And now to finally test out the microphone on my desktop. This computer is old, so it doesn't hear me very well. I only like to work out here on my big Windows 10 computer at night. During the daytime, I'm on my Windows 11 laptop. 

So I got a new skillet and I was all excited about it because it has a red dot in the center that's supposed to glow when it's preheated. Well, that's what one source said, another said it fades. However, it did nothing at all. So it was quite a rip-off. Definite false advertising. I could have gotten a regular skillet for half the price. 

Today's health work consisted of attempting to make the appointment with the pulmonologist and also trying to figure out what to do to get this $100 reward you get for doctor's appointments through my insurance. The only problem is that it's Galileo doing the referrals, so we think that's confusing them because I'm going through an app. I swear that for the amount of work he and I do that the doctors and insurance people should be doing, we should be the ones getting paid and not having to pay for this shit ourselves! The lady at the pulmonologist’s office said that she needed office notes from Galileo and then she would call me about scheduling an appointment. So then I had to jump on the app and message Galileo. They soon got back to me and said they took care of it. 

Then I had to return a phone call about some great benefits which didn't turn out to be anything. I spoke to a nurse and Tom asked her questions as well, mostly about the $100. 

I signed up on the portal for the Women's Center but there weren't any forms to fill out. Usually, they want a health history beforehand, but there was nothing there. I'll probably have to fill out 50 forms when I get there. That will be on Wednesday. Not looking forward to it at all. But sure enough, a few days after stopping the Monistat, the burning returned. It's an obvious feeling but nothing maddening. I'd still like to know what the hell it is, although I don't sense that it's anything serious. 

Finished the Spring Fling challenge so now it's back to my 2100-mile trip. So I'm back in France and heading for Belgium. 

I decided to remove my books from Amazon. They just weren't making any money. Writing is such a black-and-white world. You either make a lot of money because you get famous for it, or you don't make shit. Furthermore, anyone who googled me was led to the books, so using a pen name really didn't do me any good. It wouldn't be the end of the world if anyone found them but they just weren't making any money so I didn't see much point in letting them sit there.
