martianmooncrabI went to worldcon in seattle, and it was a good con despite the death march from the hotel to the convention center. Uphill both ways... sigh. the only downside was I got a call from Doug to let me know his wife Ru Emerson died aug 14th ... I am devestated, we have been friends for 35-40 years, we did cons together.. she helped me with my yard and garden (she was a master gardener!) I could go on but she was my friend, and I miss her so. Almlost lost her a few years back to ovarian cancer but she was a fighter. Her Daddy was a Pearl Harbor survivor, I mean, she had stories... both the ones she wrote and the ones she lived. I even sold them my gold ford focus when I no longer needed it. sigh.
I was in Bremerton visiting friends, another old friend is currently dying so I had a chance to visit him in his care facility, he may be gone by Yule.
health update, since I actually saw Dermatology this week, new diagnosis is psorasis, so treatments have changed, and pretty much other than the antibiotics I have wasted the last 3 months trying to get the rash under control. Biopsy was taken, so in 1-2 weeks, I will find out my schedule for the injections in the clinic to get this under control. I hope. I still shedding skin off my ass at an alarming rate, so I am still in my reptile era.
next week is sibling birthdays my sister would have been 77 on monday and my brother will be 73 on wednesday
I am tired and yes, I am depressed. Seems my world is getting smaller, each loss diminishes me a bit more. It really amps up my abandonment issues.
