I still have a few days of pre-scheduled blog posts. After that I am finished for a while. I try to do right by poetry, poets, but I don’t have any energy left right now. Uuuuuuunnnnnnnnnngggggg.
I have a week and a half of medical tests scheduled at VUMC next month & I’ve ordered those dorky anti-gravity pants. I don’t care if I look like an idiot. 
Take care, have a great Thanksgiving, and I shall return.
