During this vacation

I've managed to:

-Get stuck with all my truck keys a >6hour 1 way drive from the truck
-While my wedding clothes and presents were locked inside
-During the wedding
-Had someone take a set of spare keys to me through the airport
-His plane broke down so he was in a hurry
-He gave the keys to the airport with me, with my name and number on them
-The airport lost/didn't know the keys existed for a full day

-Drive 1000km on two wheels that had not even been finger tightened by the shop that switched over summer tires
-Despite their "we torque each bolt three times so you don't have to retorque" policy
-So I was repeatedly checking tire pressure, bearing heat, etc and made a mechanic's appointment only to discover this
-No idea if vehicle damage occurred from this but my brand new tires are in rough shape
-I look like an idiot but my regular tire place looks worse

-Am sensitive enough to scents/perfumes that I can no longer travel on public transit
-It's a bit of a slow build so I was super sick at a friend's place
-Had to extend stay at friend's basically lying around being sick for an extra day
-Had to cancel most other friends visits
-Basically spent most of the time after the first few days down here either lying around or regretting trying to do anything other than lying around
-this part of the story has more vomit than I want it to

-Walked housesitter through several issues on the phone including
-Get another load of feed delivered
-Bear in the yard
-Pigs out
-Interpersonal differences with people who came to help with pigs
-Threw out breeding tomato seeds
-Almost threw out charcuterie "meat with mold on it" from fridge
-Opened bedroom door because cats asked to be let in so bed full of cats
-There may be an extra cat living there now?
-Opened the trailer full of bear/pig attractant but can't close it so it's just sitting there like the biggest bear attractant in literally the worst bear season we've had
-When the pigs got out they ate more feed so I need to try and get more feed delivered
-I'm not sure how to walk someone on the phone through troubleshooting fences
-I struggle with her literacy/english level so some things likel slip through the cracks
-Several baby geese died, I can't understand her description of how

-Everything costs a ton of money to handle
-Even things like courier costs, fancy food that my stomach can handle, etc add up
-Sorting feed from here is about 3x price of normal
-My credit was already maxed out from being sick which is stupid expensive
-Canceling things meant canceling friend gathering that helps sell some pottery and reimburse some costs

-Body is now alternating between periods where I can't move and where I have to carefully hold all my muscles in tension

-Tomorrow is the drive back home in some combination of rain and maybe?snow depending

-Kinda feeling done but can' afford to be because every bit of rest or trying to cut corners now gives me weeks of extra work later which my body will not tolerate

-I can process it all later but ugh

-I'm now a month in to my two months off work

-I still definitely have less than 6 hours of capacity a day but can still sometimes carve extra out at great cost but that just kicks the can down the road

-I have not had a day since day 3 or so that I've been able to turn off my phone and not cancel things, arrange things, remotely buy things, candle couriering things, etc

-Screens are making my nausea worse sort of by the minute at this point

-So is having the incessant nose of the ringer pinging things on, on my phone that I normally leave sound off

-My bank is sending me ads for investments

-The first specialist appointment to come through for health stuff is a psychiatrist nor neurologist etc so I'm scared about being put in the "you're crazy but not properly crazy little girl, your body is fine" track.

-To see my doctor again before my medical leave ends I will need to sit in the clinic waiting room on her walk-in days.


Anyhow.
