* Sunday we did a bunch more cleaning and then dropped off the car at the mechanic. It was good I did, as my belief we were down to the metal on the driver's side proved correct. This cost $450.00, which is quite literally everything except housing and autowithdraws.

There is now nothing at all for gas or any of the other bills. I need at least 150.00 to cover gas and a bill that I had to put off due to the previous car repairs last month. The rest will still need paying, but is less urgent.

* My oldest continuous friend is trying to raise money to buy games for a Cat Rescue fundraiser. This cat rescue is no kill and places most cats in foster homes until they can be adopted. They are good people there and it's a huge number of cats many needing basic or more serious healthcare.

* In person bureaucracy errand turned out to be disorientingly in the same building as and down the hall from the people who did my root canal. There was an extra fifteen minute wait, as the lady who unlocks the doors was out sick and the lady replacing here was from another office and didn't know she was meant to do it. I flagged down someone going in the employee door and asked when they were opening. “It opens at eight. What time is it?” “8:15. It’s still locked.” It was quickly sorted and the rest was way faster than the old process with the only wait being for copying, which I did not have to do myself, so wins all around even if I did have to deal with a much longer hobble and the dangers of stairs.

The place with the good veg and starts that closed last year reopened with much shorter hours and was only two blocks out of the way on my way home, so I went and sat for fifteen minutes while I watched them open up, scoring some nice tomato plants and fresh fruit and veg for cheap. The short hours mean we will go their rarely, but I am glad they are back.

The for profit people that took over payroll for home care givers so disastrously two Januaries ago, are jerking around a big chunk of home caregivers over pay for May and June. Head Millennial has email saying very specifically they aren't, but their website says they are, which will be a hardship for them and me both.

Things will be very rough the next few months if we can't sort it. (We are both trying to sort it, and have been for several weeks, but have made plans for the worst case).

For profit is so much worse than government direct control, but no one ever asks me about these things. Sigh.

* Something I said on Tumblr that I often say in one gform or another:

Once a gift leaves my hand, it is not mine. To do anything else is not to give a gift, but an obligation.

Context doesn’t matter. Gifts are Gifts.

( Embed: )

* It's been an exhausting week. I had a ton of RL, I am bad in the heat, and I am still in the aftermath of the extreme pain incident, though noticeably improved. I haven't gotten around to scheduling the blood work follow up due to various alarms and excursions, but I can intuit some of the results from the fact that when I went to get my prescription strength D, there were two other prescription strength vitamins waiting for me. No wonder I'm exhausted. We gave up taking me off the prescription strength D for half a year... half a decade ago? Longer? My levels drop as soon as I stop taking them. My chronic anemia was fixed by a drug I was on for a while years ago, but my body seems to have finally bounced back to it's natural state. The third one, I'm pretty sure is related to me not being able to chew as my main dietary source involves fresh vegetables, which inability honestly could be causing the anemia or making it worse also. (For someone not anatomically equipped to menstruate, it's a stupid problem to have. IDK, maybe vampires? sigh.)

Actually, the blood tests were not long after we finally got an oven again (Thank all of you who helped), and honestly the no oven and no chewing were a double whammy to my nutrition since last late Winter? Spring? I've lost track. It's certainly made protein hella challenging. I bet the tests captured my absolute nadir, but it really does explain why I'm still feeling pretty crap.

As of this writing, at the turning of Wednesday into Thursday, I am a week away from being able to chew. I missed so many salad's this summer. I have gone to bed hungry because I don't have the spoons to cook something soft and most of my emergency foods I would normally eat are dangerous. I fantasize about cheese and crackers. I fantasize about toast and sandwiches and pizza and caramels and nuts.

I have eaten the first garden tomatoes though. Two undersized volunteer specimens damaged by the fucked up weather patterns over the weekend, and one full sized perfect heritage tomato I nommed today despite the slight danger posed by the skin, all three fresh from the vine and sun warmed. the flavour was so rich...

I am not explaining this past week here, because most of the things aren't mine to talk about, just know that my found family look after their own.

* We have continued to take the forage boxes, even though they are wasteful because a lot of times I'm too ill to go down in person or I have conflicting medical stuff and there's even less at the in person anyway. squirrel and I get separate boxes and we don't share food and have mutually exclusive medical diets. They put in a program a little while back where there are four types of boxes instead of one. Problem was they made us get the same type and I couldn't get the vegan box if Squirrel was to get his meat. (I'm vegetarian, not vegan, but the vegan box is the only one promising safe for me protein. In person hasn't had safe for me protein since the pandemic except for things like dried beans that are too much work).

This month they worked out a way for us to separate our deliveries and Friday we got the first split delivery. It is a lot less wasteful, and the way it's wasteful can't be helped. (EX: Squirrel can't eat eggs and won't eat carrots. I can't eat egg yolks and can only use the small amount of whites in baking. We literally haven't had an oven that could bake since last winter until a couple of weeks ago, and Ii haven't been able to chew since some point last spring. Cutting two dozen eggs to one is helpful, but we're still going to be giving eggs away to other poor people. We still can't use twenty carrots a week. When I could chew one or two carrots a week was maximum usage). There are still a bunch of things we are simply going to have to give away to other poor people or take to the food bank and things no one we know can use. (Squirrel, several of my Millennials, and I all can't digest onions, for example). There is a fundamental problem because there can't be customization at this scale, but at least having four box types is a step forward.

Get this, the vegan box came with Impossible burger meat! There was enough for two. Head Millennial made me one Saturday and it was delicious. we used tomatoes and lettuce from the garden, with ketchup and some of the good Mexican Revolutionary hot sauce. (I forget the name, but it has the round ball top?) Omnomnom.

Saturday, a few of us went out to look at Halloween store displays (aka. free haunted houses), as Spirit opened up at the mall. While we were out I got fresh fruit and an eggplant, head Millennial promises to cook when we are not so tired.

It's not that we've been ignoring my nutrition, but it has been just stupid hard to make good food I can eat until recently. It's still a struggle. I'm so tired of being hungry all the time.

Wednesday can't come soon enough. I noticed when brushing Saturday morning the preliminary's starting to loosen. I'm hoping it will hold together until Wednesday as it already hurts when I brush.

* The sky is still the wrong colour and everything smells scorched and toxic, but round about Thursday or Friday, the wind pattern snapped back into something like normal. We even had a little drizzle Sunday evening. We can't dismantle the heavy air filtration until the inland fires are done, but everything is much more bearable now in our tiny micro-climate.

I am still tired and hungry, but I'm starting to feel a little better. There was a really good sale on Beyond Burger when we stopped in to the Cheapie looking for soft foods, so I got some. It's not that I don't have Bocas in my freezer, but something in this feels like it's filling a nutritional hole. Pea protein? IDK. They are usually far to expensive to buy, but I'm guessing theirs a local glut or something. They are too much work for me to cook in my current state, but Head Millennial can make them well.

* Thank you to everyone who contributed to the recent fundraiser. Friday, I was informed the transwoman is housed and has funds to carry her to safety in the North once her paperwork is sorted.

* Every time they run that add where the father tells his daughter he loves his son best and then the father and son smugly fist bump and the ad pretends this is cute and funny I want to slap an ad executive and whoever okayed it at whatever company's product is is trying to sell. Some kind of chicken? IDK. I don't eat meat, so really all I notice is the decision to normalize cruelty and emotional abuse in an ad that runs multiple times an hour.

What kind of monster thinks this is okay?

* I am disgruntled over the Animal Kingdom finale. I'm fine with what happens to Craig. Andrew's fate, annoying as the Jay outcome is, made complete sense with his series character arc and this season's arc particularly, so it worked for me. I was pretty sure this was where Jay's arc was going from season one on and much as I'd have loved a twist, it makes character and narrative sense, and I never let my hopes get up for something different.

It's Darren that burns me. It seems to me they could have cut like 30 seconds of the endless boring shot of Jay looking around and used that to show a quick shot of Darren in an airport disembarkation area. If it wasn't worth the price of Adrian's actor or he wasn't available, they could have shot over the shoulder of a body double to show Darren's face as he sees who's waiting. They could close shot as they wrap their arms around each other. Simple, neat, and they'd have one fucking arc in there with a happy ending, for the character who's arc all series was realizing he wanted something better for himself and that included love.

Instead, a brilliantly acted devastating scene, but no real resolution. Did he make it to Mexico and on to Thailand or Indonesia? Get shot by cops? Get arrested?

With Black Sails, the Schrodinger's ending made sense thematically and characterize given the double layer of unreliable narration. I don't hate ambiguous endings where they fit with everything else. I hate it here because you have four characters we've been following since episode one, and oops! Only the gay one doesn't get a real ending of his own, just again a beautiful acted reaction to the end of the least interesting of the four character's story, and it feels so fucking cheap and having had at least half the season to anticipate them selling the gay character's arc short doesn't make me any less disgusted by it.

* Am I furious over the "Freddie" episode of What We Do in the Shadows for at least five reasons? Yes. I'm waiting to see where the last episode goes before I decide where I am on the show as a whole.

* So the tooth thing is a whole saga again. I went and got the root canal. After they were like, "We're putting in a temporary filling until you can get a crown." Me: When can I schedule the crown for? Them: We don't do that here and neither does your dentist. You can't chew anything until you get the crown as it's fragile and will crumble and we'll have to do another root canal. Good luck! Bye! Me: WTF!?!

Both my dentist and the Endodontist knew I had neither a previous crown or root canal, but I was supposed to have guessed two months ago that I would need a crown and that I needed to start searching for a new dentist that both did crowns and took Medicare right then, since there are basically no dentists taking new patients in my area and the wait lists are full since everything is scheduled out four months. I don't understand why they didn't tell me this when they told me I needed a root canal? I'd heard of crowns, had zero idea what one is or what it's for. I'm still not clear on what a root canal is. (I asked assorted different dental personal what a root canal is, including both dentists. I asked every time they asked if I had questions. None of the answers made sense and i think I would have done better if they'd used, say a picture of a tooth and pointed at things, but that's not how it works, apparently? Instead they say a few vague and confusing things that convey no information so there was nothing for it.) How was I supposed to guess that I needed to ask questions about crowns under that circumstance? Wouldn't it have been logical for them to say "You need both a root canal and a crown. You will need to find an endodonist and a new dentist, here are two lists of practices that do those things" rather than wait for someone who has said repeatedly they don't know anything about root canals to know what questions to ask?

So I'm basically fucked. I literally an not allowed to chew. I keep hurting myself moving my teeth wrong. There was a speck of grit in my mouth this evening (Wednesday) which may be the start of the temp filling crumbling. I have called all the dentists on the tiny list I wheedled them into giving me of dentists they work with, one of which doesn't exist apparently. The one who answered their phone says I should call back in a couple of months to see if there is room on their wait list then as they are scheduled four months out right now and they don't know any other practices taking new patients.

Everyday I call the answwering machines of dentists fruitlessly, leaving messages with zero hope that anyone will take me even if they do have slots as I know full well most dentists reject medicare out of hand even though it pays cash and is easier to get advance clearance for these things because of reasons unclear to me. My Social worker is on vacation. I hope to enlist her help when she gets back as she's a bulldog and can argue the medicare billing which I don't know how to do, but really, I'm fucked.

I have x-rays. I have excellent records. I literally had a cleaning in the last month. I just want the frigging crown, not all the new patient exam and x-ray stuff. I can't chew until we do this. I don't see how I can go the projected four to six months without crumbling the temp.

All the dentists knew this would be the case. Seriously, why the fuck did not one of them tell me to start looking for a dentist that does crowns two months ago? I don't understand why that deliberately kept this information from me knowing that getting a crown in less than four to six months would require a time machine or a miracle and that I needed a crown ideally within a week of the root canal? Am I missing something here?

* Wednesday we were meant to swim, but there was a COVID exposure in our friend group, and Head Millennial and I decided to just do errands instead. Several hours after I took Head Millennial home, my body through one of the grand tantrums where a bunch of things go wrong at once. I ended up puttering around for a while, but giving up and going to bed without accomplishing much.

Thursday I felt terrible to an extent where I am now playing the sick or recovering from a body tantrum game. The joys of chronic illness. I had wanted to post the Tuesday election results Wednesday noight. I simply was impossible. I'm sorry.

* Friday: I am 90% sure I figured out what's going on with my body and that it's a perfect storm of things that periodically go wrong going on at once, plus tooth rfelated disruptions meaning I keep ending up swalowing things that weren't really chewed and the whole mostly only eating once a day because I'm simply not well enough to make whole meals multiple times a day at this trather high pain level.

Normally, I'd do a real, dinner equivalent meal once I make it out of my room, as that's when my spoons and pain rtesistance are best case for the evening. I have dried fruit and nuts, and if I'm really hungry maybe a granola type bar as a mid-awake cycle snack, and then something easy and fairly light towards the end of the awake cycle for optimum coverage on my AS meds while I sleep. There is literally nothing on the snack list I can have mid wake cycle so it gets skipped. If I skip the smaller, later meal, I don't get the second AS meds dose. Without the mid-cycle snack, I'm often too tired and queasy to make and eat Last Meal. Missing the second dose fucks with my sleep and builds the general overall pain level higher which makes it even less likely I can manage Last Meal.... you see the problem. Yoghurt is crazy expensive. I should probably try to buy some this weekend anyway.

Adding to the whole pain situation I had Spasms, Wednesday after I took head Millenial home, which makes the pain situation worse and I had to take a PRN that interacts with something else to add muscle aches. That effect is mostly worn off, but it likely contributed to the pain snowballing effect. Then there's the sinus headache from allergen exposure outside Wednesday. Headaches make queasiness. The muscular part of my chronic pain (TMj,extreme spasms) also can cause queasiness. My inability to chew food contributes to queasiness.... You see where this is going. Oh, and I was taking the wrong dose of something by accident for over a month which can cause queasiness. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

So I think I'm not sick, just in a perfect storm of chronic illness and tooth nonsense.

There is light at the end of the tunnel on the oven at least. I want to thank everyone who's contributed so far. We are at a point where, say not paying most of our electric bill could solve it, for example, if we are lucky and the price hasn't gone up in a monthish.

* Fundraising Friday and Saturday went swimmingly. As of this writing, I am waiting for money to move into my bank account so I can buy the oven.

I want to thank everyone who helped not only with the oven, but with the whole series of disasters that hit starting last November., I couldn't manage without all of you.

Thank you.

* I had a fascinating poll Saturday. My best guess is it was Republican funded for the August primary by the party rather than a particular candidate. From the questions, they were clearly trying to figure out how much sway Drumpf still has, and what part of him still appeals if any. This being a blue state, where they are running against a Democratic Incumbent, there are four republicans representing a wide range. (We have two non-November elections: the smaller one I voted in months ago, and the August one. They are open Primaries and the too two go on the November ballot. It's all mail in and not a hassle). They had a whole section that seemed to be gauging the popularity of pro-Russian invasion extremist candidates vs. more moderate ones.

It was the most interesting poll I've taken in years and was worth Tavy and I being startled awake for.

* Tuesday was wild an exhausting. I got about two hours sleep. It was worth it though because they did the covered by Medicare stop gap filling replacement. This does not solve the I still need an expensive out of pocket root canal issue, but it buys a little time, and also lets me chew more things. Like a lot of things I still can't eat at all and others I have to chew carefully with only the other side of my mouth, but it means every meal isn't a game of pain roulette in which I am always the loser with a bonus chance of permanent damage that could eventually kill the tooth. Seriously, this is a win.

My social worker is calling around to see if there is a specialist who takes Medicare within the range of travel my car can handle, which just manages to include another town big enough for a decent hospital and similar amenities. I do not like risking taking it so far, as there is always a risk that it will be one trip too many for the elderly beast, but I also need that tooth.

I am not sanguine she will succeed in her mission. Still no word back from the local specialists about cost, sliding scale, and payment plans. It is likely going to be significantly more expensive than the oven if sliding scale isn't an option.

In other Tuesday news, I am healed enough from the surgery to safely bathe. I can not express how happy I am to be truly properly clean. It's another three weeks before I can restart physio or lift things much heavier than the tiny terror, but not having a dangerous infection and being able to do hydrotherapy for the pain is a big quality of life improvement.

Last Friday, the management sent a packet with revised complex rules, some of which were clearly aimed specifically at me. Sigh. The most prominent of these was a total flag ban. If they are willing to ban American Flags for Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, and July 4th, they can pretend they aren't singling me out for my Pride Flags. I hadn't hung them this year because of all the medical stuff. I was barely managing oatmeal making by the beginning of June. I think I will wait 'til next year to play Pride Flag chicken with Management, since I'm still not managing or barely managing a lot of basic things.

I am determined to test their resolve next year though, and I plan to take a flag spotting tour around the complex at the beginning of July this year with Head Millennial to take pictures.

Wednesday, we did the usual Wednesday errands, plus went to the... Okay, it's like a farmer's market, except it's a store without walls and some of it open air run by hippies that sells mostly local produce from small farmers, plus some stuff from small farms further south that don't grow up here and the like. Anyway, they sell a lot of plants and plant starts in their open air section. Also I rechecked the Co-op garden section in hopes of finding the three plants I haven't seen yet this summer that I like.

Because of the new rules, Head Millennial needed to take down some things he put up to make Gothmas season lighting easier to install that are now outlawed. He also needed to plant some starts we bought, and the thing about container gardening is, you move stuff around a lot depending on which things need more or less light and moisture, which things are in producing right now, etc.. I can't lift the planters without risking another trip to the surgeon, so he has to be the one doing it. Since he was moving stuff anyway.... The patio looks great. I did not get as much weeding done as I hoped, but that is clearly another day's problem.

According to my Social Worker 70-80% of the people in my small city who are cleared for an aid don't have one or don't have all their hours covered. I knew there is a serious world wide aid shortage, but wow! I'd probably feel guiltier, but I literally have no idea how I'd have managed the last couple weeks before surgery plus the week after at all without him. I'd likely have been subsisting on crackers, for example. Also, the reason my hours were immediately filled was because I hired out of my friend group. He wouldn't be working as an aid if I hadn't offered him a job, and he very much likes working here. He is thinking about maybe signing up for another client in addition, but I'm not stealing an existing aid from someone who otherwise wouldn't have one.

If you are reasonably able bodied and need a job, I'm willing to bet wherever you live there is a shortage too. Just saying. Some of these jobs are harder than others, but given how tight the labour market is, you can likely set firm conditions about commute distance, hours, and what level of care you are able to give. (Care giving jobs have a really wide range as far as how demanding they are physically.) Just make sure you stand firm on limits and boundaries. Don't get talked into an hour each way bus commute, for example.

Anyway, we are still playing catch up on all the things that didn't get done when I was so ill, because a whole bunch of extra things got added and I was able to do so little for myself, but the progress is visible.

* I apparently need a root canal if I want to save a middle molar I need for chewing on the more functional side of my mouth so that has to go ahead of the oven fundraising wise. I've no idea how much that will cost until the specialists can get back to me. We are still trying to save for a working oven, but it's less important than being able to chew. I don't know how much I actually need there as the price fluctuates. we were $5-600 short when it was on sale. I am disabled and medically fragile. Not having a working oven is messing with my nutrition, but again being able to use that side of my mouth is worse:

* A word about Becoming Elizabeth, because there are things you probably ought to know before you decide to watch it. I'm too angry to watch a second episode, and here's why.

CW for a discussion of pedophilia, history, and why what STARZ decided to do here is incredibly disgusting

I was excited at the idea of a show that started with the reign of Edward VI, because most Elizabeth centric things start with the reign of her half sister Mary, and there is a lot of really interesting stuff in that bit of history that could make a cool show in the right hands. At the same time, I was wary because there are so many ways to really screw up an Elizabeth narrative and I get shirty the way I do about things like the movie Troy, and Braveheart. Like really, I have rants.

I was particularly wary, because a narrative starting here requires the writers to make some difficult decisions as to how they handle Thomas Seymour's behavior to Elizabeth. There are things we are fairly certain of and things we simply can't know for sure.

( Cut for RL Thomas Seymour's Molestation Situation: )

Yeah, so I won't be watching anymore of this pro-pedophile propaganda. I'm disgusted that I got tricked into watching it at all. If the casting had been age accurate it would have been obvious to everyone how gross this is.

* Friday I had a massive sinus headache. There were hardly any spoons to start with, plus it was forage delivery day. I managed to spill a whole glass of lemonade everywhere. while cleaning it up a jabbed a hard pointy corner into my wound. This was one extreme pain too many. I gave up an took a tramadol. No hallucinations, luckily, just normal opioid nastiness.

* The white nectarines we got Wednesday started to ripen and the first two were heavenly.

* Monday I stayed up to get the aggregate out and for phone bureaucracy reasons. I have so many things I need to go before I go into semi-seclusion on May 26th. Assuming I don't get moved up, surgery is June 8th. I can't afford to catch anything, not even a cold, in advance of it of I spend all Summer in this hell awaiting another opening. Yes, head Millennial will still be working, but I am going full infection prevention at that point, so no grocery shopping even masked. No visitors except Head Millennial, who strictly masks in public for my protection in regular life. Windows open and masks when Millennial is here except for quick sips, that sort of thing. Squirrel's work has strict infection prevention protocols, he's triple vaxxed and is strict about masking when he's around Not Us. Given he didn't give me COVID last January, I am not that worried, but still, we will be careful, especially as thing like rhinovirus can linger on surfaces.

When I woke, my body was terrible for a host of reasons, all of them predictable, all made worse by the ongoing health crisis, but none life threatening, just ranging from nuisance to obnoxious. (For example: I lose two options for heading off/dealing with torso spasms, for example because the drugs are dangerous right now. This means for spasms I am left with things like bananas for limb spasms, hot epsom bath for body spasms, etc.. none of these are as fast or sure as meds. Ah well.) I think I counted like 6 things wrong when I woke up. My policy on these occasions is to do what I can to head off big things, which trying to sort out as many small ones as I can peel off. It's... time consuming and really unpleasant.

Still I schlep on. It's what my family has always done.

* We are planning to use most of Squirrel's tax rebate to get a working oven, but the dishwasher is also broken. (The dishwasher is a safety thing because I am medically fragile. Not having a working oven is playing havoc with my nutrition.) My share of the oven plus fixing the dishwasher will likely be in the $600-700 range.

(I am disabled and queer in at least three senses of the word and on a fixed income).

Why not all of his tax refund? he’s in a medical insurance gap and is having an emergent health crisis. He couldn’t have paid for both things anyway.

* Re: the slow catch up. I am still slow from the covid booster, plus it is allergy season, plus the whole ongoing medical crisis, plus my ongoing attempts to properly cover both the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and the Abortion ban news, which are understandably labour intensives. As you can see, I am making progress. I made it well into the history section this time, with the Aidan laptop back log. Why are their things after the 1970's section? Because I pull out time sensitive things lower in the sort and because i scroll a bunch of stuff, particularly comedy and political comedy and about a third of the fluffier stuff every day or two off Klaus. Klaus and Aidan have mostly different jobs, but they do intersect where it comes to the aggregate post and a few other places, in part as a back up so I don't lose 2/3rd done aggregate posts.

Look, I have a lot of both in put and output going on and this is how work flow shook out after the last computer death a little over a year ago. Trust me, I have a system, which mostly works with my brain design and physical challenges.

If the balance seems weird the next week or two and there is a clump of older, lighter stuff, that is my finally gnawing through the back log. Knock wood.

* All I really want to watch lately is queer people having adventures and Korean zombies. Why does no one make something with both?

In related news, yes, I watched Heartstopper. It reminded me a lot of the YA Book Boy Meets Boy, even though there is more stress around coming out and social acceptance in this. It is sweet and fluffy and happy for the middle and high schoolers who get to have something so warm and fluffy to watch.

Also in related news, I thought I was out of of Korean zombies, but I found another one hiding on Tubi. It means commercials (Yuck), but it also means I have Korean historical drama zombies to watch before bed. (I have seen Train to Busan, Peninsula, Seoul Station, Alive, All of Us are Dead, kingdom, and the kingdom prequel. I just started Rampant. Other suggestions? At this point I will happily branch out into other quality Asian zombies.

Similarly, Queer People Having Adventures suggestions? I have seen Black Sails. Trust me, my Byzantine Black Sails exegesis is still out there. I have seen Our flag. I have seen a TON of classic queer cinema. I watched Torchwood. Over and Over. Genres: historical drama, comedy adventure, Science Fiction, fantasy. suggestions?

You know the terribly landlords I've had? I've rented from both of these. Landmark is the one that:

1. Tried to double cash my rent check, then charge me late and return fees because i didn't have enough money in my account to pay a second rent I didn't actually owe them on the grounds that "Once you give us a check there is no law stopping us from cashing it as often as we want. Luckily my bank was willing to fight them tooth and nail and in the end they had to pay my bank fees also. (Seriously I still do not understand how this is legal.)

2. Fought us over every repair then took our deposit because we had not paid an outside contractor to fix things like plumbing.

3. Never changed carpets on any units between tenets. They were nasty, torn, stained, and moldy. We noted this on move in sheets. They charged us to replace the carpets when we left, then didn't change them so they could pull the scam on the next tenets, which i discovered when i went to get a mis-delivered package from the second rental we had from them.

4. Black mold constantly bloomed on the walls, carpeting and ceiling.

5. The stairs were rotting wood and shaky. One day the railing came off in my hand. They reluctantly replaced it with naked, uncured wood. No weather coating or paint or shellac, just pine bits they bought at some hardware store. the same happened when my leg went through a rotted stair board.

6. a neighbor kid fell on some of the rusted rebar they had sticking up randomly in the front yard. A slightly different fall would have pierced something vital. They not only refused to pay medical bills, they refused to remove the rebar. Every time I tottered down the railing-less cement stairs where the kid fell I would look at the foot high rebar spike and wonder if my eye or neck or heart would be next.

7. The floor was spongy in the entry way when we moved in, something we expressed concern about and noted on the move in form. They said it was normal and nothing was wrong with it. The ceiling in the front wall leaked at that same second and last rental. We reported it and the electrical danger it was posing as the stair light out front was wired through it and it was a lot of water. This was because they improperly installed the balcony above, compromising the wall and ceiling. They insisted this was our responsibility to pay to fix even though it was preexisting and clearly nothing to do with us. They refused to fix it and threatened to charge us for it if we didn't fix the balcony in the upstairs unit, wall, leaks, and wiring for them. (I have no idea how this is legal, but here we are. We knew we weren't getting a penny of deposit back anyway.)

Remember the spongy floor? Right under the water rivulets coming through the ceiling. One day squirrel's leg went through. He could have died as it would have been an entire story drop onto the foundation if both legs went through. They refused responsibility for medical bills and tried to get us to pay to fix it, which we refused. The workmen came and were horrified. The reason the floor was spongy was there was no wood under it. I was impressed unsupported linoleum lasted the three or so years before it gave way. They said the entire underside of the building was rotting away similarly.

It took most of the week for them to replace the massive section of floor they had to remove, since they had to put in make shift pillars and such underneath and shore up the rotting floor, using our two man sized hole. we were terrified a cat would jump in there and get trapped. I couldn't get safely over the hole so I was trapped in the black mold riddled house with my failing lung patient lungs. Squirrel had to work, so he kept having to step carefully over it over and over. I am still amazed he survived.

Eventually, they put naked plywood over the hole and we never saw them again. We could lift the plywood plank with our fingers it not being nailed down. It would stake as I walked over it. They tried to charge us thousands of dollars to replace it even though we pointed out none of this was in anyway our fault. Odds are it's still dragging my credit store down.

8. They did replace the balcony eventually and plug the holes, but they never touched the wall with the wiring that was sodden through every time it rained until they did. I never trusted that light switch, so we simply had no porch light. Want to bet it is all black mold inside?

Families are still living there.

All of this is completely legal as there is no authority anywhere that stops it.

* Sunday, I made the mistake of absentmindedly lifting some things after the head Millennial went home. I realized what I was doing fairly early and started icing right away. I likely would have been okay if Tavy hadn't kept insisting he was allowed to sleep with his whole weight on my wound. I kept trying to discourage this and redirect him to less damaging positions. He kept pretending to comply and then creeping back onto the non-load bearing area of my body the moment I'd drift off. I'd catch him mid-creep and redirect him back to safe, bonier areas like my ribs.

Eventually, he "won." He landed with his whole weight on one paw directly to my wound. I woke up just early enough to anticipate the pain, but not prevent it. I yelled because it really fucking hurt, terrifying him, so it was a pyrrhic victory for the Emperor.

I iced it, but it was bad. I just managed to stay out of the ER and I'm a bit better, but still a mess.

* We are planning to use most of squirrel's tax rebate to get a working oven, but the dishwasher is also broken. (The dishwasher is a safety thing because I am medically fragile. Not having a working oven is playing havoc with my nutrition.) My share of the oven plus fixing the dishwasher will likely be in the $600-700 range.

* Saturday, I taught Head Millennial a dish my family called Sauerkraut and Sweet Biscuits, but which is really more Sweet Dumplings in a glutinous sauerkraut stew. Me, warning the Millennial in advance: This is going to be extremely stinky, but delicious and full of Vitamin C. *Millennial sensibly turns the hood up fan up on high* This is something made on the stove top, so theoretically viable, but since the stove top is rapidly failing and heat is quite variable so things like boiling water and making pasta are still okay, but things like grilled cheese are right out, so I am not entirely sure this will work. Still we forge onward.

So explain how to set up the sauerkraut in water on medium heat while he mixes the batter. I give him the recipe. Me: You want to make this, but add an extra cup of sugar. Don't worry, the sour and sweet balance each other beautifully. Head Millennial: This says cold shortening? Me: It lies. It was written down in the '50's or '60's. Almost anything in this recipe set that says lard or shortening means butter or magazine unless there is an annotation that says no really use shortening. Use the same amount of butter. It will be fine. *Millennial gives me a skeptical look, but forges on.*

Millennial: What do I do with this batter? *Goes over there to help* Me: Okay, we turn up the heat now and stir the sauerkraut. Now we pour the batter on top. *Millennial gives me a concerned and skeptical look.* Okay, we let it heat for a bit, then put the lid on and put it on low. Come check it every ten minutes so so. Don't worry. It will be ugly. It is always ugly but very delicious. *I start wandering back to my sitting down project* I have no idea if this is German or Irish, but it is good, filling Winter food. Millennial: No wonder people think you are Polish. *I am amused*

As it turned out the Millennial did a bit of cleaning, but was tired. Me: want me to take you home? *Millenial casts a worried look back at the kitchen.* Me: It'll be fine. I'll cover it and turn it down. We could be gone half an hour and it would likely still be fine. If it burns a little on the bottom, no problem, but it likely won't.

Anyway, I took them home, which takes about fifteen minutes round trip that time of night. I adjusted the heat a little. Did a very careful stir to limit scorching at the bottom without damaging the dumplings to much. Covered it back up. Did a lung treatment. When I dished it out, it was perfect. Seriously. This is the best it's been in like three years. Neither over cooked or undercooked. Dumplings in the right size range and texture. Perfect mix of sweet and sour. Omnomnomnom!

* Thanks to incredibly kind donations, the immediate financial emergencies are at bay I should be able to cover the bill that is about to go critical and I think the housing tax. I will have a better idea how messed up March will be in about a week. I once again want to thank everyone for their support.

* Last Spring the head Millenial bought some hand sanitizer it turned out they didn't want, I'm assuming because of the offensively strong artificial smell. I can just tolerate it and it's otherwise good sanitizer, just really, really intense. I mostly only use sanitizer in the car, so this pump bottle doesn't get used that much. I did use it the other night and it finally hit me why it smells so familiar: It smells like priest. O.o

* Me, exclaiming to Head Millennial just how not heterosexual Word of Honor is: And then the guy who's been following the other one all over the countryside because of his "Beautiful Shoulders Blades" says the most heterosexual line ever spoken by one man to another in a Chinese homoerotic historical fantasy martial arts epic: "A Gentleman is willing to die for his soulmate."

Head Millennial: I don't think you understand what heterosexual means.

* More Thursday: Tavy could not find the Empress. He lokked around, came for his arm cuddle, spent about half an hour searching the apartment, grumpily sharpened his claws on her favorite chair, came for another long arm cuddle, had a snack, scratched sadly at squirrel's door until i opened it, searched squirrel's room, the apartment, and squirrel's room again.

Meanwhile, Livia was napping peacefully in her cat cave mest, back pressed against my foot. I kept her secret. <.< >.>

To be clear, he wasn't concerned, he was bored and wanted to play with, groom, and or hump her. she wanted a nap.

The special temp meds mean that not counting lungs, PRNs, and the second AS medication dose which I've dropped for the duration, I am taking pills six times a day. This is a lot, even for me. One of these sets must be taken with food. Five can't be taken with food, and one set has to be taken at least a half hour before the other no food meds. Plus I had to move stuff so it doesn't conflict.

I literally spend every waking hour carefully tracking things like when I last drank juice or took temp med. It is exhausting and I hate it. It's helping, but I am very glad I don't have to do this forever.

* Friday: So I went to the last physio appointment. She added a couple more low impact things. The examination really chewed me up, but i expected that. Forage boxes came during lungs, luckily with avocadoes, which are what I mostly wanted anyway.

The forage boxes have been a wee bit better since the turning of the year: higher percentage of useable vegetables and occasionally bread. Foraging in person was so much better. we were still only getting half what normal people had, since I'd not collect anything I didn't think we could use, but there were surprise goodies and useful shelf stable foods, and most weeks decent bread. Weirdly, since early January, they've been tossing avocadoes in, despite the recent shortages. I do like an avocado on a sandwich and guacamole is good when it's fresh, but given the givens (such as If I were to burn the spoons making guacamole, I'd not have spoons to make something to put it on), I have been making avocado toast. The Millennials are right: it is delicious. The recipe says salt, but being me I use the herbed salt they put on hoagies and grinders instead. Omnomnom.

Anyway, by the time I put everything away and did hydrotherapy, It was almost noon. There was nothing for it but to sleep in. I made my first mistake with timing the temp pill, but it isn't the end of the world. I absentmindedly took it with first meds which fucks over effectiveness of three in that batch, but it's not like I'm taking heart of psychiatric medications. My blood level will be low on two things that are long term body maintenance for 24 hours, not ideal, but it's one day. The other is a what I think of as quality of life, so I'll be more symptomatic for a underlying condition, but I have two other meds covering that base and if I'm going to lose a day there, this was a good day to lose a third of coverage. The expanded physio routine delayed things further. I kept needing to do things like rest and curl up in pain.

I came out, started first meal, and fed assorted cats, plants, fish. Someone had blerped all over Rupert and the desk. I had to change my shirt in the middle of cleaning it, because I'm bad with fresh blerp and I couldn't be eating or using the computer until the mess was cleaned, and I inevitably lost it in the middle. It's okay. All the meds were safely digested again.

Add in lungs and dinner and I didn't sit down until Midnight. The pain's a stunner and I am so tired. Odds are the meds mistake is making the tired a bit worse. I need to get my shit together by Sunday. I am not sanguine I'll manage it, but I have two avocadoes in the kitchen and there are tomatoes to last 'til the Millenials bring more.

Oh, and the pharmacy called twice. I asked about the missing lung meds again, as I am supposed to do them in tandem with the other temp meds. I pressed until they sorted it. The prescription was lost in the system and they had to track it down. O.o Supposedly it comes Monday according to the second call. Supposedly.

* A friend of mine is doing a fundraiser to help cats in cooperation with my favorite tea company. They write:

"Today the fundraiser started. If you go to designatea.com and use the promo code CRAN, part of the price will go to Cat Rescue and Adoption Network

CRAN is the rescue group I volunteer with. We specialize in special needs kitties, like FIV+ kitties and kitties who have been injured. We also help out with TNR (trap neuter return) efforts, and annually we take in and foster hundreds of kittens who would otherwise face an uncertain future. We do a lot of good, and we rely 100% on donations and personal fundraising efforts.

Design A Tea is a small-scale operation with good people behind it (they were so great helping me set up this fundraiser), and I've tried their tea before. It's good stuff. I like the Chestnut Pecan in particular. You get to design your own blends, and they use ethically sourced teas. Good stuff.

Anyway! I am not going to tell you what to do, but IF you happen to like loose leaf tea and IF you happen to want to try out a new place, try designatea.com and use the promo CRAN. You get tea, kitties get fed, and everyone wins."

* I really appreciate that Betaal is pointing out that Colonialism is an infectious disease that devours and rots from within anyone and anything it touches via Zombie Metaphor.

* It turned out Netflix has Peaky Blinders so I'm finally getting to watch Seasons 3-5. (The library only carries the first two. I got to the scene in season 5 where Mosely introduces himself and offers Thomas Shelby his hand and I involuntarily hissed like a cat and exclaimed, "Don't touch him; he's evil!" I really appreciate several characters actually calling him that, and the general agreement amoung the antihero characters that as bad as most of them are, Mosely was so much worse. I appreciate them showing why Moseley was the worst and so far not trying to humanize him even a little. People should shudder in disgust an horror when they see a NAZI. I wish that were still the case RL in my country.

“The decision by Andrew Wheeler, the administrator of the E.P.A., appears to defy a court order that required the agency to establish a safe drinking-water standard for the chemical by the end of June. The policy, which acknowledges that exposure to high levels of perchlorate can cause I.Q. damage but opts nevertheless not to limit it, could also set a precedent for the regulation of other chemicals, people familiar with the matter said. “

Republicans are arguing that preventing fetal brain damage is not in the Public interest, but causing it definitely is.

"She “arrived at Cibola in septic shock, dehydrated, severely tachycardic, medically starving, febrile, and in the early stages of multiple organ failure,” the suit continues, adding that she “was in no condition to be transported or temporarily detained anywhere.”

“Had Roxsana received the proper health care screening within 12 hours of entering custody as required by ICE policy and prevailing standards of medical care, she, more likely than not, would have had a greater chance of survival,” the document says. The failure to provide her appropriate care amounts to discrimination against Hernandez as a person with HIV, contends the suit."

* The Breonna Taylor murder sure looks premeditated to me. They had no evidence that the EMT had done anything illegal at all so they lied to get a no knock warrant for a search for a suspect they knew wasn't there so they could have the fun of violently breaking into the apartment in the middle of the night to spray it with bullets, murdering her and endangering people including a sleeping child in a neighboring apartment whom they narrowly missed murdering, then lied to the police about what happened in statements that contradicted multiple eye witness reports. Then instead of arresting the police assassins for the multiple felonies they commuted they arrested the victim's partner for standing his ground against people breaking into his apartment to murder them. They also grilled the victims mother in a way that suggested they were trying to pin the clearly premeditated police assassination of her daughter on the innocent partner.

"Strangio, a trans activist and staff attorney at the ACLU who represented Stephens, wrote a piece for NBC News about why “deadnaming is a way to shame trans people for who they are”.

He wrote: “To write about a woman who is trans and remind the reader of her deadname under the pretence that what she was called at birth is important to understanding who she is today actually evokes the image of a man for readers and contributes to the insidious social understanding that ‘this person claimed to be a woman but was really a man’.

* Thursday: The car started again, so that's two days keeping a charge. I came back to deal with a collection of arrivals which required me to finally start the livingroom furniture move I've been dreading. The issue is that I want one of the benches where the fish stand is, bbut to do that I need to move the tank onto a bench (a two person job and it's squirrel's game night so no chance of help at all. i moved small furniture so I could move the squirrel's wall bench which involved moving all the under bench storage so I could move the under window bench into the corner against the front wall which involved space the other bench needed to fit. i put a living room chair and my office chair temporarily against the window which sort of fucks up cat access to the window, though Tavy's found a way.

Some friends had ordered a new office chair they needed for working from home using stimulus check, only when it arrived it was the wrong chair and returning it was a hassle to I'm trying it out tonight in my office. I may end up switching the chairs back because this one, while brand new, more stable, lighter, and hardier isn't as well padded, but we'll see how it does with wheelchair cushions.

Another friend had mailed me three glorious tomato starts, hence the urgancy to get the new chair off the porch, because no way could I reach the bit of the garden these starts needed to go to get the best sun access without me making space in the living room for an extra chair, hence the tetris.

I used all the spoons, bruised a cheekbone, got mauled by an over excited Tavy who launched himself at me in his excitement, and am in extra pain, but it needed doing and now is half way done, even if it's not sustainable without moving the tank.

* Friday: I needed to get a few things done first, so Squirrel and I agreed he'd go get some sleep and we'd move the twenty tank when he got up. Which turned out to be very early Saturday morning. Moving an inhabited tank is a nightmare process, but better than moving the fish into a back up tank. All the equipment needs unplugging and putting somewhere safe. All the fish furniture which is saturated and muddy, need to be put somewhere they won't get contaminated or ruin anything. As much water as possible needs to me removed as possible without removing any fish and with as little loss of life as possible. It's still a shock to them, but less stress than chasing them around and inevitably missing some or stressing them so much they don't make it. My experience is I lose fewer fry and bottom feeders this way. It is also less work, but still a lot of work and exhausted. Inhabited tanks are heavy.

We got it over there and I gave it a good cleaning, refilled it and put it back together. Phase two complete. Tomorrow's plan involves a lot of futzing. I may have to excavate the spare living room lamp from the closet where it went during the Great renovation, which is a project in itself, as I fear this lamp may be Done. We'll see.

* Saturday: I am covered in Spider bits and dust, but I am vindicated in my belief that the furniture all fit in this configuration. (Squirrel kept asking if I was sure I'd measured right and would things really fit. Ha! I am really good at furniture tetris.) Of course it involved moving the chairs and the stuff stored under benches out, recleaning the floors, moving the stand, putting storage into the stand cabinet which I can now access, cleaning the floor again, moving the bench, cleaning the floor yet again, then putting the chairs and things back. I switched lamps, which involved digging it out of the closet, but I was tired of fussing with the glitchy one and this one is taller and thus better suited, if not nearly as pretty. Next I need to do more measuring and switch pictures around again. Phase five involves the nightmare of moving the Big Tank out of the office, which is going to be a major fucking issue.

However, as of tonight, the living room is in a way more functional configuration than we've ever had in this place. It would be better if it was bigger, but really getting the broken fireplace out of the corner is a massive fucking improvement. This configuration means that after there's a vaccine, I won't be doing a used furniture scavenger hunt for a large bookcase as I'd hoped, but when the time comes, I'm going to take measurements and see if I can't find a tall skinny one in the right dimensions or a suitable equivalent. I really do need more shelving, even with selling off a third of the collection last move. I may get rid of a chair. Well see how I feel once I've had time to live with this.

In Livia news, by Friday she'd worked out how to access her windowsill, and y bed time she'd decided to forgo the usual two weeks of observation for any new object before interacting with it, and sat on the new chair. She likes it! She likes the familiar chairs better, of course. Familiar things are always better than new ones, but it is nap worthy and defensible. Both of the Imperials have tried out the window sill bench now that I've put it back and they are pleased with this development despite their real distress at a third evening of furniture moving. Livia's tumm seems better today and she ate all her meat. Elder Kitty was latte for dinner, but I saved it for her. Livia was rather put out that other girl was getting dinner when she wasn't, but she was consoled for the loss of a hoped for Second dinner with a treat treasure hunt on my desk, so we are calling it a win.

Update: Livia spent most of the evening on her safety chair watching fish TV between naps. Someone finally put her fish TV back almost where it was only better!

* Tuesday I spent a ridiculously long time searching for a library DvD that I thought a panicked Livia had knocked off the mounting bench in a panic that scattered a bunch of books and DvDs piled near it. Tavy "helped" by standing on my butt and randomly clawing and biting it. I bruised myself pretty impressively and found four of Livia's toys. (Tavy only plays with them 10% of the time as he prefers wrigglers and the like.)

Eventually I gave up and asked squirrel to come help. Apparently it went back to the library Sunday. I must have absentmindedly carried it out to the library pile. D'oh!

I did the essential errands, including spending half my ebt on things I really did need, though I managed to space detergent, which the cats are using at an alarming rate this late month. Three of the things only come from that store. The rest only came from there or the Co-op and the difference in price wasn't that big. Still it is alarming to be this far in on my allotment with so many other things not bought. Hopefully, I'll make it out to forage and the cheapie grocery tomorrow. My worry is I have an 8:15AM Doctor which threatens the forage, though I can hit the cheapie after if I have spoons, which lowers the states on me making it out in the afternoon somewhat.

...And Tavy outdid himself. He got the sofa good right before bedtime while we were putting my bed. Fine, I thought, cleaned the box exterior, and started yet another load of laundry. I woke up to find he'd had an oops on the sofa. Partially missed the box. I think he tilts it. The surface is soft and he's clumsy because of his disability. Fine, I thought, cleaned the box exterior, and started the third or forth load in a little over a day, transferring the other pee cover to the drier.

A little after midnight I go to prep the area for a snack and step in a puddle. Of Pee. He'd peed right through the last lines of defense, into the cushions and on to the floor. I have no idea where an animal that size stores it all. I spent a couple hours cleaning including starting the cushions and doing yet another load of laundry. A week+ long project, plus now I don't have cushions while I do lungs, just canvass. i didn't even get the snack as I was too queasy to eat by then.

He is so lucky he's cute.

There is also concern that any change to the US-Hong Kong trade relationship could disproportionately affect average Hong Kongers, rather than Beijing or the city's leaders."
