I guess it’s just you and me, bird.

I'm a Deaf vagabond currently living on Vancouver Island. Bicycles dominate my life, but I also make time for climbing, hiking, camping, and cats. And if I have time left over after all that, I write about it.
9/11 wasn’t my day.
In super-recent, as of two minutes ago, news, my mouse has died. I’m using the touchpad instead, and it’s making me feel self-conscious about my tech skills.
9/11 was supposed to be New Tooth Day. The hygienist asked me how I was doing as I sat down in the dental chair. I was bursting with anxiety and confessed, “I’ve had so many setbacks that I’m afraid this won’t even happen.”
It did not happen.
I buried my face in my hands upon learning the news, trying to make sense of the disappointment. I’d already spent a few days in a cloud of negative thoughts, preparing for bad news. My preparedness did not help: I was still every bit as disappointed as I deserved to be.

First things first: Enfoiré had an emergency endoscopy this morning and is on his way to recovery. The picture below was taken shortly after he returned home. He is high as fuck.
Yann still needs financial rehabilitation, so the GoFundMe remains active. The $3000 goal is based on the loan Yann took out. Ideally, he’ll be able to pay off his loan as soon as possible before the interests start eating into his repayments.
The good news is that 43% of the goal was reached within 24 hours. The great news is that it shows Yann how many people care: not just close friends but also people who understand that such a pet emergency is a significant life event. I was more optimistic than Yann when I set up that fundraiser: I’d witnessed a flurry of kindness, many of which came from unexpected sources, after my accident last year.
Before I expound on my sentimentality, because I know everyone wants to know the answer to the question, “What was it that the little shit ate, anyway?”
