I'm supposed to be camping right now but I broke my neck. Not literally, of course, but something back there is broken enough to make lane changes and cramped car beds a serious health risk. I don't like to drink but I emptied a Groundbreaker IPA into my stomach along with a handful of NSAIDs and magnesium citrate. Hopefully tomorrow morning Pilot and I will be on the road.
In the meantime, here are some crows.
And some thoughts.
Pepper. I thought she was a boy but it turns out she's a girl. Whenever I discover a mistake like this it's a celebration.
My biggest thought right now is that I shouldn't be on the computer with a broken neck, and that I shouldn't have spent the last hour editing crow photos because it was probably editing photos obsessively for the last two days that got me into this predicament.
My second biggest thought is that it's time to leave the clinic I've been working at for the majority of my massage career. That the excuse that I stay because I feel comfortable there has become more of something that I say to myself and less of a truth. And that I am tired of watching everyone else around me leave because their truth is more obvious to them.
It's not a hell hole, it's just not run very well. And I'm done with the crescendoing melancholy that comes with watching things fall apart.
Pepper again. I told her how long I've worked at the clinic and she was shocked because she had no idea humans even lived that long.
My third biggest thought is the freedom I will find if I completely turn my schedule into my schedule and not someone else's. I used to think this meant I had to work hard, harder, hardest. After a near-death experience that came with the unsustainability of this lifestyle I had an epiphany: all I need to do is be smart and alert to opportunities. Which, as it turns out, I am. I just didn't believe that I believed in myself.
Monsoon. He loves me but god damn does he hate the camera
My fourth biggest thought is cute. It came to me tonight when I was feeling sorry for myself at the store while purchasing the magnesium and IPA for my broken neck:
When I finally lay claim to and tame my schedule I want to take a cross-country road trip and meet all my continental Hive friends.
Isn't that thought fucking cute as shit??!!
Almost as cute as this Scrub Jay.
Scrub Jay. For the sake of redundancy. Because sometimes we need redundancy to figure shit out.

Today I wanted to write something like this. My neck is not broken but it hurts on the inside of my lip.... I got something there that takes 7 days to heal and hurts.... Because of stress and bad digestion. I was thinking... But what's that on your neck? Do you give good massages? 😊... I lost the thread. Must be because I'm already sleepy. Get better.
Mouth sores are so painful. I mean, not being able to eat properly is about as bad as having a broken neck.
I give really good massages. I treat pain and injury and postural dilemmas. All the nerdy stuff. And I do reiki! Harder though to massage yourself when it's in a place like the neck. I got it better than it was but I'm still paralyzed from the neck down.
This comment was written with my beer breath from my Stephen Hawking wheelchair device.
Oh, you have beer for breakfast. 🤢That chair is comfortable, but I don't want it!
🤔 Reiki and massage - The girl is almost golden, if it wasn't for the beer for breakfast.
Beer for breakfast??!! gross. No, beer for pain management. Outside that I don't tend to partake. Alcohol used to be my drug of choice, but nowadays it just makes me feel disconnected and dizzy. I don't need drugs to have a good time. I just need them for out of control muscle spasms cuz I'm not enlightened enough to control those on my own.
Yet.☝️
Hi, you showed up! You know what I'm going to say...
I do! You're going to tell me you slept all day and I'm going to say omg so did I and then we're gonna fist bump.
Don't exaggerate, but yes, I had a four-hour nap from 4pm until 8pm. How do you know so much about me, dammit! But I'll go back to sleep now. So nothing...
Lovely shots! The last one is at least impressive :)
Thank you! Those jays are so fast, it's hard to get clear shots of them.
Seems we were similarly incapacitated yesterday, my lower back was on strike to the point I could barely walk. It's much improved today, hope your neck improves similarly.
Hey now, that was my road trip idea! Well, except most of my hive friends aren't in the states, which might make it a little more difficult. You've got a place to crash in Louisville if you want it though.
Thanks @coloneljethro. I felt bad because I promised Pilot we would go camping, and he was soo excited by those words that he was bouncing around the room. Then instead of camping we slept all day. Neck is almost better, though. Could still get one night in. Hope your back got its demands met and went back to work.
I will definitely hit you up when the trip happens!
