Sent My Passport Off For Renewal
Today I got my passport pictures taken at CVS, which cost about $17, less than I was expecting it to be and a quicker process as well. Think it took about 10 minutes all togeter. Completely forgot about the possibility of any USPS building having a passport office, but luckily didn't have to since it would have required an appointment anyways. Saved myself a little bit of trouble that way. Took the bus to the USPS building after the pics, and ended up having to get a money order to pay for the processing of my passport at it's final destination. For some reason I was thinking I'd be able to pay for everything up front at the post office. Come to find out a check or money order is needed so that it can be sent with the materials and processing. Seems like a receipt would have been more convenient, allowing for everything to be paid at the origination so that everything is set and no worries needed. It was a clear day with warm weather today allowing for a comfortable bus ride and walking in between. Allowed for a good scenic view when waiting for the bus home as well.

A Trip To Lusaka In The Making
My mom's cancer treatment has been every two weeks, with a three day treatment process. It's got it's ups and downs, with a new drug that doesn't give her adverse reactions to cold. She's been seeming to react well to the previous treatment, the current treatment is to see what more progress can be made.
Recently found my passport, as I need to renew it. Planning on visiting Lusaka, Zambia. Have a friend I'll be visiting there. She's currently got one child, a daughter who's in school as a 9 year old. As it turns out, even though my passport is expired, there's a 15 year period from the initial issue to be able to mail it in with pictures which simplifies the process, I think. Had it been past the 15 years, I would have to do the whole process again as if for the 1st time. I'll have to wait 6 months after it has become valid again before I can consider the trip to Lusaka. It'll give me time to save and plan for the trip.

Time Begins
The family member pretty much starts a once a month treatment next week for a once a month treatment. This week has a couple procedures that will look at any physical indicators for any other things that currently exist. The treatment for the cancer is a 4 hour process while sitting in a chair once a month. A drug form of chemo has been developed that will be delivered through a port that will be put in this week.
Going to have to at least start doing a little bit of research to have an idea of what's going on. Money's going to be a little tight with everything going on, with the family member quitting their job. Wondering what side gigs would be significant enough without a car to at least increase income while at home. Maybe there's a community that will be able to point out the right direction to go.

A Family Member Has Cancer
Cancer. What's the best way to call it evil? A family member has been diagnosed and all of a sudden you feel useless. Doctors are the best option, being watched from the sidelines. Incapable of doing anything except to just be there for them whenever they may need you. Right now it's just been caught at stage 4, treatment to come and planned. What's next? Plenty of success stories to believe in against this invisible enemy, especially during a pandemic. Hope is the option where nothing else exists. Coping with the struggle, one foot at a time, one in front of the other, one day at a time. Of all the progress made and the most evasive is this?

#45's Tweet About Hillary Not Apologizing
"On 26 September 2016, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump squared off at Hofstra University for the first head-to-head presidential debate of the campaign. One of the talking points that emerged from the debate was the preparedness of each candidate, exemplified by this line from Clinton in response to a remark by Trump about her recent absence from the campaign trail:
“I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And yes I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that’s a good thing.”
While legitimate news outlets such as Washington Post penned articles explaining how Clinton meticulously prepared for the debate, the non-legitimate Baltimore Gazette published a fake news article offering a different explanation — Clinton had received her debate questions a week in advance:
Hillary Clinton received her questions for the first presidential debate of 2016 a week in advance. - False [Snopes]The first presidential debate was held and Hillary Clinton was proclaimed the winner by the media. Indeed Clinton was able to turn in a strong debate performance, but did she do so fairly? Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate. "

#45 Twitter About Celebrity Apprentice
Arnold Schwarzenegger Ditches NBC’s ‘Apprentice,’ Blames Donald Trump
“I don’t want to do it again,” Trump’s Apprentice successor told Empire. “It’s not about the show, because everyone I ran into came up to me and said ‘I love the show… but I turned it off because as soon as I read Trump’s name I’m outta there!’ … When people found out that Trump was still involved as executive producer and was still receiving money from the show, then half the people [started] boycotting it.”

Wondering how many times Intel is going to do this.
Is it going to happen at all?
