Thinking and pondering: How much pain is too much? I’m glad that I have an appointment made for early December, but goodness I don’t know if I can make it that far. I’m having 4 pain days for every 3 good ones.

On my bedside table: Fairy Tale by Stephen King; Tunnel of Bones by VE Schwab

Looking around the house: I really need to vacuum. I was going to do it yesterday, but I had a very bad pain day so no go. Maybe I can get it done today. I also need to do laundry and put away all those clothes.

From the camera: Book club by the fire pit. I love fall!
