The reading of Till We Have Faces has wrapped up! I am behind, more on commenting than on the book itself. I am determined to catch up when I have the time. You have no idea how happy I am that readers still engaged in discussion about the book even though I wasn’t able to.

Thank you all for being understanding about the comments! There was an announcement about them on the previous page’s blog post if anyone missed it.

My mom is doing okay, all things considered. She is mostly rather nauseated and fatigued. We have been going on daily walks and painting together, and this week I made stencils of her own eyebrows so she could have them if she loses her eyebrow hairs. We’ve been trying on potential dresses to wear for my sister Alyssa’s wedding. There have been good parts in the midst of everything.

Myself and my doctor and my pharmacy and insurance are all having a grand game of phone tag. Every few days I call for an update on getting my insulin pump covered and they say, “Oh, the process hasn’t started yet. We’ll get the ball rolling.” and then a I’ll check up again and hear the exact same thing. Early on, I was told it would take about 72 hours to be approved. That was 13 days ago.

My Etsy shop has been doing well even though I’m traveling! I put some more original art up on there.

It was interesting reading people’s speculation… Matthew of the last page’s hovertext is one of my sister’s students, who is a Nerdarian.

“I wonder if they always could not have children, or if that’s a side effect of immortality. Can’t eat waffles, can’t have kids, can’t die, but can pull out your own rib! Immortality! What an experience, get it while it lasts (forever)!” – Sarah

“Until reading some comments I was going to say this should put an end to the Blue/Green(way) shipping but I see some of you are still considering… Personally his words don’t lead me to think he could be speaking of an estranged wife and I hold to my conviction that he would be utterly horrified at the idea.” – Lady Merian

“I wonder if Ayran designs things while he is talking about difficult subjects to help him concentrate . . . Like his version of a fidget toy?” – CilantroLime
