* Thursday a week ago dentist and hygienist were very astonished by my relaxed state during dentistry. I hadn't had time to warn them that sometimes I fall asleep before the dental dam went in ending my ability to explain. Luckily they didn't get scared as had happened before. I wasn't asleep, just meditating as is my usual practice when I'm not exhausted. Apparently even very chill patients don't normally relax at this level. I have no dental trauma or phobias. It's not that I enjoy dentistry, it's just I have no more emotion about it than I do around oil change. It's just maintenance.

No cleaner Friday, which is fine. So many people clocked out slightly late, they snatched 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there, so I am left with six visits at most to cover November and December instead of the surplus Math last summer suggested I should have. I am a bit grumpy as I generally let them off three to six minutes early.

Saturday, Goth Millennial exhausted the Tiny Terror with one of their Gothmas presents. Livia had her third oops in two weeks. I am pretty sure it's stress.

Sunday: Millennial pumpkin carving!

Monday I did a bunch of prep for the big day.

* Gothmas Phase 2 exterior decorations:

* I lost the first version of this in the crash. The Management chased all the families with kids out and most of the grad students, replacing them mostly with retirees. I hardly even got adults raiding my table this year, and one of them stole a bowl. Sigh. This is why I use cheap Dollar Store bowls. The Millennials got big candy gift bags this year.

I love the pumpkins the Millennials carved so much. I'm going to be so sad when I take them down in a day or two.

A cheerful Gen Z person turned up to Clean Saturday, and we got most of the outside display down. I really liked them. Goth millennial got the things too high to reach Saturday. We are mostly focused on the Tuesday inspection right now.

* Squirrel has lost his job and needs about $800.00 for bills and food for a month. They have lost their health insurance which provides essential medication. They are an old RL friend and my roommate. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Squirrelmh

* My car broke yet again in late October. As I feared it was the hose that keeps the engine cool. Why feared? It's in the middle of all the gear under the hood. Hose and fluid replacements are cheap. an hour and a half of labor to take it all apart then put it back in is incredibly expensive. $280 worth in total. I have paid Squirrel back for the gas for the week and a halfish, I was borrowing his car, thanks to a donor. The repairs ate most of my bill money for the month. Yes, this is the forth repair this year. My car is about 25ish years old. I can't afford to replace it, nor can I do without it, being disabled: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Gwydion

* Squirrel has lost his job and needs about $800.00 for bills, meds and food for a month. They have lost their health insurance which provides essential medication. We can float bills a bit if we must, but it's extremely dangerous if they skip any of their meds. They have already had a ton of interviews, and it is likely they will be offered a very good job if they can hold out until December when it starts.

* I am still struggling with the Asshole agency. I was awakened Sunday morning by a cleaner checking in on her way to my place. Fuckssake! I do not understand why it's so hard to grasp only send cleaners every Friday morning unless I say other wise. They tried to send a morning and afternoon cleaner last Tuesday. Every day i have the same conversation about me only wanting weekly care Friday mornings. Every day they cancel the next day's cleaner, but not the day after. I only get so many hours a year and we are saving the extras for Autumn when millennials are busy with Gothmas season and the like.

I did not cancel the morning cleaner Sunday, because she'd already been booked and if I cancel that's money she loses. It was hours of sleep I needed, but oh well. Asshole agency. I did have about two hours of work for her, but I've no idea what happens if the telephone operator lady didn't sort it and a surprise cleaner comes Monday, as the stuff that's left is either complicated or not in the cleaner's remit. She said she'd switched me from daily back to weekly. *Fingers crossed*

This cleaner was very quiet. Tavy liked her. She was so quiet, Livia thought she'd gone and wandered into my bathroom to use her personal litter box and there she was: cleaning! Livia: The horror! The horror! Quiet was good. it meant I could do some tumblr programming with only occasional interruption for directions.

Winds from the tropical storm in Mexico and California are sending air currents along the coast that bring us smoke from the fires between us and there. Air quality was bad all weekend as a result. Instead of swimming we gathered in my place and goth Millennial made their excellent lasagna.

* I would like to thank my donor for the gift of excellent litter. Things are so much less dramatic here as a result.

The Asshole Agency has not surprised me with a cleaner I did not ask for two days in a row. Yay!

* I had my shoulder situation investigated again Tuesday. It was painful, of course, and my shoulders are still recovering. The new doctor had not grasped how extreme the situation is. We will be doing another round of specialists as a result. I have just started a new med. I am not sanguine it will be to the point and I worry it will fuck me up, but having eliminated the best option, we are down to two less ideal classes. I thought the other option too high risk for extreme side effects, so here we are.

* I explain my process and give some likely inadequate advice on tumblr to someone who asks "How do you keep up with all these articles and websites?:" https://www.tumblr.com/gwydionmisha/726275476259241984/how-do-you-keep-up-with-all-these-articles-and?source=share

* It feels like the headlines are being written by a fuzzy logic AI trained on Onion Articles.

* Wednesday: Monday they mowed the lawn, kicking up lots of allergens, plus it's humid and no rain for a few days, plus I was outside in the allergens for a few hours. A cloth mask isn't that much help under the circumstances and I need to save the last heavy mask for emergencies. I only managed a few hours of sleep Monday anyway between AS stuff and allergens, and mowing related sinus headache. It got worse over the course of the evening to the point of things being really impossible. Like massive pain, serious lung congestion, and my throat completely fucked because lawn grass is the worst of my allergies.

I did a lung treatment, drained my sinuses, washed off the allergens, and went to bed. it's not COVID. I can tell because ten hours under filtration nearly cured my throat and cut the congestion in half. I am using maximum medication. I am washing bedding over and over. I am using all the tricks both for allergies and AS. I'm still periodically in too much pain to read, which makes be so queasy it's hard to keep the meds down.

I have to lie down a lot, often on very short notice. I could cope with either AS pain or the headache but both got to be too much, so I've given up and broken out the emergency meds. Even with that, I still had day three of pain insomnia, though the quality when I did manage to get to sleep a couple times was higher.

I have the shakes, am pasted together with more meds than I like, and I make no promises of quality. I also have a massive backlog of links ready to post. I'll see how much can get up before I have to lie down again.

* Tuesday night I had a scare when i went to take my bath. The washer Dryer area looked like a crime scene on a cat scale. Small, fresh pools of blood. Spatter. Tiny bloody paw prints. I was terrified Elder Kitty was dead or dying. I roused Squirrel from his game, by which point the pounding and yelling required to get his attention over his head phones had summoned the Elder Kitty from wherever she was.

I had heard no arguments, so I knew it hadn't been a fight. Livia and Tavy were both napping, but also woke up in the commotion. It couldn't have been Livia anyway, because the paw prints. Squirrel examined her for injuries. She'd ripped out a claw. It was an alarming amount of blood, but nothing else was wrong with her beyond the expected. She was walking about as well as she was earlier in the evening.

I'd been doing laundry, and she's recently developed an interest in the dryer, which was running at the time. Current theory is she crit failed a dex roll making a jump she couldn't handle with the stroke clumsy, panicked, and ripped the nail in the process.

By the time Squirrel examined her, it'd already stopped bleeding, and she's getting around okay on it.

It was scary as fuck, and the clean up was horrible.

* Wednesday 2:51PM: Good Girl Livia just rescued Elder Kitty.

I heard thumps at the patio door, like there used to be when Elder Kitty was angry at a stranger cat being on the patio, so I look up. No visible stranger cat and Livia is very excited about something, so I assumed it was a hummingbird. Only every time I look down she starts squeaking emphatically. Finally I look up in time to spot Elder kitty on the wrong side of the glass. she must have escaped while I was watering plants. she went and hid when I came to the door, but I coaxed her in with the promise of shreds. (I talk to them a specific way at meal times so they know to gather when I make sounds like that. I told them what good girls they were and now is shred time.

* Thursday: My head still feels like it's a rotten pumpkin someone keeps trying to carve. The AS is also kicking my ass so I'm stiff, clumsy, and in pain. The amount of medication I need to not be in unbearable agony makes me foggy. I still need to lie down a lot.

There has been a lot of cat excitement today. Livia was on her forth pettin for the day when she got all excited, ran to the foot of the bed. and tail waving excitedly she started actually meowing in that weird high pitched voice she has instead of just squeaking. I went to look. It was Elder Kitty! In my room! Of her own volition! I kept happening as I finished Spindrift and got it together as I was getting ready to leave the bed.

She clearly wanted up, but didn't quite dare. It's Tavy turf and he can get really nasty about it when he's in a jealous mood. The bed is also really high. She knew Livia and I were up there, as we had peered over the edge, but she didn't know where he was. I know she can get down, and there's a mounting stool, so I lifted her up when I left, which seemed to please her even if she dislikes being picked up. Livia was very excited, but gave her space. I went off to do the necessary chores and start the potato I was hoping I could keep down. Each time I passed, the girls were peaceably hanging out on opposite sides of the bed.

She must have heard me going out to water the plants, as when I returned with the watering can, she was at the door all hopeful. I moved her to the sill and quick tried to put the can outside, but she darted between my legs and was gone before I could bend to grab her. See AS kicking my ass above.

There was nothing for it to get Squirrel, who was up for some reason. He did find her eventually and bring her back in. I felt terrible until he admitted she'd done the same to him when he got home from work. normally she's scared of outside and scared of Tavy attacking her on my bed. She likely tore out that claw trying to make an impossible for her jump in my bathroom and last night she tried to steal my buttered noodles. I'm thinking maybe it's the dementia advancing or stroke after effects giving her the wanders and/or making her fearless.

After lungs, I spotted her napping on my bed on the opposite side from where Livia was napping. I snuck out to take the Lily pictures, as she escaped again on my way back in and trying to get around in the bushes with a crutch and AS this bad was a nightmare, but I got her back in the end, but not without getting a bunch of micro splinters in my foot.

* Anyway, the first triffid lily of the season: https://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/post/623843173744164864/the-first-triffid-lily-of-the-season

* Elder Kitty sitting on top of a Fish Light. This is normally forbidden, but she’s very light, and also a week and a half post-stroke, so she gets to sit where she wants.: https://gwydionmisha.tumblr.com/post/623860235955847168/elder-kitty-sitting-on-top-of-a-fish-light-this

* Friday: I am improving, but still needing a lot of rest and medication. It helps that there is a cooler breeze off the bay so i could tolerate a slightly longer bath, though not long enough. My plan was to get lots of sleep. Ha! No! I got up to go to the bathroom and found an extra girl in my bed. I stroked her back so she'd know that she was in fact welcome. When I returned, she'd co-opted my head pillow. I don't blame her, that thing is ridiculously comfortable. She had kindly left enough room for my head, so i settled in next to her and gave her a long pet.

At which point the Emperor turned up wanting HIS Pet, as i had all the filter on, but not the fan. He climbed onto my hip and spotted That Other Cat brazenly sleeping in the Imperial Bed, Imperial territory and the most important territory in the apartment, especially when I'm on it. He perched on my hip glaring at her, but we think the stroke damaged the part of her brain that does things like fear, so she just stared back at him. He sensibly intuited that I was kicking everyone out if they started a fight on top of me, so he was grumpily accepting a pet when Livia turned up with the clear intention of claiming her pettin. Hear head swiveled between them in alarm. I offered her a scritch, but she decided the atmosphere was way too heavy for her to want to drape herself across my torso between them, so she settled down on the other side of her favorite body pillow.

Then the phone rang. Tavy lept off, because he knows that sound means I'm about to move to grab it. Elder Kitty: ha! I win! It was the police charity scammers. I had to block a scammer a few days ago, which means ublocking a number. It looks like I'm bout to get the police/fire charity scammers out of Seattle cascade for the next week or two as I block/unblock numbers. They are relentless and call up to three times a day if they aren't blocked. Sigh.

I settle back down, lure Tavy back on, and he decides, Fuck it, he wants the full curl up on my tummy for a long cuddle pet even if That Other Cat is pressed up against my head. I'd just started petting him, when the phone rang. Moherfucker! Everyone left. It was an autodialer. And i can't block the ring and run autodialers, because sometimes it's Medicare or Medicare advantage. I drink some water and roll offer, headache blooming.

I start to drift off anyway; the phone rings. Of curse it did. Medicare advantage calling to inform me I hadn't used any of my behavioral heath coverage. Which of course I can't even if I needed it because trauma. I'm really the fuck good at dealing which my own shit and have spent a lifetime quietly dismantling triggers and healing myself, and am honestly one of the most stable people I know. I'm highly adaptive and good at things like coping with lockdown etc.. I am extremely disciplined about working through trauma. I have to be: see long history of incredibly abusive child psychology.

What I actually say is: "I'm fine. Yes, I know the benefit exists, but I don't need it." Which is true. Would I rather we didn't have a monster in charge of our government who is deliberately trying to infect and kill as many people as possible? Yes, but I am dealing with my responses to that as I need to. At which point she tries to hard sell me, and I get it. There is a global mental health crisis and this plan is for disabled and/or elderly people in extreme poverty, a group that is particularly vulnerable and isolated right now. I know she meant well and bullying boomers into behavioral health could save lives. Except I'm an Xer and not isolated and I have a particular set of psychological tools that work pretty damned well in this emergency. Me: "I'm fine and I'd rather save those slots for people who need help. There's a global mental health crisis on a limited resources." She reiterated that the benefit is there if I need it.

I am now far to awake to sleep. This is just way to much disruption. I reach for my book. The phone rings. %#$&! It's the lung people wanting to arrange a shipment of ampules. Which is a long conversation in itself. This is why I can't turn off the phone when I sleep. Medicare, Medicare advantage, doctors, dentists, the lung people, and my regular pharmacy like to call when I'm sleeping and it's way better to just answer the thing and deal with whatever it is they want than play daytime phone tag with them.

So sleep was done, despite me rather needing another 2-3 hours of it. Oh well. I finished the nice queer fantasy/sf anthology I'd been reading (Tangle) and petted cats all day. Elder kitty returned to what is now her pillow. The Imperial couple periodically cadged pets. At one point Elder Kitty was wrapped around my head the way hector used to like, Tavy was crashed out on my hip, and Baby Girl was stretched on her favorite body pillow next to me while they all had a good nap. Livia's idea of a really good day involves loves from her personal human, hanging out peaceably with the clowder, and bird and/or fish TV. This may be Livia's best day ever.

At one point I heard squirrel moving around, and I had a suspicion he was worried about his cat. Given her age and state of health.... Yeah. And she usuall spends some of her day sleeping with him in his bed. He saw my light and called my name. I didn't wait for the question. "I have her in hear. She's fine." I was under the sheet and he peeked in and checked, relief in his voice. I explained she'd been there all day. We talked a bit about her and he went off relieved.

When I came out, Tavy had pissed on the sofa and the floor in front of it, the puddle soaking two other layers. I don't blame him, really. He had to take out his feelings somehow and starting a fight in bed just wasn't on.
