My regrets for not making clear the PayPal notice was for US residents in the 47 states that don't have decent privacy laws. And it's probably a specific type of account -- reading the privacy policy in detail is no fun.

I didn't go out to enjoy the lovely weather for some reason over the weekend, which, in retrospect, might have been the onset of an sinus infection. I've missed some work including all day Tuesday. I am thankful for access to telehealth and being able to get an appointment at a convenient time.  I hate missing work for sickness and getting further out of sync with things, particularly when i want to also be taking time off to work outside.

Christine's brother in law has open heart surgery tomorrow. "They will cut through his sternum to implant the device (open heart surgery), which is run forever more on 4-5 pound batteries that he will wear outside his body by way of high fashion accessories." (Christine clarifies it will be two batteries that are drained in parallel for a total of eight to ten pounds worn.)

I'm also holding friends and family in the path of Milton in my heart. I'm glad not to have my grandmother's safety as a weight.
