things have been fairly quiet this week. not much to report.
I’ll be ok
Two consecutive 4-day work weeks for people in BC, Canada. Our Thanksgiving is next week, very much looking forward to it.
chuck went in for knee surgery on thursday and came out a tripawd. his injury was much worse than originally thought. he also had diarrhea most of the weekend, but we’re finally out of that stage now. he is resting and seems to be adapting pretty well, all things considered.
last photo of him with four legs.
my other dog is in for a teeth cleaning today and getting at least one pulled today, which means 2/3 dogs here will be drugged up and in recovery of some sort. thankfully dental recovery is usually quite quick and easy.
We had a windstorm midway through the week last week, with knocked about 75% of the apples off of my little apple tree, a few days before they would have been perfectly ripe. So we made apple crumble, and it was absolutely delicious. None of the apples were wormy this year even though we don’t spray the tree- just lucky I suppose.
I saw the CPAP specialist, who is apparently a respiratory guy, and he agreed to tighten up the settings on my CPAP so it stops giving me jumpscares in the middle of the night. I can go see him again in a month if that doesn’t help. So far it has not, but it’s only been four days. I also wrote to the nurse helpline to ask how I should dry my hose, and they not only offered to send me a spare hose for free, they are also sending a full face mask for when I inevitably get a cold. This is of course a completely new experience with ResMed, but they can keep it up!
Things have been back and forth the last few months but it’s finally starting to get a little better. This last week I’ve been working on my server and have made tons of progress which has been really nice. However my VPN gave out and borked the internet. It’s been a big setback because I’m not familiar with networking or Linux and so it’s been very difficult and frustrating. My provider has good support so I’m hoping they get back to me tomorrow, but man.
I’m finally getting to work events again soon as well which will be nice. It’s been actual years since I’ve gotten to work in events in extended capacities so I’m glad. My jobs since I’ve moved have both not been in my field and not good so I’m glad to be back in events.
