​I have to fill out pages of forms for Ethan’s Medicaid review. He is evaluated every year. It’s another stress added to his pile.

Today he said “I am so sick of worrying about my health.” I told him that I can’t even imagine what he must go through. Because I can’t. 

I can’t imagine my 23 year old self trying to be disciplined about my diet, my medications, my health, my trajectory of life…..I had it pretty easy at 23 in comparison.

We had some progress on project Barndominium. There were dump trucks, mini bulldozers and a plumbing inspector- Paul and his buddy did the plumbing last night. The plumbing passed inspection! Yay! Apparently one of the dump trucks got stuck and that was a process.

Avery swung by after her externship. She went with me to get groceries. We put them away together (just like old times) and then we went to dinner. It was such a nice visit.

She even showed me her official badge! She has been busy with safety training. 


It was such a wonderful gift to spend time with her.

I feel like the next few weeks will be a whirlwind. Camping starts, I will be learning a new position, stupid maintenance health appointments for myself…like a car…49 thousand mile check up, (not having issues…just trying to prevent them before they start) and also just agreed to a few shifts at the vet office….which is not actually work for me, it is more introvert socialization. I socialize by working towards a common goal….helping pets. If life wasn’t chaotic, I am not sure we would survive.
