Well, confirmation that next stage of house renovation starts at the end of July. For August we'll be a construction site, but then hopefully all shiny and fixed ready for cosy season... π€π» It is pretty terrifying, but trying to stay hopeful!

Tonight's run. Took the pups on a trot around the hill π The long trail had such tall overgrowth that it felt like the ongoing path at the beginning of 'Labyrinth!'

Observations of James Weaslegrease: The piles of sentient detritus known as "Goblins" make no sense biologically, and as such are best left unexplained by science. Without science, they make perfect sense.

A bit of promo as reaching readers becomes increasingly difficult. My current contemporary fantasy series is inspired by British myth and folklore. Dan Mackmain is mostly human, but he is a dryad's son, so the Green Man sends him to solve problems when the mundane and the uncanny collide.

We're randomly watching old WWE Royal Rumble matches. Someone's entrance music is the Hallelujah Chorus.
Me: If this isn't Castor Troy, they have no right to use this.
Himself: You'd like to see Nicholas Cage -
Me: YES YES YES EFF YES. And so would EVERYONE.

Like 99% of trauma recovery is doing stuff humans should do for their health, safety, & happiness anyway-- but we as a culture have forgotten or not prioritized. Survivors in recovery have to get back to the basics of being a human in ways that every human would benefit from.

I am disabled. I'm self-employed. I get no benefits.
Yesterday my brain had a breakdown and insisted I needed to be unalive. I made myself safe, took medication and am exhausted but ok right now.

PSA: In times of crisis and uncertainty, especially elections, it's important not to fall for any post/tweet/info. Question their reliability. Question who they are aimed at. Question the motive *and* objective.

Good news: full house rewiring may not be required! Electricians say fixing to make things safe is a better solution, costs a lot less and takes just a few days! π€π»it goes smoothly, but we'll be so relieved if the house gets a metaphorical stent rather than a full transplant!
