Fall and the RBG Moon
Tuesday gratefuls: Cat scan today. A quiet day yesterday. Safeway grocery pickup. Salmon and Asparagus. A butter and brown sugar plus soy sauce topping. Yahrzeit candles for mom. Covid. Trump. Alt-Right. Climate change. Black Lives Matter. A shaken nation, forced to reconsider its purpose and future.
In the year of the rat Magawa lifts up rats and smashes our prejudices. A feel good story for a difficult time.
Had a quiet day yesterday. The only trip was to Safeway to get a pickup order. Read some more in Rage, almost done. Painted again for the first time in three or four months. Not my best nor my worst. Needed to pick up the brush again.
A while back I ordered an internet course on growing Sacred Mushrooms. The course emphasizes Mushroom culture. It seemed odd to the folks at Visa security. They put a hold on my credit card and gave me a call. Yes, I ordered that. Oh, ok, sir. Thank you.
Got started on it yesterday. Growing Mushrooms is something we can do without a greenhouse. We both like them, so I’ll give it a go. I’ve always been fascinated with decomposition, how necessary it is and how elegant the living things that make it happen. Took a UofM course on Lichens years ago.
Kate’s had a bad couple of weeks. Mostly in bed, though she does get up each day. The shortness of breath has made moving a challenge. We look forward to the cat scan today and the thoracentesis tomorrow, hoping together they will provide relief and better knowledge.
Got some feedback about Sunday that helped a lot. Thanks, Ancient Ones. My men.
Hard to know what’s affecting me these days. Stress from Kate’s struggles. Eye drops and adjustments in vision from the cataract surgery. Lingering Lupron. Two years of thc at night. Need for a vacation with no possibility of one. I do feel slower, tired. My mindset is strong though.
I’m healthy in my own way. Good heart rate, blood pressure. COPD controlled. Exercise, now aerobics only for a month, continuing. A PSA next month. Not depressed. A bit dysthymic at times. Referented, I believe.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow…
