Got my invite for my Covid and flu shots! 👍🏻

Have to talk to the oncologist first to see if I can actually get them. 😭

one of the various things i have my hands in is Andrea's Adventurers, which was set up by @wisdomcheck.ca to support Cancer Research

which means we get to play games, people get to donate to make things more exciting, and there are also goodies in a silent auction! including signed Delta Green?!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Hi, yes, everything is terrible, but my book, I Think I'm in Love with an Alien, is cozy & cute.

If you want more trad pub alien romances from me, pls read, rec & review. Otherwise I won't get to write more. That'd be sad. I wanna write about Poppy and Ravik.

I thought I’d cover some of the side effects I’ve been having since finishing the 6-8 week recovery from radiation and starting a new chemo protocol.

Re-upping my thread on Canada Post.

E-commerce in Canada ONLY EXISTS because of Canada Post. Without it, everyone is paying a private US shipping company to send everything through a parcel service.

I can ship a book via oversized letter mail from Calgary to Halifax for $4.44. Do you think UPS would ship it that cheap? No. It's $15. And that money goes to America.

I could do the fatigue without the brain fog, because then I could read or do computer work. Alas… fog-scrolling and binge watching for the next few days. 😮‍💨
