Manchin's daughter and so many other ills.

From the Intercept:

"According to newly unsealed court documents acquired by The Intercept, Sen. Joe Manchin’s daughter, a former pharmaceutical CEO, collaborated directly with the CEO of Pfizer to keep EpiPen prices artificially high.

Heather Bresch — then the CEO of Mylan, which holds a patent for EpiPens — orchestrated a scheme in which Pfizer would divest from its EpiPen competitor, giving Mylan a virtual monopoly on the lifesaving medication. In just a few short years, the price for two EpiPens skyrocketed from $100 to $600.

As Manchin threatens to tank President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion infrastructure package, which would threaten pharmaceutical profits by allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices."

Oh God give me STRENGTH! 

 I'm tired and want to run away to Iceland, or maybe Greenland.  Yes, most likely Greenland...

So, that's where I'll be if anyone still cares.  I'll be in Greenland, studying the ice, or what's left of it.

Wolfie Update:

He dances on the edge of his days.. sometimes up and sometimes definitely down.  At times we feel like we should make "the call", but then he will rally and be his own little self again.  However, we can see that final edge coming somewhere in the near distance. 

I  remodeled and mended his bed, with DH's help, so that Wolfie can get in and out of it comfortably.   Using a trusty upholstery needle from our re:upholstering days, I sewed an entry into the bed wall, and even got enough to make a little wrapper (yet to be finished off with an crochet hook) from the scraps. 

 And now, the future soap holder for my nice handmade soaps. 

A little soap pouch will be prettied up..

There you have it.  And welcome to my Quiet, Peaceful, little Mundane World.
