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.

The guru stuff bounces off me, Hops.  My introversion works as an auto-reject shield, maybe?

Meh, I like to re read books, using different highlighters each time.  It's interesting to see what jumped out each time.

I'm guessing your grandmother's sister was aware of family dynamics in your life.  Sharing the book with you seems like a warmly extended hand of healing secrets..... I'm a huge fan of sharing information like that.

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

Is B relaxing into good possibilities?

Oh....when the mom started hanging up on her Aunt.....bc she didn't appreciate feedback....I was instantly cleared of anxiety.

Can't save people from themselves..... certainly the Court's not there to save any children.

Oh....I have quick turnaround karma, Hops.... shouldn't have had that giggle.  Nope, nope, nope.

 Chlorine gas exposure, at second Airbnb, handled that, toot sweet.

Toot?
Sweet?

Is that the saying?

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've read four agreements long while back. My grandmother's sister who I never met sent me that book. It's the only thing she ever sent me so it stands out in my memory.

AND

When I had my car I did a lot less planning for picnics and it was sublime peaceful solitude and commute almost nothing.

It's way more effort now.

So since it happens that I now have an abundance of picnic type stuff... I made pasta salad again today and cut up pickles and stuck them in a bag.. And cut up veggies... and saw I have a can of tuna in the closet... and fruit getting ripe. So I am doing it all over again to meet a different friend tomorrow. Nobody does this anymore. You would think I was prepping for a family reunion. But my friend just told me it's her birthday and she worked on her birthday so this will be sort of nice I hope. The weather is promising to be gray like Twilight movie of course. Gloomy. Shrug. There's always coffee. And then coffee = toilet stops. Sigh.

long time ago I did international travel and the amount of prep that goes into that feels almost on par with me packing a picnic. Oh well.

no art, no garden, so now just picnic packing as a hands on make something outlet I suppose

at least we are doing something that is the goal

the intense panic to have a summer in the pacific northwest

- I did meet my friend to go to a street market -- a museum -- a couple well known city parks I've never been to and some other stuff and then directed her to a honky tonk bar for live music. She seems to think I hang out in bars all the time. I'm like NO ... I am finding us affordable music because going to a real concert is something you would never agree to bwahahaha and I don't have the money now anyways.

We were both exhausted by the end of the day. We ate the picnic on the tailgate in a very pretty part of the city because parking. We found parking and that is better than finding a picnic table I suppose.
