The question:
23 What’s your favorite Elton John song, and why?
Your Song. Because it has a sad sound and I like sad songs.
I usually put a piece of jewelry on and wear it for years. I don't know how long I've been wearing the eye in the heart but definitely since before 2012. (Edit: Kathy tells me that a similar one I made her was made in 2005 after brother John's death so I guess I have been wearing this one since at least 2005 or 06 at the latest - 14 years it has been on me!) The tree (I Am at Home Among the Trees) came this year when Kathy's friend Priscilla sent it to me. She also gave one to Kathy and kept one for herself. The silver plating on the word plate behind the tree has already worn off but I like it now in copper. I'm glad the tree is pewter and didn't tarnish. I added the brass bell yesterday when I noticed it hanging on my old unused Black Beauty bike in the basement. I like wearing the bell - a faint sound when I walk. I have had that bell for a very long time. I got it in California from a friend, Buffalo Bob, when my first husband and I were out there in 1976. Bells are good.
My mammogram was an ordeal yesterday. Sometimes they don't hurt at all and sometimes they do. Berdella tells me it is the operator. Maybe so. It hurt, a lot, and then I had to get a second set done with the smaller paddle which always hurts no matter what. When I had the cancer in 2017 they used the small paddle frequently so I knew what was coming when she put it on the machine. And then there was the long wait while they read the second set of images. In my mind I went through the whole future of a second bout of cancer. Could I do it again? Yes. I could. It is worth it to live. But I sure did not want to go through it again. It was a big relief when they told me it was okay. Though not quite perfectly okay. On the report instead of the first box that says Benign they ticked off the second box that says Probably Benign. Baa. Of course I get the mammograms every 6 months anyway now so we'll see next time.
Another beautiful fall day - foggy in the morning and it'll be sunny later. Piano lesson today.
