  • It’s not the same, but I’ve been having fun with spoonflower.com. Thousands of independent designers with hundreds of prints each, available to be printed on any of their 20ish fabric types . You can order a box of fabric samples to see what each type feels like and how the ink looks on each one.

    But chatting with the crafty ladies in line, getting all nosey with my shopping basket is irreplaceable 😭












  • Typically you would not be mailed results from a manual exam, the doctor discusses it with you at the time, adds it to your medical record, advises further action on anything “remarkable” and schedules that for you at the time.

    The mammographer is not a doctor and is not allowed to analyze or discuss your results, they get sent to a doctor for that and then you get a letter in the mail about your hopefully unremarkable breasts.

    You might be mailed results if you had a biopsy, but they would say “negative.” They would call you with a positive, benign or malignant result.







  • After the power company (PG&E) got blamed and sued for some big fires that destroyed entire neighborhoods in 2017, they got salty and decided to cut power whenever there were high winds predicted during red flag (high fire risk) days. The worst one was 15 days. I’m on a well with an electric pump, so there was no water for those days either.

    Also, I lived off grid for about four years with only enough solar to either charge a phone (no service though) or run a light bulb in the evening. I did go to town to check my email and read the news every week or so.
