WANDER / WONDER.

"Hm."

Erenville could not deny that he suffered. Anyone would, in his place, he reasoned. Living Memory may have been a veritable wonderland filled with beautiful scenery and golden buildings and creatures he had never once seen before, but at the end of it, he knew he stood to lose a lot more than anyone else here.

He had not yet decided if it was a good thing or a bad thing that he would be given the chance for a long goodbye. Sometimes it felt like just tearing the bandaid off all at once would have been kinder. This...this program with his mother's likeness -- her, but not -- would be the one to end today.

Did it matter? He could see her, hear her, speak with her, even reach out and touch her. And she was, near as he could tell, a perfect recreation. She had her own soul, animated as it was, and she might as well have been the real thing.

He looked at Alta for a long moment, considering what to say. No one would begrudge him for his mourning, he thought. That was the way of these people. But to do so so publicly was a little different. To grieve in front of Alta, the woman he respected so, in front of Wuk Lamat, whom had never let him down, in front of G'raha Tia and Krile, who he knew much less well -- that was almost too much.

And yet, here he was.

the receiver reaches for the sender's hand after the sender placed a blanket around the receiver's sleepy form, wanting to pull the sender to join the receiver.

the sender wraps their arms around the receiver's shoulders/arms from behind, no words spoken. they simply wanted a peaceful moment with the other.

My building got approved for a renovation late last year by the Minnesota Affordable Housing something or other. Great, right? Yes and no. I’m excited to have my unit remodeled, but it means I have to move twice in a month. And my moving date has changed about a dozen times, all set for random dates between April and July. It has made it impossible to really plan for, and I’ve been stuck in a limbo of sorts since October of last year.

( We also had Operation Metro Surge which about killed me from January to March, and shut down any work I was making towards getting ahead of this fiasco. )

Now that it’s extensively underway, the constant shifting timeline has seemed to have settled down and my first moving day is in the second week of July. I spend 20-25 odd days there, and then I gotta move again. They provide the movers both times, which is a massive expense off this wheelchair-using, disabled lady’s back. But they aren’t paying for boxes, specialty movers (I have a grandfather clock), and other expenses that I have had to eat since late last year.

Due in part to me being utterly slammed this month with appointments related to disability recertification (I have had like twelve in the last two weeks already), I haven’t been able to sit down and formalize an actual gofundme to help work my moving expenses so far.

But I’m trying to get everything I need replaced covered — largely because it will not survive one, let alone two, moves — along with getting a small fund going to pay for rapidly expanding expenses. Like it will take $300-$400 to move my grandfather’s clock twice, at minimum.

I have an Amazon wishlist going for the stuff that I need replaced. I can also accept donations through Venmo (ahpedovtta) or PayPal ([email protected]) to help with the costs. And at least I don’t have to pay rent and a deposit at a new place.

Anything helps, including reblogs. Love you, bless, and stay safe out there.

Alta's got a soft mage body. Soft belly. Soft thighs. Lil boobs.
