Earlier in the year I drove 9600 miles to do Milky Way photography.
Between that, work, my health, and the terrors, I'm exhausted.
I promised myself no more trips over 100 miles from home for the year, unless critical for the union.
I broke that promise Saturday.
Worth it.
Final version. 🪶

Yet Iceland, despite being a smaller country can do this: "They have more patients and about half the staff of the NGS, yet in two years they eliminated their 700 person waiting list. They usually only need 30-45 minutes of assessment, and in their intensive weeks they’d start 30 people on HRT"
Your referral will be old enough to drink by the time the NGS sees you.
