Nix/86 - Days 7-9 - Graphic Novel/Zine
ALT TEXT DAY 7
Sunday Another Zero Day
Feeling residual achy from weather that rolled in yesterday Stiffness is bad. Sleep was ok. Tomorrow is another day. Trying not to get too frustrated with the slowness of this all.
It was a slow Sunday, took a bath, cleaned the cat box, caught on some of these pages, watched some toob, reading 'The Talisman' by King + Straub. Chill lovely day with a fluorescent pink sunset. Watched some vids from the emergency world naked bike ride in Portland, OR. My favorite pic was a lady riding a scooter in only underwear with 'Assifa' written on it.
Picture of a pair of blue underwear with 'Assifa Rides' across the butt and 'I Fight Fascism' on the waistband.
Day 7
Along the bottom of the page:
I am totally digging #OperationInflation with a box in the shape of a sign that says "Deflate Fascism"
To the right of the sign there is a picture of a beaver with a speech bubble that says "Don't Tread on me"

Day 8 - 4 more steps
Back on the walker this morning. Stiffness and pain kept me from more steps. I'm exhausted from fighting the pain, feeling the pain, living the PAIN.
Sleep - a drawing of a purple rectangular gummie. CBD gummies are a game changer.
It's indigenous people's day which the dumpster is trying to rebrand back to Columbus Day. Total horseshit! I live in the land of the Puebloan peoples. I live closest to Taos Pueblo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the U.S. They pre-date Columbus day by many centuries. Let's celebrate the diversity of indigenous cultures instead, and marvel at their resilience and fortitude.
A line drawing of one of the main buildings of Taos Pueblo below the drawing it says Taos Pueblo - also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
On the bottom left a circle with a drawing of a Canyon Towhee with a rad mohawk underneath the drawing it says A resident Canyon Towhee the clowns of the 'hood' the mohawk masters.
On the bottom right there is another drawing of a spiral and the head and tail of a cat on the top edge of text box that says The best part of the day was getting into bed without assistance. I'll take any and all small wins. YAY!
ALT TEXT - DAY 9
Walked out of my bedroom * ~12 Steps *
I was feeling ok this morning and pushed myself to at least get out of my bedroom. And I did and it felt good. Good sleep and eating 3 solids is making me feel stronger. A little less pain helps too. But i'm not getting too pumped every day is different.

KP and my broken truck loaded up for a tow to Santa Fe. Keeping fingers crossed that the pack rat didn't totally destroy my car. We use it to haul stuff - garbage, horse poop, groceries, supplies... I'm not sure I can even get into my truck right now let alone drive it. We shall see. The service center is giving her a rental so she doesn't have to stay in S.F.

I had a chill day catching up on Nix/86 + playing spelling bee - 2 geniuses in a row! Also, continued my latest read of 'Slow Horses'. The book and the show are startlingly similar. When KP was back we had end of harvest pesto with pasta and watched the latest 'Only Murders in the Building'.

There is a line drawing of a Toyota Tacoma truck with text beneath it that says La rata llenó el motor de caca!
to the left of the truck box it says Day 9 and underneath is a cute drawing of an otter with a speech bubble that says "What's Shakin' Bacon?"

Day 2/2 of getting into bed without asssistance - WOOT!
