Knee pain flare after walks., going to rest and ice it for a bit before continuing the day. Need to clean a bit and do some laundry. Still no biopsy call yet. 🙄 I guess quickly meant medical field quickly. So maybe in a month or two?

厳しい顔のキツネさん、優しい顔でこどもをあやすキツネさん。 こうやっていつ行っても馴染みの顔がいらっしゃることがどれだけ参拝者にとって励みになるだろう。思わず「また来ましたよー」と話しかけてしまう。 やはり、仏像もそうだけど、生き物をかたどった偶像というのは人のこころの拠り所になりうるものだと思う。 話しかけられているような気がする。 話を聞いてくれているような気がする。 それだけでどれだけ心が落ち着くことか。

If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.

nice, now Stripe is auto-opting people into a nickel charge per transaction for "AI-enhanced" protection shit they never asked for you can change it back to their free "Lite" version, but the fact that it's opt-out by default is so fucking annoying

A lot of my fear has died down some, so hoping to actually sleep tonight. Still no call from the surgery center, but reminding myself it would be incredibly rare for anything to be wrong, and it not just be my weird ass immune system. Still just want to get it over with.
