2021-07-03 — He Said No

I did two jobs today (including getting a neverending job done, which always feels nice)… And I said no to everyone who called (well, no fire today I should say).

So that’s something. 😊

I mashed my knee yesterday, pretty good actually, trying to get that Escape alternator taken care of, and guess what the result was? The swelling went… down. 🙃

My knee is slightly sore, but the swelling went down.

So that’s… Something, too. 😊

You know, I think the migraine medicine really is helping. I haven’t had a full blown attack since I started using it here. there when I feel like I’m on edge. Still, I am doing better taking care of myself, but at this point, I’m starting to think it’s not a coincidence. I’ve had some rough days were I feel like I should have gone way over the edge, but… I haven’t.

First car was rebuilding a door latch, bracket, and handle assembly.

Second was a pre-purchase inspection.

Then I called it a day. 😊

At least out and about working. I came home and wired up my truck for trailer brakes, so it’s all set to pull a trailer with electric brakes now, so that’s good. Just need to fix the brakes on. trailer. 🙃 Or buy a trailer with working brakes. 😁

I’m super tired. It’s after two. I’m up late because I spent most of the day at Liz’s today. Chrysti passed about midnight or so. I don’t remember exactly. Hard but good. It’s awkward for me. I feel out of place. I want to be there and to support, but… I don’t feel like I belong there, so that’s hard.

But I’m glad for everyone, that Chrysti’s suffering is over. That closure has come, and that we can still celebrate her life and mountain-sized impact on her family and friends.

Well… gonna get a shower. It’s a bit late, as I was rolling in grass hours ago, so the bites have probably already occurred, but… Maybe I’ll spare myself one or two.

Off to bed. Love to all.
