And in the center ring...
Just so people know what's going on with a number of issues...if you want to comment, do so on Facebook.
Paperwork for the last tranche of the relocation money (about $5800) has been faxed to the relocation people in Phoenix, who assured me that the check went in the mail this afternoon and should show up by Friday. So I have that to look forward to. I am pretty much down to marching on my chinstrap - there's about $2 left in the credit union between savings & checking, another buck in PayPal, and $15 or so in GoBank. Fortunately, I'm feeling well enough to drive 3-4 hours a night for Uber*, and it's possible to find decent hotels to stay in for $20 a night. Unfortunately, the resort fees and taxes tend to push that back up towards $50 a night. So if you're feeling generous this week, let me encourage you to throw money at my PayPal.
My leg wounds have nearly finished healing up - the one on my left leg has completely healed, and my right leg is almost there. Compression stockings have been replaced by Spandaflex bandages for the duration, I'm seeing my primary care doc tomorrow, and that's pretty much all there is to say about that.
May have a short story collection (mostly SF, but some urban fantasy/horror in there as well) out in time for Christmas, depending on whether the cover art is ready in time. We'll see.
Now I need to get dressed and drive.
*Dr. K and the wound care folks don't like it, but I have rent to pay, unless someone or several somebodies throw a lot of money at my PayPal.
