Hi Loves,

I wanted to give a Caturday update. I am home and doing much better. I even painted for the first time since 2020.

Being disabled is like calculus, and I am still learning how to pace myself with the 90 minutes of peak energy I have most days.

My dear friend Kathy is going to help me get a better walker in exchange for the painting I created this week. I cannot wait to order it! It will mean no more arm and shoulder pain every time I leave the house, and it should also reduce the near-falls I have several times a day when my walker wheels get caught on roots, cobblestones, etc. It will have bike tires and brakes, so I can get it tuned regularly at a bike shop.

I had an allergic reaction last weekend and had to use my epi pen and call an ambulance. Thankfully my system is settling down a bit more each day.

I could use some help this month with donations for food and utilities. I've gotten everything else set for September, and I have all my fingers and toes crossed that I will be approved for SSDI (Social Security Disability) soon.

Tiger had a seizure last week, but has been much better and Thurston is her loving companion. Your community care has been life-saving for me and the kitties, and I would not have gotten through these past 13 months without my community.

I love you!!

Hugs,

Michele
