Nearly a month
It should be an update because a lot of time has gone by.
I should talk about
-Some folks stepped up to support me with $$ and brainpower and it's really really helping
-Still haven't told mom, not that there's much more to tell
-MRI happened, no clear results yet but hasn't been interpreted by a neurologist yet
-MRI staff were amazing with my claustrophobia, they rigged up a mirror so I could see out
-Doctor called Friday night at 7:30pm after the MRI to reassure me that no huge issues were visible "so I could have a relaxing weekend and not worry too much" since it was a big procedure
-Brief evacuation alert from a fire, alert means they can tell you to leave immediately at any time
-Big body crash from prepping for alert
-Body crash from moving 1.5 cord of birch firewood actually was bigger than filling out disability form with help from a friend and restarted real difficulty with stairs
-Kinda restarting pottery as energy permits
-Fun tomato breeding which follows on from last years stuff so I don't need to think or do manual crosses too much
-Looks like it'll be a good fruit crop year for saskatoons and maybe raspberries
-Hot (up to 35C!) during some days but remains cool at night, though it is into the double digits
-Rarely smoky
-Jasper burnt down, and the fires are working on Wells and hundred mile and I think Likely or Horsefly
-Sirocco/Siri the rescue cat is starting to get along with the other cats, except Hazard and especially Little Bear
-Siri super growled at the vet (he growls easily, and at much bigger entities than him) so his bloodwork will get done in a couple weeks when he's drugged but I'm worried because he drinks a lot and has a tender abdomen
-$$ help from friends is letting me very slowly start to set up automatic food and water for the animals, starting with the cats
-A fox has been coming in during the heat of the day when the dogs are asleep and eating chickens
-First set of muscovy babies to survive in awhile has, well, survived
-My darker corns (montana morado and the other one) are doing exceptionally well
-Some gaspe survived the crow attack
-Morden may be showing tassels
-Beans never sprouted
-Chickens ate the hearts out of most of my cabbage
-Starting to plant the ritual circle in the old pig winter pen, laid out with Tucker's help
-Mosquitopocalypse and lots of blackflies too, would help if my doors closed properly
-Air filter in the basement has been very useful
-Oh, Josh helped get the defunct fridge out of the basement bedroom and it's way better down there now
-New fridge in the upstairs pantry really helps for charcuterie storage etc
-Mostly can't think but writing occasional poetry
-Not enough physical ability to d everything I want but able to enjoy things like my past self planting berry bushes (it's a good haskap year)
-New symptom feels like the opposite of bring electrocuted in my legs, not sure how else to describe it
Mostly good, sometimes moody, there's a lot to digest. The not-good comes from not feeling safe; when I feel like I can safely live here and have enough to eat and people will love me anyhow then my mood is pretty ok.
