Life

I mentioned a week or two ago that I was pretty ill over the summer and had lost 28 or so pounds in three months and was mostly incapacitated during that time from the pain. I'm not various meds of which one is pain. Over the last six weeks tha pain has gone down substantially and while I haven't had a completely pain free day yet it's massively better. The stomach swelling I had has gone down by 75% percent. I know long think I'm having twins.

Jax and I, and somedays Teresa goes with us, are out hiking everyday. I'm getting my endurance back but it's going to be a long road back. My hope if by February I'll be able to hike back from town again.

So far one of the best off season's I've had. There are currently 13 big horn, six mule deer, three grey foxes and two adult skunks that show up during the day time to get hot dogs. Jax knows not to mess with the skunks but he is curious and he does not understand why two of the last four days he has walked down the porch just to check them out and say hi and they have sprayed him. Teresa has stepped up and cleaned him both times. He looks so lost when he gets sprayed like "what did I do wrong". Today he wouldn't talk down to that end of the porch even when I just sent to fee the foxes as they alternately took turns coming up the hill.
