Since childhood, I've been sensitive to others' emotions & shrunk myself, deferred needs & reshaped my life + personality to make room.
If you're like me, I rec these books:
For help understanding root causes: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
For help changing: Stop People Pleasing

It's amazing how much experience we can pack into life: this past weekend I saw:
- a double rainbow
- 2 yearlings, a marmot, baby squirrel
- 2 sets of mountain lion tracks
- a meteor
- B-17 crash wreckage
- dripping moss, forest matriarchs, cascades, high mountain passes
& crept into an old mine

It's like this everywhere in the valley. When you climb, any bend in the trail can lead to a surprise stream crossing or cascade.

I have been off bluesky and under blue skies for most of the past week, in my beloved Olympic National Park.
Can you believe that this is from the eastern side, the rain shadow? We hiked thru two river valleys with giant evergreens towering over unending, rolling, tilted fields of ferns & moss.

There may be only 2 of these in the city of Portland right now and I managed to get my hands on one!
When I was born, my first stuffed critter was a Moomintroll. Snufkin is my hero. I couldn't *not* buy this!

Here it is, fresh from the oven. I'm super proud of this, mainly because 90% of it was from CSA veggies.
I have Remy the Rat to thank for the gift of loving eggplants and tomatoes, two vegetables I grew up hating.

So, when you increase the veggies by 50% and also switch the mandoline setting from .25in to 1/16th, you get six times the slices as last time and it takes a full episode of Alien:Earth to assemble your ratatouille.
And yes, this is A Remy Ratatouille in progress, but not The Remy Ratatouille.

Well, crap. Tested positive today. Mild head-cold symptoms.
I've communicated through the convention discord and with other servers I'm on and text and email, hoping to reach folks in case you spent time with me, especially on Sunday.
