* "Faust to go (Goethe in 9 minutes, English version):"

( 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* This latest crisis is of course happening in that weird liminal space between end of year holidays, so the fact that I got any call backs on my Wednesday round of message leaving as various social service agencies was all by itself impressive.

Thursday morning at 7AM, the phone rang. This is an alarming time for anyone to call anyone, and we are far enough north it's not yet dawn. With Squirrel's slightly longer commute to his new job (He'd have been home by then from his old job, if he hadn't stopped for groceries or gas or the like, but at 7 he's often still commuting these days) and the whole melted snow freezes into dangerous ice overnight thing, I was worried it was Squirrel having had an accident on the way home.

It was not. It was a very nice man filling in for someone on vacation at a long shot agency I called the previous day. The answer was the expected no, but he had two more leads to try.

Poverty is very time consuming. I have been poor most of my life, including all my adult life. Phone tag, the endless time consuming search for hidden little programs that might help one with whatever nightmare poverty has tossed at you this time. I fish and I wait. There is noting else to do sometimes.

It was very sweet of him to call first thing, and really kind to try to help the only way he could.

* The roads are so bad, the security guys coming to fix the fire system cancelled. Really there is nothing to be done until after the new year.

Head Millenial came in on his day off. We've got white fairy lights strung up in the kitchen and an extension cord running to the bathroom with a bedroom lamp attach. The beta now has light and heat. The lighting is dimmer than ideal but we can now see what we're doing at night and the small space heater is attached to the most stable of the household circuits, the one that is also lighting the bathroom. It's not ideal but the safety issue is abated and I have a stomache with protein in it as I typed this.

Addendum: The temperature dropped fast tonight, so it was very good we sorted out the space heater power supply.

* Friday, I'm awakened by some guy yelling about water leaking outside the interior door. So I throw on some clothes and go and answer it. It's an inspector needing to take moisture readings of his wall that connects to the neighbor on his side. So I wake squirrel up.

He hit us first, so I don't know the results of the inspection, but he had information that may be a game changer. He said that the fire suppression sprinkler cracked due to the weather, and was leaking into next door's apartment. I told him about our fire suppression and electrical issues and he said likely next door's water leak zapped us too.

If this is the case, odds are I can leverage that into getting management to pay to fix the electricals, since weather damage in another apartment leaking into ours and doing massive damage sounds a lot like the time I called in water coming out of the ceiling in the bathroom and they had to fix it for me. the Inspector said it sounded as crazy to him as it did to us that they wanted us to pay a massive repair bill caused by weather damage in someone else's apartment.

So Monday, I'll call around and verify if this is the case, and if it is, I have a good case for this being someone else's problem. Which leaves us with the bills I didn't pay so I could fix my brakes and the medical bill. I've got a few donations, including one that means I can cover the one that flips into fines on the 7th. I need to wait for money to shift around and for the electrical situation to get settled one way or another, at which point I an give an update on my level of fucked, but odds just shifted from this is my life now I guess to solvable by Spring.

In other news, the cats and I are still holed up against the cold and snow and spending a lot of time napping in a group. I am adjusting to the dim emergency lighting we've strung up and still have the battery lanterns for close work. What did I do for New Years? Pet assorted cats and read Medieval history between naps. Oh, and had spasms. So many spasms. I spent the last couple of days trying to head them off, and lost.

But we are all fed and warm and that's more than a lot of people have right now.

* The Mummer's Parade got postponed to Sunday, so I stayed up to watch it live streaming. you could see the effects of the pandemic particularly in the Comics, I think, and in some of the string Bands. Most of the parade did pretty well on the whole racism, appropriation problem. There was one thing in each section before the fancy brigades if i remember correctly, plus a really bad one by a DJ in the fancies, but trust me this is progress. It used to be so much worse.

The Fancy Brigades though? Jesus fuck! It was like some sort of racism/cultural appropriation Olympics. There were always problems in the fancies division, but this is by far the worst it's been since the '90's. no wonder the my agish black man doing the cultural sensitivity training for Mummers sounded so damned tired.

The fuck!
Anyway, money has moved around and the immediate personal financial crisis that started with the brakes on the car is under control thanks to donors. The wall I was going to hit on the seventh has been removed. If I can talk property management into fixing the electricity, it will be tight for January and possibly ugly in February, but the immediate oh shit has become a next month problem. I should know in a week or two how fucked we will be next month. I'll let you know then.

* Monday I spent all day doing bureaucracy and errands. A half an hour's argument with management rendered a hard no. Luckily, the City called and is willing to put me on the expedited waiting list. The form required me to spend two hours on hold to get a single number from an agency, but I filed the application for the city to fix the electricals the same day via email.

Going out to get the application packet turned into more of a saga than hoped, as one of my tires was on the rim flat. Luckily squirrel was awake and lent me his car. Also, I was exhausted, barely mobile and in a lot of pain. Still, the essential adulting got done.

Tuesday I spent most of the morning on more phone bureaucracy (tracking down more leads, etc.). apparently if I had 2500 I could get the electricals fixed myself. Might as well wish I had a million. I then drove on the rim to the tire store. It took two hours, which was no surprise. The line is always long there, and it was worse because of the whole people snowed in and new year thing, plus they were having computer issues which was slowing check in considerable. I couldn't not replace the tire and waiting for a better day would not make things any easier.

Apparently, the tire was under warranty, which surprised the hell out of me as I didn't know i had a warranty. I certainly hadn't paid for one. My assumption is is came automatically with the tires. As I bought these tires in February a year before the pandemic, my suspicion is if the tire had punctured say a month and a half from now, it would have expired. As it fell out, I got a free replacement tire, so that's a win.

I turned out one of the bills I didn't pay because brakes had acquired and extra 25 or so of fees; the other was the amount expected. I'll need to pay this month's bills, of course, plus the 70.00 medical bill, plus whatever they are going to charge me for car tabs later in the month, so I'm still some degree of fucked, but this could have been so much worse.

I also bought a grocery sandwich on EBT, because while it's not as bad as yesterday, my body is really not doing well at the basics. I turned in the hard copy of our application on the grounds that trying to read my arthritis handwriting on Squirrel's cell phone picture sounded dicey to me. I actually have faith that the city will help since both of the people involved in that decision are very invested in getting it sorted. It's more a matter of how long until my waiting list spot rises to an open slot and then about a three month process after that. We may even get them to replace the unreliable refrigerator and fix my broken kitchen drawer in the process.

It's going to be unpleasant, but if we can make it to April financially, we'll be okay.

* Wednesday, we didn't forage. Nearby Millennial was trapped at home because the compacted ice made her hill too dangerous. Head Millennial could make it, so we worked on stuff in the living room, while the snow invisibly piled up outside. Luckily, Squirrel took Head Millennial home before he went to work.

He called me from work. They have an outbreak and it's bad. Really, really bad. He's working directly with COVID patients. He is taking all precautions at work and is masking when he has to leave his room for food or work, but our risk just went way up.

In other news, I packed up Halloweentown today as a preliminary to taking down the interior Gothmas display. The cats had an exciting time exploring the cleared space and sitting together to stare out at the snowy landscape and occasional dog walker.

Did I mention the previous Wednesday, Head Millennial brought in a dish of snow for the cats? neither of them have much outdoor experience. (Livia escaped once and was deeply traumatized. Tavy has escaped more often, usually to the bushes in front of our patio to check for hidden Millenials). They've never been out in snow and seeing it fall only happens once or twice a year in the normal course of things, so they are fascinated and a bit alarmed whenever it happens.

The dish of snow blew the Emperor's mind. He finds snow both fascinating and alarming at the best of times. He'd never seen it indoors or been close to it. It really freaked him right out. he'd approach the bowl cautiously, tail lashing, then skitter away sideways. He did eventually sniff it, at which point he recoiled in horror. Livia basically gave it the side eye and would skirt around it.

Imperial opinion is united: It was not a hit. Snow belongs Outside, with noises and strangers.

* This is a really bad one. It's a massive fire and explosion in Beirut with a high casualty count, which as of this writing was rising. There is no proper ambulance service and the private services were already swamped with COVID victims, so people are having to find ways to transport the injured themselves. There is a lot of speculating, so I'll check in later when there is firmer intel. I had to cut off my watching of the coverage for mental health reasons. BBC has a lot of good verified eyewitness stuff if you are looking. I'm posting the CNN feed here, as it has a lot of non-speculative bigger picture stuff.
