Medical and medical-ish appointments update: Today's appointment was rescheduled by the provider (🙌🏼) so I kinda sorta have the day off, but I'm too exhausted to do anything productive. Just three more days to go.

1) Go see if Mitch is alive. 2)Someone has emails and texts from Elon saying he rigged the election. Check it. 3)Presidents don’t make $2B while in office. Stop him 4) It’s illegal not to releaseThe Epstein Files. Do it. It’s not rocket science. Also don’t go where Lord Dampnut is doing stand up.

Day 4 of medical stuff is over, and I want to talk about it in hopes of helping others. I went to the dermatologist 2weeks ago because I noticed an old mole/birthmark I've had for as long as I can remember recently got darker They did a biopsy. It came back as basal cell carcinoma - skin cancer.

Day 3 of medical appointments this week. Just some simple lab work, but I think the last three days caught up with me because I'm beyond exhausted. One major appointment tomorrow and then I can (hopefully) rest for two days.

Day 1 of 9 days of medical appointments complete. Today was lab work and an x-ray. It doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm exhausted 😴 I'm basically useless for the rest of the day.
