They're currently unable to find any cancer in her body and she's next to me sleeping peacefully and deeply.

Man, what a year we've had.

I'd do it again if it meant I'd get to celebrate her birthday again next year. I'll do this as many times as I need to.
Happy belated, Mrs. Ringo ❤️

Woke up with intense pain in both feet. I managed to hobble to work, but I’m not sure how I’m going to do the job today. Walking is a big part of working at the park.

I saw a podiatrist last week, and he told me what I already knew- surgery is imminent. I’m hoping to hold off until Spring or Summer of next year. In the meantime, I’m going to give acupuncture a shot.

All of this foot pain is the result of something called a navicular coalition. The bones on the top of my feet are fused together, and the resulting arthritis comes and goes.

My partner had some good results with dry needling, which is like a more concentrated version of acupuncture. Might be worth looking into.

A little detail from yesterday was it was the first time I had stepped foot inside of a high school since I was in high school. All of the students looked so young. I never looked that young. It was weird. More startling was the security level in place. The school was fairly large and I had difficulty finding a door that was unlocked. I'm volunteering for a refugee organization and the rollout was a bit disorganized. I finally found someone who told me where to go, and like mentioned earlier the security level was a thing I never experienced in my years of secondary schooling: guards everywhere, signing-in, metal detectors...it's really sad that this is the only world kids know. I don't want to imagine what must go through the minds of parents.

Terrible country that this is normalized.

It's troubling. My older kid's HS does not have a particularly high level of security. I don't think there's ever been a problem, but the state of the nation has me wondering whether we should have more fences and guards and all that. Yuck.

Crazy text messages from 86 y.o. relative that I kinda take care of;
"I fell down, hit my head. Friend came and helped me up."

"Someone opened the front door at 3:30 a.m.. I wonder if (that guy I let stay here years ago) still has a key?"

jezuss fukking christ, I so wish I could get old relative into some kinda senior residence situation. So hard; he has dogs he will NOT give up, even though they need more care than he can give them. His apartment is filled with stuff, some which has considerable value, so it's not like we can just pack a few boxes and move him out.

I'm exhausted stressed out.
