The problem with living in a bus is I can feel every single movement every other person in the bus makes.
Sometimes that is comforting, like being gently shaken to (death) sleep by my husband stimming and jiggling his knee constantly, the rocking motion meaning I’m not alone. V easy to fall asleep to.
But then there is the pain I am currently in, and the sensory overwhelm, and every single footfall feels like fire in my bones.
Yes I realise this is a me problem, and when I found myself gritting my teeth and getting irritated, I went and took some panadol, and some vitamin D, and there might be stronger things in my future because bones. on. fire.
Do I know why my bones and pain are particularly unmanaged lately? No I do not. I take the meds I always take and suddenly fire in the ribs! breathing hurts! dislocations ahoy!
I mean, I *did* almost dislocate a shoulder trying to undress a rooster from his skin earlier, so mayyybe it’s just age and weather and fucked up collagen.
ANYWAY.
We have received the preliminary plans from our kit home people! There are a few more tweaks to make on the engineering side I think, but it’s not long until I have ACTUAL PLANS to submit to council for approval! Which probably means I need to look up what other paperwork needs submitting at the same time. But see above, bones on fire, teeth clenching, blech.
I know the insurance company conducted soil tests, so I’m hoping I can just use those soil tests and not actually need to pay for the tests again. And then there’s plumbing and septic systems and oh god my poor brain. BUT, we are getting closer to the beginning. The beginning of the beginning!
In other other news, my delightful mental health kittens are going to be showcased at Petbarn Rosny sometime this week – like whenever I can deliver them because my car is headed to the mechanic for a nice rest and spa day. We think the heater coil? tap? something, I forget the word, is playing up, and the car keeps overheating and regurgitating coolant everywhere, while also having issues with the aircon/heater, and blah blah blah.
It’s all very very boring and dull and annoying and I hate it. Things need to just WORK omfg.
But! Kittens, being showcased for adoption is VERY GOOD, they’re all three of them incredibly ready for homes and humans of their own. And then I can have NEW KITTENS which is always exciting.
