So much has been swirling in my head lately. It’s the diagnosis. Things that seemed important no longer do in this moment and things I hadn’t considered are the most important.

The pile of unopened envelopes on the table is growing larger by the day. I will open and address them of course but this experience reminds me why I supported single payer health care. At some point this weekend I am going to task rabbit to get someone to finish this patio for me. Even though here in Nor Cal I can sit out there past Labor Day I want to enjoy the summer out there with the new additions. Plus it means I can clear boxes out of the storage closet and make room for something else.

Today and tomorrow I am finishing the inside project. It is taking longer than normal because I get tired so quickly right now, but we celebrate victory here and 3 weeks ago I would not have been able to start it so hooray.

I have another art piece arriving Friday and I don’t know where I will hang it. I have 2 more that will be here by the end of summer and don’t know where I will put them either but as with all things I will find a way.

I’ve tried to shut out the noise of the election. Not really a simple thing to do but sort of necessary, for me at least. The possibilities are terrifying but at this point I do not think I will be surprised, although that could still happen.

Reclaiming my body is the priority today, and tomorrow. I can’t create a cure but I can absolutely reclaim my body.

The diagnosis is churning up lots of things. lots. The diagnosis is also shoring my resolve and by now Constant Reader when I am resolved things happen.
