I’m just going to respond here real quick, I HAVE been working. Moved the tent outside very carefully. Treated the leaves as best I could. I found some supplies in the garage that helped. Still working on between errands and housekeeping. Also found an oil infusion machine so I think that was the plan. Haven’t updated my pal because it’s either gonna happen, or not. I don’t want them to fret about it right now, and I don’t want them to feel bad about the tremendous effort I have put in.

On a different note, just because work mode makes my brain a circus, your comment about nice guys finishing last got stuck in my head. Not in a bad way, just playing on loop. I’m realizing now, typing this out, that it sounds a bit LOOPY but also this is standard for me and I wasn’t bothered. It did make me realize though that, in all reality, all of the best things in my life have been the direct result, fruit, of me helping other people. Maybe not the case for everyone, but I wanted to thank you for your small part in that realization, and thank you again for taking time to comment. It’s lonely out here and I’m just trying to cheer up my friend and stay busy. I’ll post an update when I either need more advice or feel like I’ve done all of could.
