I knew that something around this time was familiar. Turns out it’s 10 years since the Snowden revelations. [www.theguardian.com/us-news/2…](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/07/edward-snowden-10-years-surveillance-revelations)
My caregiver is going on vacation for almost a week. We did a whole lot of cooking in preparation yesterday. Last weekend was interesting. On Friday night I got to go out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle and my dad, and Monday we had a barbicue.
Mother’s day.
Yesterday I went to my sister’s for Mother’s day dinner. My nearly 3 year old niece was there, she’ll turn 3 in July. She’s finally started giving and taking things from me. I was already prepared for Mother’s day. I got my mom a card and a gift certificate to a local nursery on Wednesday.
My 11 year old niece was with a friend. Not sure where my step niece was, most likely with her mom, since it was Mother’s day. My parents and sister and brother in law played cornhole, but didn’t let me play. Most likely because there was no one there to play with me, and if my 11 year old niece was there she and I probably could’ve played together.
Happy Mother’s day to everyone! I had planned to go to church this morning, and then celebrate with family later. This morning at around 7:45, my ride to church texted and said they wouldn’t be going, and that I’d need to find another way there. I called someone else to try and find another ride, but they never called back.
Yesterday my caregiver and I had a busy day. We went to the park and swung on the swings, of all things. After that we went to her house so she could give me her Keurig that she isn’t using. She actually got a new one, but she couldn’t get it to work. Afterwards, we went to get mom a Mother’s day gift.
On April 11th, 2019, Julian #Assange was arrested. Today is the fourth anniversary of the day I woke up to the news of that event. I still remember looking at tweets, and finding out via Twitter.
Well I’m just going to have to find these things earlier, or it’s going to be a long 10 weeks. Audio of the Vallow openings.

Not sure how she does it, but she managed to live tweet and transcribe most everything at the same time. If you’re thorough enough at it, the live tweets almost make a transcript.

Yeah, since the judge pulled the plug on live streaming in Vallow, we now have to deal with live tweets, and apparently recordings that are delayed by days. Not a great time for Musk to close the Twitter API and block my third-party client, but that happened last week. Yeah I can use the web interface, and I wouldn’t have a problem if this were my personal account, but when you’re trying to keep up with real-time, it’s slow.
Openings today in the Lori Vallow trial. Just in case you don’t remember, her kids went missing in 2020, this played out during Covid. She got married in Hawaii. Case is not being telivised so we get to follow via the old-fashioned way of Twitter lol. Why the Judge pulled the plug in the middle of the proceedings is beyond me. Meanwhile, I’m following a case out of Colorado. It’s expected to take two months.
