Cal took the words right outta my mouth! On first sight I immediately summoned “In The Arms Of An Angel.” Then with a zoom I think I saw the Muses’ colors at the ends of the “arms.” Of course that’s not to say they aren’t angels…
So Hurrah for your successful trip to the port. 😊 It sounds like you have a busy day ahead, so I know you’ll breeze through it with flying colors! All best!
Me too! I ordered "Flourishing Fictions" this afternoon at Mid-Town Reader. Whenever I walk in I notice a gentle sort of feeling about the premises. Partly the vibe; partly the staff. Almost like talking to a librarian. Just not as whispery.
Very glad to hear your appointments went well today, though not surprised. Tell Thalia not to twirl so much. It makes me dizzy!
Another morning behind you. Just keep wracking up those successes, Gail. :) I hope the muses help you stay organized--it's like a crash course in cancer care. (Say that three times fast, lol!)
Yes… There are self directed computer check-in stations that ask a bunch of questions and collect your co-pay. Today it showed an amount I owe… probably what has gone through insurance so far. Computers are so much faster than paper statements.
I assume by this point I’ve well exceeded our yearly out of pocket maximum. 🤔 Haven’t received any insurance statements or physical bills yet.
You indeed filled the KDP out properly. Estimated arrival is 2-3 days from today.
Good news on the liver is indeed good news!
The Instagram from Ukraine librarians illustrates the same courage and wry humor I read from the people I follow on Twitter. Reporters. Teachers. Politicians. Nurses. Mothers. Even their president. Today I made a modest contribution to Ukraine’s Defense Department. After vetting the details with my credit card issuer, the transaction took seconds. If I could set up a “Go Fund Me” page for a dozen first rate jet fighters and proper armaments, I’d be so grateful to bring that to fruition. A common thought I see often is like that of the librarian. One today calmly stated that “when this is over I would like to travel around the world to meet the people who have offered their kindness and support. Perhaps sit and sip coffee and chat.” “If” is not interchanged with “when.”
School children in Russia are demonstrating against the war (and being jailed). A picture from Ukraine showed women feeding a young Russian soldier (who was lost and not sure why he had been sent there). She let him video chat with his mother using her phone. Great demonstrations of human kindness framed within terrible cruelty. The Universe is always friendly. Sometimes the proportion to unfriendliness is hard to grasp.

🙃 So far so good.

Yahoo! That must mean I filled out my Amazon KDP correctly if a book store can access and bring it in. Thank you Gary!
In other news… liver has been cleared!
Oh happy day!
I wish I could put pictures in comments. Today I saw this on Instagram:
Bloody hell. Looking at a message
from the Ukraine Library
Association concerning the
cancellation of their forthcoming
conference. it basically says
"We
will reschedule just as soon as we
have finished vanquishing our
invaders". Ukrainian Librarians, I
salute you!

I've just had my first taste of "you owe this much" from the check-in screen this morning. I ignored it.
Do you mean financially? What you owe the hospital?
Yes… There are self directed computer check-in stations that ask a bunch of questions and collect your co-pay. Today it showed an amount I owe… probably what has gone through insurance so far. Computers are so much faster than paper statements.

You're smart to ignore those figures. Focus on your healing and staying positive. :)
I’m a procrastireader — I’ll get to my list once I finish this book. 😁
[Done with the grammar lessons, now moving into quips from catalog t-shirts.]
>>we got a butter burger, fries, and a chocolate malt on the way home
How to say "I live in Wisconsin" without saying you live in Wisconsin. (Okay, probably upper Midwest.)
It was so good... It was my only meal yesterday and then I had to fast again this morning!
I'm going to feel out the people in the chairs around me tomorrow. If there are a bunch of Thursday regulars... maybe we can start a book club!

2-3 days… that’s fantastic. One day I’d love to visit the bookshop.
Do you remember this? It’s a favorite of mine. I’ve shared it a few times.

I just watched this video! An important message. Might even have some applicability to me?
All of us?
When you're older!
