5300 works on AO3.

Can anyone imagine how high it would be if I hadn't grouped ficlets and drabbles back when I archived all my old fic?

57. Name one song that means a lot to you. What does it remind you of? What does it mean to you? Why is it important to you?

The song is called Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. It's a wonderful song about when you die and where you go. Both hubby and I chose this for our goodbye music. I didn't want anything depressing. Everyone will smile when they hear it.

Have you ever felt culture shock in your own country?

Yes during Trump years and now it's here again. I don't even know what to say about them. Trumpets, I mean.

People keep saying they hate it when trump falls asleep during meeting. I on the other am always disappointed that he wakes up. (saw this on a meme and had to use it)

Do you think aliens really exist?

I do believe they exist and are no doubt laughing at the United States. They wouldn't want anything to do with us.

7. Do you take your phone everywhere, or sometimes leave it at home and not worry about it?

I don't leave it at home, but I don't take it from room to room, with me, either. I figured someone can always leave a message.

8. Henry Dunant was born today in 1828 – he was the co-founder of the Red Cross. Have you ever learned first aid? Could you resuscitate someone?

I took a course in first aid about ten times for my work. I've never used it. But I know it if duty calls. We also donate to the red cross.

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: All is revealed.

I mean we all had our suspicions but StarFox Direct from nowhere blew everything out of the water holy shit! I do have the money set aside for a Switch2 so I guess I'll be doing that sooner than later.

~~and maybe I'll get Elore's Bogus Journey while I'm at it?~~

Since I had the procedure on Friday, I have been coughing up a lung. I can't sleep lying down at all. I cough until I throw up. I sent a note off to the doctor and told him what's going on. He said if I'm not better by tomorrow, he’ll call in antibiotics for me. They took an X-ray after procedure and found pneumonia in my left lung. Now I know why I'm coughing. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. I was fairly sick today with low grade fever and chills. I bet it'll be gone this afternoon. I hope! This is the latest with my lungs.
