Yeah, the tension let go. I read trash epic fantasy novels to lull myself to sleep. Sleep helps. That and back to back rainy days! Old movies on YT. Permission to just relax and cocoon and keep B company. He's working on rebuilding the front door latch (again). Internal pieces jiggle out of alignment and stops the handle & lock from working correctly. Good thing we live where we do - I just put a chair in front of the door when we go out. It's not a strenuous job to do this - but it IS important - and he needs to keep his mind occupied. He can sit if he needs to.

Yesterday, I actually had the motivation to get up and get some more things done... so 3 days to settle down, rest and recover. Not bad.

I'm happy to read surgery went well, Amber. 

Is B relaxing into good possibilities?

He is. He even admitted that things have been going a LOT better with our docs here - than what he was used to down south. Maybe it's coz there is now a shield maiden advocate... things actually do function differently/better... and maybe it's just a combination of things. Maybe he's putting things into perspective better? I do know the intrusive and annoying tech stuff surrounding healthcare these days he's just letting me deal with. He's looking for physical body fixes - not to have a deep and fulfilling personal relationship with these people.

Guys came out to look at roof today. And of course, it started pouring rain. LOL. They'll be back. I know these guys; they're good. But they'll have to inspect the ridge cap and since it's way off the ground - ain't doing it in the rain. Roofers need a secret weapon; a spiderman - you know?

Hol is going through something emotionally destabilizing. I'm not sure it's JUST her on/off BF C. Maybe it's just the isolation out here and the challenges of landscape, weather, etc. getting to her. But she's not handling socializing real well either - which is not like her. There is a thread of man-hating, Femcel BS running in her head... and because she always resorts to being the biggest, loudest more dominating in the room... is hard for me to get a word in edgewise. She watches way too many psychobabble instagrams & tiktoks and isn't using her excellent brain on what is being promoted. And of course, the algorithm just sends her more of it after she watches one. So I check in with her a lot every day. Maybe she just needs a new model of what women's lives are like... I'm grasping at straws.

Good thing about this tropical rainforest weather is that it's keeping B related to indoor tasks. But he is itching to do more physical stuff soon. I've got some ideas on what we can do, that will further improve our organization and open up our living space a bit more.
