No cavities for me at the dentist. Yahoo! (not that I was worried) I am thankful that I have good teeth to start with, and I have always taken care of them.
The Mothership's rt. leg which "weeps" is another story. The sore on the left leg has heeled finally. Yay for that. The weepy or leaky leg secretes fluid. It's gross, and apparently an aging thing, especially in your 90s as your heart slows down. It's normal-not-normal: normal due to her age so it's common. Not normal because of the fluid thing and creation of open sores that need professional care. Nope...no sepsis...don't want that crap...nope. Thus, we are going weekly to wound care.
My best friend's dad who fell and cracked his head 2 weeks ago and recovered is now back in the hospital with a UTI and pneumonia. Sigh. He's 92. Her sister had a seizure from an unknown allergy (they know now!), so my friend will have to deal with things on her own, which is super hard for her. Her husband will not support her flying to Florida to see her dad, which is a complicating factor. He's too controlling, IMO...Not an evil, bad person, but super controlling.
I called friend "L" last PM just to be nice. We have not talked much since election time. (Her side did not win, if you get what I mean. Well, she believes her side won but had the election "stolen" to be more specific.) She tries to turn everything into politics or COVID being a hoax and the vaccine(s) being dangerous and evil. Every fckn conversation takes this route anymore. I feel so done, but I hate to be shitty to a friend and write her off just because of one difference since 1994 when we met. I am not hard core attached to any political ideology or famous political person, but she has gone overboard. Sigh... She's gone more conservative over time and I have gone more liberal. (I actually prefer the term 'open-minded'.)
Writing Life:
I am nearly finished w another Adoption book I started a long time ago and had no time to complete. I finished 1 and wrote up my review last week for the NAAP Newsletter. This book review is all mine now. I can post whenever, which will help drive some sales for my books, so 2 books done and done in a way. Next up is to read a book that a writers group friend has been sharing. It's kinda like reading instead of watching a sappy Lifetime TV movie, so it's not that engaging to me. Her ideas are good, but her delivery is bland and cliched. I don't want to offend her. She wants to know anything I have learned from her book and what my general "take away" is. Guess I will have to get thru 5 more chapters to figure this out, but any mental light bulbs sure haven't come on yet for me. Ack! This lady is too sweet and dear to pan or offend. She is just not skilled on delivery, so her work lacks dynamic and pizzaz. She is fine with self pubbing, so getting the attention of an agent is not her priority anyway. She just wants to write and sell books as a retirement hobby. She used to be a nurse. IMO she should write more about that than corny, cozy romances with helpless heroines who can't catch a break and need their man to save them.
