I bought a new website. tarotythoughts.com I will attempt to empty out my brain about tarot, showcase my cards, and discuss all things tarot/oracle. Books, cards, meanings, all that kind of thing.
I got a hospital bed. It’s small, uncomfortable, and hot. I’ll have to pump up my ride with a mattress topper or something. No falls this week, which is good. Also didn’t gain a lot of weight. I’m leaving dialysis at 92 kg. You do the calculations.
Also, I got the Omnipod 5, which is the newest insulin pump. In three weeks I’ll go for “training” in how to use it and program it using my phone. Yet another reason to keep my phone next to me. It also reads the Dexcom G7 information and adjusts the insulin based on my actual glucose reading. Technology, when it works, is amazing.
I haven’t done any writing this week. I did a lot of slush reading in Cupid’s Arrow. The Director is planning on opening it up for submissions next year. I don’t know how I feel about that. In a way, I want him to dump that imprint, but romance sells. Unfortunately, we don’t have the people to go to events to put our name out there. That’s the thing. People like books. There’s a huge romance fan base. We just have to find them. And two people, doing most of the work, for three imprints, is tough. He does a lot of the work. I just do the editing and other fun stuff.
My therapist said something this week that I have kept in my brain. “You are the strongest person I know.” Really? REALLY? It makes my heart swell with that. And that is my affirmation for the week. “Be strong.”
