Done Since 2023-10-08

Last week started with a small earthquake, with the epicenter only a few km away, but 55km down -- startling but nothing to worry about. And ended with a annular solar eclipse -- about 80% as seen from Seattle. My first annular, which is pretty cool. I'll have to travel if I want to catch the total eclipse next April.

In between, I got the results from my biopsy last week, had another CT scan on Friday, and scheduled a bone scan for next Wednesday. So I will probably have Real Answers(TM) by next Friday evening. At which point I may be able to make plans. As I mentioned Friday before last, I'm not thrilled with how my body is behaving these days. It should behave.

In other news, antimatter falls down, not up. But kind of as compensation, 60 Years of Doctor Who drops on BBC iPlayer; see the online archive. If you're not in the UK you'll need a VPN.

Content Warning: same as ast week: medical TMI, including some things (mainly on Wednesday) that may very well be disturbing. I'm a little surprised that I'm not all that disturbed -- being a pessimist apparently has some advantages.
