"Gettin' Too Old to Push This Here Plow..."

Things are a little better now--there are still some serious issues to deal with (I was accused of being mentally unstable, among other things, so I will be seeing a psychiatrist for an evaluation at some point in the near future), but I feel a lot calmer now I'm back with my folks and actually getting actual sleep and being surrounded by a place where nothing really seems to matter. The farm is like being stopped in time and place, going back to a place where you don't do anything except live and build. We put straw on fifty yards of potato plants yesterday; to-day we'll plant flowers and sweet potato slips. It's easier to live when you have such basic things to work with.

The kittens are after all named Hiro and Ando, and on that note I really really still want recommendations for Matt/Mohindar. We also have plants named Sylar and Mohindar--Sylar is a thick succulent shaped kind of like a brain, and Mohindar is a sensitivity plant that closes up its leaves when you touch it. They're very sweet together. And I really need Heroes slashfic, ngl.

Anyway, I have some faith in things working out. So that's what's going on now.

*snuggles*

I'm sorry it's come about this way, but perhaps the evaluation might help? Also, yay farm. I know exactly what you mean. I think I'm a country girl at heart, too.

I think the evaluation will be a good thing, in a way.

I know! I feel like you sort of get it in your blood. It's hard to shake the feeling of belonging in that sort of place.

My hunch is that by 'mentally unstable' they mean 'capable of empathizing' or possibly 'emotionally responsive.' But that's just a hunch, based on what I got told about my own mental stability during my first semester teaching.

*hugs* I love the sound of your farm. I've always loved it when you talk about your home-place.

It's a little more complex than that--they basically told my advisor in school (who is also the head of the health occupations committee) that I was mentally unstable to become a doctor, which she apparently took fairly seriously. Which is why we need to see a psych about it.

I love the farm so much. The forty-three(!!!) chicks are so silly and fun right now, and the pigs are so huge.

Goodness, that is more complex. Best wishes, lady.

All kinds of love to you. Kittens sound good! Also your home sounds lovely.

The kitten is a doll so far, except he is so squeaky at night. He doesn't like to settle down very quickly. On the plus side, he's worked out the litterbox already, which is super (we're not putting him out in the barn until Ando gets here).
