surgery update. Sorry, no writing dine today.
A moment of clarity, while recovering from anaethetic and pre pain- meds tonight. Pain is doable so far (fibromyalgia and migraine sufferer = different pain scale). Hospital allowed Dearheart in room to try to curb panic attack. There was still a minor one.
Please get a breast cancer check. You're life could depend on it.

Yeah, nah. Don't think I'll drink that cuppa. Dec 1st, and Summer is definitely here. (Perhaps he needed caffeine more than me?)

The weather is haywire atm, though I must admit I'm liking the cooler weather. I never look forward to 0% humidity/45+°C of our scorching summers. (Ex-Qlder) Hoping we'll have a shorter fire danger season this year.

I have a notebook by the bed for writing middle of the night story inspirations. Just wish I could read what was scribbled in the dark.
