Singing “It’s 2AM, 30 F-N degrees in here and I hate life” as I get up this morning cold, hurting knowing the propane went out because the little space heater that could just can’t. It at least keeps the bed area in the broken down beauty a bit warmer than the rest of the travel trailer. One advantage is it’s fairly large for a travel trailer… also a disadvantage. Everything’s harder heating/cooling, electrical, lines, wires, etc. It degrades faster because there’s more to keep up. Not optimal but it works for now so I’ll take it! … as if I had a choice.
Well I got up, got bundled up. That took me 40 minutes or longer. Rigid, in pain and feeling like death. Got the full propane tank from the garage over to the trailer. Managed to do it with only one fall, knocked the wind out of myself but ok. Those previously mentioned gloves (in the thank you post) came into play. Got a little tear in my only winter jacket 🙁 but I’m gonna see if I can put a patch or something over it. Got the empty tank out, easy part. Then wrestled getting the heavy new tank in for another 15 minutes. Gloves saved me again. My old gloves just didn’t protect my hands so I’d come in with pinches, scratches and things through the gloves. These new ones, perfect, not a scratch on my hands. Anyway finally got the tank in, felt like collapsing. Got everything hooked up and closed up, done! Went inside and heated the place up. Had some meds to help, drank a boost shake, posted a thank you on Facebook for donations sent (which I forgot to do the other day thanks Parkinson’s) and here I sit typing to you.
Yesterday was kind of productive, kind of a wash. I took the morning off for me. Needed to rest and restore. Did some things, cut some new vinyl decals, talked to friends. It was great, although I did have a major random anxiety/panic attack. I got back on track as quick as I could. Then took a medium nap and painted a base coat on a figure last night. All in all not a bad day but wasn’t feeling too great so it was an ok day boarding on good!
There’s not much more really. Boring weekend. Kind of anxious and scared but not as bad. I did add a couple higher priced items on my Amazon list hoping xmas might come early or at all lol (dropKAG.com click the link). They will allow me to make my own 3D art in house, where I’m stuck mostly and possibly create a revenue stream, so possible income which would be super fantastic. Without the donations, I wouldn’t have made it this long, with any decent quality of life. I’m actually feeling better, gaining some weight back and it feels so great knowing people actually care. You’ve all brightened up my life in so many different ways. The dark is always one step behind me and these little kick starts keep me ahead of it. I don’t even know how to say thank you anymore, I’m so humbled. It’s definitely changed me as a person. For the better I think. I appreciate you all so very much. With that I’ll promote the site… dropKAG.com (dropKAG = ME) Still trying to find the energy to expand and post more, it will come. Still need donations until the lawyers get everything figured out. I WILL HAVE THINGS IN MY SHOP on dropKAG.com starting some time Monday. It may only be a few things but they will be there. All funds go to my fight against Parkinson’s!
As always, stay safe out there and much love my friend!
