Given An Out

pshaw_ravenSo the test results actually didn't show anything. The appointment was to review that and the doctor wanted to know how aggressive I want to be in pursuing this. She also poked at me some and noted that nothing seems enlarged or tender, so there's literally nothing going on in there. I'm tired of this, and I don't want to pursue it anymore unless my liver really gets pissy and the enzymes go way up. But the fluctuations have stayed under 100 and nothing else is obviously causing it so meh.
This weekend turned out to be extremely busy so I have no writing or art to show off at the moment. I'm enjoying the milder weather we're having - yes, it's in the 80s in the afternoon, but the nights are cool.
The sky was interesting last night. Our west-facing camera saw a helicopter flying low and sweeping a searchlight at around 2 a.m. I would normally say that's Camp Blanding, but the copter came out of the southwest and headed due east. Then there was a Falcon 9 launch, and we caught part of that on the east camera. We didn't get any shots of Artemis because the launch trajectory didn't take them north-northeast, but if it had we'd have seen it. Kind of hard to miss a 20-story building flying through the air.
If all goes well today I hope to have my afternoons back for ukulele practice, writing, etc. I'm feeling pretty stressed out. I keep wanting a THC margarita when I'm making dinner, but I also don't want to numb out all the time, or to burn through my drinks that quickly. I'm thinking of taking up Tai Chi again - I was starting to teach myself many years ago, but there wasn't a lot of English language info online at the time. Recently I've found a description of a warmup set, several English guides to the forms, videos, and there's a teacher in Fleming Island now who occasionally even teaches the sword forms!
