This little fountain/waterwheel was neat!

The current owner's father built this little building as a gas station/cafe/lodging/etc. and apparently Bonnie and Clyde stayed there for two nights and left their shotgun.

Clearly from the decorating style, these are people after my own heart.

the cashier at barnes & noble just gave me this duck at checkout and they said “i give these to children and people with a certain vibe.”

floored to know something about me aligns with this duck

So! Got my mammogram report QUICKLY after waiting longer than I should have had to, and making a couple of phone calls. Thus, the PA working with me called in 5 prescriptions for me to a local pharmacy. I'll pick them up tomorrow.

The volunteer service I talked with will probably be able to help me... but maybe not much. It depends on how many shifts people sign up for. I'm hoping it's enough. I was put in contact with a friend of a friend in the area, who agreed to at least pick me up after surgery, though it would be a few hours later when he gets off work.

Another friend's brother is the executive chef of a SUPER fancy Italian restaurant in town, and they made reservations for me late in my stay, and will cover my meal. The menu is super intimidating, but I'm excited.

A few people backed out of watching Peri, but I have a coworker I can count on. She has a dog, but is confident they won't bother each other and can keep them separated if they do.

I made a packing list and am starting to get things together. I want to find a zippable tote bag or something similar, and maybe a fanny pack that wouldn't go over my chest, so tomorrow I will foray the two Goodwills in town while I'm out picking up medications.

Haven't heard back from the flight agency yet, and ticket prices have gone up, so I REALLY hope I don't have to cover that myself... I'll contact them early next week, I guess.

And non-surgery related, but one of my chickens disappeared last night. I couldn't find her anywhere, searched the yard until it was dark, then again in the morning. Nothing. I thought maybe she got out or a hawk got her (but no feather piles). ...But just a few minutes ago I heard her distinctive screaming outside, and she was there digging up my garden. <3

The chickens also decided to start laying eggs in the deepest part of the densest clump of bamboo, and I had to cut down one whole cane and dozens of offshoots to reach them with my grabber tool. Once I got all the eggs I shoved a bunch of leaves over the spot so hopefully they don't go back to it.

I need to make a before-surgery list soon. Get things down below shoulder height, make sure nothing's too heavy... I want to go to the ocean one more time too, and then I plan to go to the Pacific Ocean in SF.

Intimacy is about safety. the peace you feel in someone's presence. The ease in their voice even when you disagree. Someone's attentiveness when you are struggling. Their language when they speak about you. Someone's curiosity to learn you and the surrender when it comes to you.

$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

The little toyland museum was so cute, and PACKED with toys! More on that later...

We were doing a euthanasia today and right as the vet left the room "Another One Bites the Dust" started playing. Never have we moved so fast to turn off the radio.

We've been cackling about it all day though because fuck that is some morbidly hilarious timing

A meeting in my backyard.

These are not even the main cats I feed.

I stopped at the Apple Valley Hillbilly Garden and Toyland Museum on my way home. It's full of all kinds of cool junk and pun creations. I would love to make a roadside attraction like this! The owners were super friendly, too.
