Not certain why I am unable to find Gothic or witchcraft groups that won't kick me just for participating and answering questions. So over trying to find one that won't. I started my own out of frustration, but very few have signed up. I guess the admins of these groups are threatened by knowledgeable Elder members.

Doing my duty, reporting possible art theft. Jeez, people, come on! It's not like you can't ask for permission, or you know, PAY people for their hard work. 🙄

I made a memorial picture of Hex using AI tools, which I then edited in GIMP.

Prompt: single male red eyed albino Angora rabbit, wearing Bunad, standing on hind legs, chewing dandelion leaves, in a field of dandelions

I couldn't get it to make him chew the leaves to save my life, but it was close enough. I took it to Gimp and made necessary alterations as seen below. He still isn't wearing a bunad, but he looks dapper and Norwegian-adjacent.

Pumpkin seeds for the bread gods, pumpkin guts for the garden gods, pumpkin skins for the yarn dyeing gods! The pumpkin itself is for me, mwahahaha!

I freakin' miss going to powwows. Circle dances, good food, good medicine, hablando con la raza, sage in the air, the drums, the drums, the drums... and being able to buy responsibly sourced porcupine quills, beads, silver... Closest I can get here is going to the local cultural museum (no wonder it's my favorite place in town!) and participating in Tidenes Skaperfest. I miss my Idaho people, my California, Washington and Oregon people, mi gente de Mexico. Sending out love and remembrance of our time together with an extra dose of hugs.

While seated at the dining room table, I have cored and pared all the apples we harvested from our tree. I divided them into those which will be dried for Hex, and those with which I will bake. I taught Tommy how to make a strawberry/Norwegian apple syrup for the pancakes he made for breakfast (he did a marvelous job!) I baked an oatmeal raisin Norwegian apple cake in the microwave, it turned out brilliantly. No recipe, just eyeballed the ingredients.

Tommy remarked that cooking/baking in the microwave seemed like such an American thing to do. I forget that most people around the world just use the microwave to heat or reheat food, not cook or bake. I think he was impressed with how the cake turned out.

I made red jalapeño hummus to eat with carrots for lunch. I also accidentally broke the bottom shelf in our refrigerator. I made a huge bowl of Greek/Mexican fusion salad, and put it in the fridge, barely fitting the bowl in. I later heard a strange sound, couldn't identify it, went about my business. I went to refrigerate the hummus, and discovered the sound was the shelf having broken under the strain. Oops.

I am alive, and carpe-ing the Hex out of the diem. I'm being careful not to overdo it, still trying to find my new center of balance. But I am looking forward to getting back into DPS services, I feel like they cut me loose too soon. I am also looking forward to whether or not I will qualify for the weight loss program too. I came back from the brink, and I intend to dance.

I'm HOME!!!

CONTENT WARNING: medical conditions, hospital exams, treatment using meds

Update: I don't have pneumonia. Nor do I have a blood clot in my lungs, to check for which I was readmitted to the hospital Friday afternoon. What I do have is pericarditis, which I have had on at least 10 other occasions since moving to Norway. Like a dope, I mistook each instance for mere muscle strain. Unlike previously, this time it's not something I can heal from on my own.

Don't let any of that scare you, I should recover just fine. The sac around my heart is inflamed and filled with too much fluid, which is putting a lot of excess pressure on the right side of my heart. It makes me feel like I am being autopsied pre mortem, and I hurt especially when bending down to pick up things I drop, use the restroom, brush my hair, or towel off after showering.

They kept me overnight, ran a CT scan, ekgs, and did ultrasounds to figure out what's actually going on. They are administering ibuprofen for the inflammation, and a med I don't know the name of in English to reduce the amount of fluid in the sac. I'm here until at least Monday. If the fluids aren't receding fast enough, they will send me to a hospital in Oslo to drain them.

I am short of breath, but infinitely less so than Friday. I tire after a couple of hours just embroidering my bunad, and I had two low blood sugar incidents Friday night. I'm in a lot less pain, and Tommy and I mini celebrated our 8th anniversary with roses and a few hands of Murder of Crows, playing Raid: Shadow Legends, and him reading to me while I embroidered.

I still rattle and wheeze some, but I no longer require being wheeled around, and I hurt less during the day. Folks, don't be a dope like me. Even if you think you just pulled a muscle, head to the hospital for ALL kinds of chest pain. If Tommy and our friends hadn't convinced me to seek help, this might have become a memorial account.

PS. I was this years old when I learned that in addition to the brain's myceal sheath, we have similar protective sacs around our hearts and lungs. It makes sense, but no one ever accused me of being the brightest.
