Solitary senior widow secular science minded green witch in the Mojave Desert with her canine guardians surviving late dx hemochromatosis and its myriad complications; lupus, Hashimoto’s, diabetes, liver disease and other unmentionables

Finally figured out how Finn and Poe knows there’re coyotes on the property regardless of where they are in the house, or where the coyotes are. My house is in the middle of 5 acres, swamp cooler is on the roof in middle of the house. They smell them through the swamp cooler! #dogs

Grandson is here visiting for the week. Me: The pump isn’t working on the swamp cooler. I will die now. Him: *crawls up on the roof* Me: Honey, if you’ve never dealt with the swamp cooler before you might not know how to find the pump. Him: Ayah, I build rocket ships, think I can figure it out

Oncology appt tomorrow is going to be interesting. Badly anemic yet have a genetic iron overload disease. Not getting enough healthy food to eat and the healthy food I have, is very difficult to get down. Because of interstitial cystitis, no spice. Bland food. #vegan diet with #hemochromatosis

Same visitor that brought fleas last year, did it again. Went through HELL last year with fleas! They are not native to the area they have to be brought in. Neighbor has 20 dogs not one flea, other has 3 dogs, no fleas. #Dog visits, it has fleas AGAIN 🤦🏼‍♀️ Diatomaceous earth and incense in guest room🤞

Extinction is forever. We can't afford to let the Endangered Species Act (ESA) be dismantled. But this month, the Trump admin finalized three new rules that put wildlife of greater risk of extinction. Here's what you need to know ⬇️

Not looking forward to the week. Edison tinkered with the power lines supposedly fixing out constant outage issues. Hoping it holds up but it’s still going to be hot. No ac, swamp coolers usually cool 20 degrees inside. That will leave me at 80° plus inside for the week. Lupus already having a party

For a few days after labs I go through inner turmoil. Deep introspection and all the range of feelings. All the mofo abnormals fvck with me. Then I vow to try harder and make a plan to live accordingly. I’m in the inner turmoil stage.

So why did I give myself a chemical burn in my eye? Had 2 bottles on my nightstand. Alaway eye drops and Alkalife alkaline drops for my drinks. One bottle is significantly larger than the other. In my defense, I did have a half of an edible gummy less than an hour before.

I bought salad makings at the supermarket today, because it's Britain and, while we have done stupid things with our food supply, (see Brexit) we never put RFK Jr. in charge of its quality control.

🧵*sigh* Getting reports high numbers of rattlesnakes are out and about. Conflicted on the current movement to relocate them “within their range” which is usually within the range of the home they were removed from. I am an animal lover that’s why I don’t eat them. But this doesn’t make any sense.
