Well yesterday was a wash out

Kamyk was moved to an ICU with Covid and an O2 level in the low 80s. I spent all day after only getting 3 hours sleep texting on Skype in group chat and private chats all day and into the next. I got to bed at 12:30 … am. Yes Ron was and is upset about the long hours and the toll it is taking on me, but he understands I am doing my best. Kamyk is in the best place for care, the ICU. Problem is his mother and one sister have Covid and visited him in his old room for days. Knowing they had Covid. They find masks inconvenient and unpleasant.

That sister is a complete narcissist who kept trying to make the group chats about her. She was reminded several times we needed to concentrate on Kamyk, but she couldn’t even use his chosen name, constantly dead naming him. Finally the good sister started a separate private chat with me. She was very angry at her other sister’s actions. I just started ignoring the bad sister. Had a good talk with the good sister on the private channel. We learned about each other. I wouldn’t share with her what Kamyk shared with me as that was his right to do so if he wanted. She said she knew about some of the adult stuff but not the kid stuff. I advised her to talk with her brother when he gets better.

She also was abused, but did not go into details. I have a policy of not asking if the person doesn’t seem to want me to, I figure if someone wants me to know something they will tell me most of the time. Anyway Ron has gone out shopping, there are a few dishes to wash, so I am going to take medication and do them so he has clean counters to set stuff on. Hugs. Thank you all for not only understand but sending thoughts, feelings, and prayers for my friend. He has been through so much he did not need this set back. I know he was talking he wanted it all to end. I think that was desperation talking, not his normal self. Hugs all.

Two videos about my abuse, about my current sleep issues, and about me trying to help a fellow survivor

Hi everyone. I spent the late morning / early afternoon making a couple videos. I was talking about what was keeping me busy and occupied the last couple of weeks. But these videos touch on my hurts, my pain, not news. One is shorter because when Ron came to the door, I meant to hit the pause button but hit the stop recording one. I am using new equipment, so if there is any sound or video issues, please let me know. Hugs. Scottie

I talk about my own childhood abuse and helping a friend with his own abuse issues first part.

Me speaking about my abuse and trying to help a friend who was abused also. I also explain my time management issues.

As to the Jackfruit recipes:

There are many on Food Network’s site, and I’m just certain I’ve seen someone create a pseudo-seafood dish with it, so it should be here: https://www.foodnetwork.com/search/jackfruit-recipes- , but it’s not. There is no jackfruit seafood recipe, and but one recipe for vegan seafood, Vegan Sushi. I almost got lost on the site, though. I love that channel except on Fridays and Saturdays! 🌞

Meanwhile, the bad news; here’s the allergen info for jackfruit. It’s comprehensive, so you’ll be able to know if you should have it or not, after you read the beginning of it, and there’s more info from there. https://www.annallergy.org/article/S1081-1206(18)31144-X/abstract (For instance, latex gives me an open rash, so I need to avoid jackfruit, I’m gonna say.)

This was gonna be a really pretty post, too! Ah, well. Enjoy some forest instead.
