Christina Update #1: Pain
Like me, Christina gets cold very easily. Her family home is in New Hampshire. She has been staying there with her parents since her neck surgery in January. Although technically it is still summer, already she bundles up in the daytime and routinely sleeps with heating pads and hot water bottles.

Doubtful that freestyle dance or solstice ceremony would qualify as “covered service.” There will be an update in two days, on June 4. Maybe inviting folks here for June 20 ceremony will sound more feasible under the new guidelines.
