Oh God, I have trimmed all the trees around the house so perfectly that this year’s new growth is proceeding in perfect accordance with and fulfillment of my plans, I just did a full circuit and there were only like five shoots that were not merely dead ends (I’ll trim them in winter, after their production gets sucked down thickening trunks on the way in fall) but actually in the way of things that could influence their growth to be less than ideal.
Also all the canopies I opened up huge gaps in in the upper backyard when I first started fixing their structure are filling in this year or next and it looks great, cathedral ceiling with two canopies meeting at the apex, if those trees grew so much since I arrived they were maybe even only 15 years established back then.
Also the black walnut in the lower back regrowing nice and bushy, it’s really still in the stage of getting enough sun for enough growth next year (an adult snapped a few years ago and this is shoots from the cut stump), plenty of legacy roots so it’s not gonna bottleneck on water or nutrients, just let that continue for a few years but keep an eye on developing some leader as a new trunk.
Forcing the knees straight (involved in a lot of variations of standing up) was the last movement I’ve really had to recover. I still have to pull on or prop myself against something rising from the ground, but with the help of a 65-step staircase in a nearby park it’s getting better.
I continue to find insanely great versions of common goods just by going on Amazon and getting the #1 item in the category, recent hits include bucket & mop and broom & dustpan sets and a detachable keychain.
Plus stuff where the variety as vs. any physical location is great, just got a teakettle that is exactly the aesthetic I was going for on like 4 different dimensions
Badger old enough to lose the subcutaneous baby fat I guess, skritching him just now I could much more closely feel muscle tone, which made me much better able to focus it to massage and loosen his whole chest up
Has anyone assumed you’re on Ozempic yet? You got a plan for how to handle those convos?
No, if I’m giving the whole schpiel from the top I point out that with these drugs out people should expect “person I recognize is suddenly much thinner” to be a more common thing in the future though.
In general, men in mainstream fiction are rarely raped; western fanfiction has enthusiastically fixed this regrettable oversight. Entire wildly popular subgenres, such as omegaverse,⁴ were created so that men could experience misogyny.
