* Saturday a week ago I was well enough to start running my table top game again. Livia came out to watch her stories, as the Gazebo birds are back and she hates missing the late afternoon/early evening bit as they all flutter about in easy view before bird bed time. She pretended Head Millennial was not there, Brave Girl. Sunday we did errands, then after ate dinner and watched the back half of season one of resident Alien. Tavy has been unsure how to handle two of his people sitting on the sofa at the same time, but this time decided to take the plunge. He sat in a bunch of places including Head Millennial’s lap, and at one point rubbed his face on their hair.

Not long before bed, I had another incident, but caught it in the early stages and applied ice. Acutely painful, but not dangerous enough for the ER since i caught it early enough, so that’s a win. It did mean I needed lots of rest though. I am not even sure how it happened this time, since there was no obvious precipitating injury, which is worrying.

* So some friends of mine are moving and needed me to drive them around a bit and another friend drove up to help, only they didn’t need me the way they thought. The other friend did the afternoon driving, but I couldn’t get back to sleep. I did come along and bring cardboard boxes and food for the new place. We ate outside on their new place’s patio and had a little visit, but there was a lot of standing and cardboard wrangling and the pollen count is high and I had very little sleep. I went to bed early Friday instead of posting the aggregate as i had intended.

The extra spoons I burned Friday meant I had very little energy plus an allergy headache. After I took the head Millennial home I drove up there to help with transport. I didn’t get home until 11:15. I am a mess. I have spent nearly all the EBT, which is bad. I blew more tonight on things like yogurt. I know, I know, the aggregate’s super late. I still have what feels like a million links still needing to scaffold.

I am tired. I itch from all the trees mating. I do not know how I will manage until June without the surgery as it is incredibly hard to sleep like this.

Oh, in the middle of the medical crisis we got notice of fire inspection, which means I had to fix it myself. I did work out that a particular adapter might make the unit Squirrel bought work. I had too buy a bundle, since they aren’t sold individually online, and I hadn’t energy to search every hardware store in town even if it wouldn’t cost more in gas than the adapters cost. My theory that the adapter would work proved true, but the detector squirrel bought didn’t fit the bracket, so squirrel had to duct tape it up there. (They no longer make the model that came with the apartment. squirrel bought a different brand, apparently). Anyway, it works even if it is ugly.

Things like this and the the extra food I bought during the worst of the crisis and endless small things needing fixed or repaired ate away the money I’d tried to save for a working stove. *head desk* I am so fucking tired of my body and the apartment falling apart, but here we are.

* I lost some of this post. Grr.

* I love the way narcissus smell like spring and hyacinths smell like concentrated purple.

* The Iowa Caucuses are February 3 2020. IE: Monday. I beg of any iowan readers I have that they please, please go and vote their passion. "Electable" is meaningless. Hillary Clinton was considered electable and Barak Obama wasn't, yet he was a pretty damned successful two term president. Pick the candidate you like best in the first round. If your candidate is below threshold, pick your second best, etc.. The most electable candidate is the one actual voters are really excited about, not the person some theoretical voter is imagined to prefer.

All of you out there in every state, this is your chance to make this election one that can change the world. Do NOT sleep on these primaries and caucuses.

* I fundamentally object to the DNC deciding they could not slightly change rules to keep candidates of color who were close to making the cut on the debate stage, but they will happily change the rules entirely to let Bloomberg buy his way on. A diversity of voices would have benefited the party. I'm not convinced changing the rules to benefit billionaires does.

* Saturday a friend sent me magic soup. It takes me a while to eat, so I had some yesterday, some today, and the final dose tomorrow. I am noticeably improved today, though still not the thing. The Imperial couple spent most of the day sitting on me separately and together while I read a particularly pleasing m/m regency romance. The EBT having arrived, I dragged myself out into an unnervingly springlike afternoon to get perishables. The Grocery Oulet has good bargains, but they are a bit of a crap shoot. I did score essential basics, but they didn't have the specific thing they often carry that I particularly wanted, nor did they have any of the three super specific yogurt brand/types I am willing to eat, let alone in the handful of acceptable flavours, one did they have the juice type I've been craving constantly all month in a way that suggest vitamin deficiency, so I was forced to limp around a second grocery store that is more expensive, but which always has at least one of the acceptable yogurt types in at least two of the correct flavours and where I know I could get the right juice. Alas, when I opened it, it tasted lightly fermented.

Livia spent a big chunk of the late afternoon on her windowsill, and when I was eating my yogurt and magic soup, I spotted a gazebo type bird in the patio garden clearly looking for nest making materials. I think this means Livia's favorite show is about to come out of hiatus. I ended up trapped on the sofa for sometime after lungs, as my foot would not be easily coaxed into bearing weight, so I'm pretty much done with activities involving standing for the day. I have the Doctor tomorrow. We'll see if I need a whole second course of antibiotics.
