Done Since 2018-11-11

I have, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, kept up my daily posting schedule. Some of the posts have been random babbling, of course. You'll find the stats at the end of the notes.

Wednesday L noticed that the fluid-filled cyst on Desti's shoulder had apparently drained itself -- I made a vet appointment for that afternoon to have it checked. She has another appointment a week from Monday to get it removed. Wish us luck.

Thursday Colleen had labs done in preparation for her urology appointment tomorrow; Friday her doctor called and told her to get to her nephrologist ASAP. It looks like she may need dialysis. So Monday's appointment will be with the nephrologist instead. Bletch. Friday we were both kind of in shock. N came up Friday evening to help us deal with it -- my little sister is wonderful.

That's also why I posted The Mary Ellen Carter under s4s yesterday.

Following up on Friday's post about the Kilogram, I posted a couple of haiku yesterday as my contribution to the Crowdfunding Creative Jam. And if you want to dig deeper, NIST has put up a detailed write-up on the SI redefinition. It's a lot more readable than either my post or the Wikipedia articles I linked to.
