'ai une classe de Cm1 depuis la rentrée, et j'aime ce métier. C'est la première fois que je me sens autant vivre. Je suis différente, je ne porte pas de masque, je suis moi même avec les enfants. Peut être parce qu'eux ne me jugent pas...

D'ailleurs j'ai écouté un podcast sur les adultes femmes Tsa, et j'avoue avoir été troublée. Me suis je reconnue dans ces témoignages ? Peut être.

J'ai aussi repris la natation et j'en suis fière. Je n'ai pas atteint tous mes objectifs, mais je progresse chaque jour, un pas après l'autre.

J'ai également quelqu'un dans ma vie depuis 1 an et wow, quel changement. S'il savait au combien je l'aime, il en serait désarmé. Bien que nous soyons en désaccord, il m'a toujours soutenue (et ça fait du bien). Même en lui parlant de choses moins jolies, je ne me sens pas jugée par ce que je dis. Au contraire. J'aime notre complicité meme à travers certaines tempêtes.

L'année 2024 n'est pas encore terminée, mais je crois avoir fait de grands pas pour moi et pour mon avenir.

Quand à vous qui me lisez parfois, j'aimerais simplement vous dire que derrière chaque bourrasque apparaît l'arc en ciel, même si cela prend des années.

Avec tendresse, UniqueIvresse.

Ooops!

My bad. I accidentally read the news of the day and found out some weird shit. People are rooting for a murderer and something about a drunk being in charge of the military ; and a whole of 💩 with Elon, and insurance companies not paying for all the anesthesia for surgeries and all the crazy shit with Cheeto Benito.

Time for me to crawl back under my rock.

The Trump administration has cancelled thousands of flights for refugees that went through years of vetting and security checks who most of which fled from war and persecution.

This includes Afghan refugees who helped the United States against the Taliban in critical stages during the War in Afghanistan who were approved to resettle in the United States following years of vetting now stranded with no where to go.

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.

My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.

The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.

I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???
