General life update 11/2022

- bought a house on 1/3 acre. working on starting a mini homestead

- my alien betta jumped out of the tank :( a few weeks later I got a female betta from pet supermarket for $5. she’s doing well

- working on converting the front yard to a wildflower and pollinator garden

- backyard will be veggie garden, fruit trees/bushes, and herb garden (and will eventually have a poisonous plant greenhouse)

- we have quail!!! we’re working on getting scrap wood to build an aviary and we might add a few chickens for eggs

- also working on adding a beehive

- we are discussing adding a cane corso/boxer to the family (but not for a while - we have heavy puppy fever but a lot going on)

- and finally: Taylor has gone from being a Huge Troublemaker to being a normal dog with all the goofiness and lack of brain cells included. very much enjoying this stage and she very much enjoys relaxing

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

i cant get a video bc my phone battery is damaged, but here’s my artistic rendition of what Mayas very silly “heel” looks like

she has decided that heeling is just cuddling on the move, and i will not be the person to tell her otherwise

So far the previous homeowners have:

-slapped vinyl siding directly over the original siding without even insulating between the two or properly securing the siding

-installed an above-ground well pump without providing an enclosure/insulation for said pump

-directed the water softener to drain underneath the house

I can’t tell if she wanted to spend time with me while I was baking or if this was a continuation of her constant mission to occupy the warmest space in the house
