And, in honor of my birthday, here's evidence that you're never too old for shenanigans.
Finally had a chance to watch, and grin.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Good News about my cousin Jay!
So he has been moving his arms but it hasn't been considered deliberate BUT he has made some that looked like they might. There was an evaluation and he was able to move his arm on command and open and close his hand.
And his GF was crying and leaning down.. and Jay stroked her face with his thumb. In a way that everyone agrees was very purposeful and didn't happen until she was crying.
I don't know any other details but this is hopeful.

Wow, that's amazing, askye. I hope he continues to get better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That sounds really positive, askye.
Happy Birthday, Toddson!
We gots nothing with our shots but a big sigh of relief. I'll take it.

Very encouraging news, askye.

Oh good! Yeah, I can't imagine stroking someone's face *not* being a purposeful movement.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The Cincinnati Hoarding folks' estimate for cleaning out the office and treating the mold is really reasonable! So we may have them clean out the basement, too, which would be fucking fantastic.
Our occasional lawn guy also gave us a really good estimate to get all the overgrowth (ivy and honeysuckle are invasive as hell and I hate them with a burning fury) and yard debris out of the backyard so we can actually use and enjoy it (well, *after* the cicadas are gone; we have SO MANY cicada chimneys in the backyard, it is not gonna be pretty).
So I'm feeling pretty hopeful today about actually having some nice things moving forward. Totally buying a hammock for the backyard. AFTER the cicadas are gone.
