down to cmc and back yesterday in the rain and fog; place looked so empty and quiet. Woman talking loudly in the hallway to friend on her phone filled me in. cmc bought a year ago by hca, largest chain of hospitals in the world; hdqtrs in Nashville. Bela inside about half an hour and they took her early. Valet parking worked fine. All smooth. Back for lunch by 2 or so. Still---strong ptsd depression reaction in me. Wanted to be in dhmc instead, snobbery for sure. Probably would have had same reactions. Hospitals anywhere everywhere. Whole process. I texted Sarah that if it were moi I would shift the process to dhmc; snobbery no doubt but the patient must be comfortable. Ok, when will Gilani telephone us with results and his suggestions and recommendations? Week? Will there be a procedure at all? When? Meanwhile?
Spent twenty minutes figuring out again, each month, how to pag nm gas bill. That co also just bought; will it change the online payment and terrible web site?
Nothing scheduled today. Hooray. Launder sheets; wear cool new vest from 32 bar blues. Mail in the absentee ballots. Read more of Disappearers. Trying not to react against it. Meaning I'm about two-thirds through; do I always tire of a big book at this point? Is my admiration for it still as strong as at the start? It is remarkable and amazing and as so many have said "visceral" as well as much else. Dissertation wars will figure the queers against the post-colonialists, all about Jamaica and the Brits, the native and the empire. We watched a few episodes of The Jewel in the Crown. Jamaica was never the jewel but it must have been a good cash cow for a good while. Could look up a quick history. Richest island in the Caribe?
