Now playing- One of my dad’s records. Original 1965 pressing. I never used to like Joan’s singing; I felt she over-sang. But this sounds quite good to me now. #joanbaez #farewellangelina #vanguardrecords #vinyl #originalpressing (at Muscle Shoals, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKAPgFLBHP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Now spinning. Never really checked this out before despite owning it for many years and being a big Creedence fan.

Well crud. I’ve got to put my hand out again. People are wanting their money (bills). Called Social Security again today about my Disability, which I understood I “automatically” qualified for due to my leukemia and stem cell transplant. They told me to check back next week. “Next week” ain’t gonna work with my landlord and the utility company. Geez I feel bad about asking for help yet again. Thanks SO MUCH to everyone for helping out over the past year plus. (P.S. Has anyone got experience with Alabama’s social services programs? I can’t make heads or tails out of their website.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFxzAWvw2w/?utm_medium=tumblr

Now playing. I’ll tell you, when I’m feeling sick I don’t even want to listen to music; Even some of the best ever. Isn’t it a pity? But all things must pass. So glad to be feeling better. #georgeharrison #allthingsmustpass #vinyl #vinylrecords #beatles #beatlessolo #fluanceturntable (at Muscle Shoals, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYCd8sNvxG0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Leukemia update selfie. Had a bone marrow biopsy today, the first since my stem cell transplant, to see where I am in the healing process. I’m feeling good. That’s a good sign. Fun fact I learned today. Let’s say I assaulted someone (and I have no plans to do such a thing; just watching a lot of Law and Order SUV lately) and she scratched me and drew blood. The skin under her nails would have my DNA, while any blood I spilled would have my donor’s DNA. So investigators would think that two people committed the crime. Crazy. I’ve still got my Go Fund Me campaign going. I’m now officially unemployed and paying bills out of savings. Doc said today, “You’re only job is to heal.” If you’d like to help, here’s the link again (it’s also in my bio). I know you have bills, too, so take care of yourself and your family first. https://gofund.me/93f12533 #leukemia #leukemiawarrior #singersongwriter #selfie #teacher #staypositive #staysafe (at Crozet, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUkLQyBqqw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Crane over UVA Hospital. When I was actually hospitalized for my transplant I’d watch it working and take comfort in its pair of flashing blue lights at night. #crane #construction #cancerfighter #leukemia #stemcelltransplant (at UVA Cancer Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-En_rhrLC/?igshid=u38n4xdq9sux

View from the transfusion center in Charlottesville this morning, where I didn’t need any blood transfusion or platelets again, this time after three days away. #fightingleukemia #uva #gettingbetter Your contributions to my Go Fund me campaign have been a godsend. I’ve been able to pay thousands of dollars in medical bills. Now I’m trying to stock up my savings for future expenses (like paying for Cobra & future bills).
