Medical Stuff Good news! My knee surgery got canceled because of the last minute cardio clearance request. Passed echo, but failed stress. Did heart cath yesterday & NO BLOCKAGES! ❤️ Is healthy & my arteries are "beautiful." All clear for surgery now!

Of all the wrong I've done the wrong I've done to animals haunts me the most. I think some of it is being THAT white girl, but the fact that I can't make amends with the individual like with ppl. With people I have more time. I also believe the best apology is changed behavior.

Cleon of Kennan was in my head, giving his besties weirdly flowery nicknames before I ever heard of Leslie Knope or Ann Perkins—if I call you “darling dewdrop”, “pearl of my heart”, “glittering daffodil of springtime sunshine” or anything equally ridiculous, it’s this dork’s fault, not Leslie’s. 😆😂

A page from Tamora Pierce’s novel, “Page”: 

"I'm going to treat you with the reverence I reserve for the Crown Jewels," Roald assured her, his eyes crinkled with mirth.
"Me too," added Seaver and Merric.
"I'll treat you with reverence once you help me with classwork, O moon of mathematical wisdom," said Cleon lazily. He still addressed Kel by flowery names, not having tired of it yet. "And you, girl, take my advice," he added, pointing at Lalasa. "Just carry a lead-weighted baton. Then you don't have to be fancy."
