Nothing changed since I last posted. Same juice, same hardware. I'm almost through the last tankful of my blackcurrant meringue mix. Got a big bottle of a (hopefully) improved version on the shelf. Looking forward to trying that later today. Should let it steep some more but I never do.
Just got an invitation for next Sat which made my blood run cold. We have an old neighborhood friend who has late stage cancer. She's shaky but we still walk the dogs with her every night. She has a longstanding group of girlfriends, they went to catholic high school together and stayed close ever since. Those friends got together and set up a Celebration of Life for her at our Town Hall. I've been to them before but never in advance. Not only is she not dead but she's starting a new immunotherapy treatment next week which the docs say could give her another couple of years. She told them she didn't want to do the C of L but they went ahead anyway. We are all supposed to bring tulip bulbs for a memorial garden and make a short speech about what a fine person she was / is. Something is just all wrong about this.
