 I am determined to be up-to-date on all of my health checks, so the past couple of weeks have been all about various check-ups. I got two vaccines I had not finished up (Shingles and Pneumococcal, the last being recommended for folks with asthma,) a hearing test (which I wrote about yesterday,) and then today I did my mammogram and a DEXA (which is bone density) check.  

Whoo.

I am turning 55 this year, so I figure it's important to have, at the very least, a baseline from here on out. 

I got all that done, so I guess I feel accomplished. Go me!  The only other thing that is probably overdue is a vision test. 

The only other thing of interest to report is, rather ironically, another live stream, albeit of a very different sort than HeyGo. I was finally able to watch my goddaughter Naomi's play. She is starring in The Queers. Here's a review: https://judy-nedry.com/fuse-theatre-ensemble-presents-the-queers/ ; and another: https://www.wweek.com/arts/theater/2022/03/15/the-queers-is-about-transgender-characters-living-loving-and-fighting-for-acceptance/

I've been thinking about the play ever since I saw it. I don't love it unequivocally, though I, of course, adore Naomi's acting. For myself, I had a lot of trouble sympathizing with characters who seemed hellbent on self-sabotaging the few good things in their lives. This play is partly autobiographical, however, so that explains a lot of that, I think. I don't know. It's certainly a testimony to the strength of the show that I'm still pondering it and having emotional reactions to it, days later.

Good for you. An inspiration to us all. I keep resolving to get caught up on all those things, but haven't made a lot of progress.

WhereaS *I* scheduled a vision test for ASAP and have already chosen my new frames at Perspectives on 50th and Xerxes, at *your* recommendation!

good for you! That was actually the one medical thing I finally did after cowering inside for the first 18 months of the pandemic. It's a nice place, right? And Dr. Marcy managed to come up with a prescription for me that magically eliminated the double vision problem.

Oh no, that is like my favourite kind of fiction. Good for her, though!

That is absolutely valid. I've encountered media like that.
