I went to my annual (or multi-year in my case) breast cancer check up. The doctor examined me and gave me a slip for both a MRI and mammogram. I missed last year so I need to get the tests soon. I wore my tiara as usual, no matter the weird looks I get. That tiara has power to keep me breast cancer free! It was given to me by a close friend.

Tonight was the Arthritis Group meeting. We have been doing social online gatherings. It is a small but great group. We try to do themes but it doesn't always work. This time it was July 4th.
I wish we had more participants but it is hard to recruit. I know there are people out there with rheumatoid arthritis.

Today was my ex-foster kids group meeting. We all get together to discuss how things are going with him. He doesn't have to attend summer school and he will be graduating high school!! I know for some people that doesn't sound like a big deal but for foster kids. 61% of foster kids graduate high school vs 83% of non-foster kids. He is registered for a two-year college. 2-6% of foster kids earn a degree from a 2-year school vs. 50% of non-foster kids earn a degree from a 4-year college. I am super proud of him.

Miss Vivien Butterfly's prior foster mother (Vivien was surrendered to a shelter, who sent her to live with a foster before I went to get her) came over to visit. We are going to help each other reach our goals. She needs a person to bounce ideas off and to help with tech stuff and I need someone to help me figure out how to start my goal.
My goal is to sell my candies. Everyone says they taste good and look good. It is a fun dream that would allow me to work in another field. I am tired of working in my current field.

I have not been meditating enough and I feel it. The three of us had a kind of falling out while I was away in the van. One of the participants seemed to get their feelings hurt when I spoke about my trip, while the other person wanted to hear what happened. The person with the hurt feelings decided to drop out of the trio.
The remaining person and I need to do more meditating and less talking.
Until tomorrow...
We decided to go for a hike on Independence Day. It was nice and we got some outdoor air. I unfortunately missed my annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. My favorite competitive eater, Joey Chestnut, was not there. I am trying to get outside more often for my mental health.

I had to go to the dentist today. During my van trip, I kept feeling like a cavity or crown was getting loose. I just kept willing it to not come out on the trip. The dentist said it was an old cavity and it needed to go. She began drilling out the filling and too much of the tooth had to be drilled. So, I get another crown. 😞 I got a temporary filling and will have to come back in 3 weeks.
Until tomorrow...
I had to take Miss Vivien Butterfly to the vet again for the third time. She is has a weird sort of cut under her bottom lip on her chin. I thought she hurt herself but it turns out it is an ingrown hair that was infected. I need to put a balm on the spot for a week or so and it should go away.
Until tomorrow...
This morning the electrician is visiting to give me a quote for a 240 amp plug for my new electric car. I can't get a faster plug because my house is so old. At least this will be a plug that won't trip the circuit breaker. Since I have solar, the electricity is basically free. Long live the sun!
Until tomorrow...
