This is slightly when my journey distances itself from the main intern work-crew. Week 6 was spent mostly on resting and self-care. I got my brace on Tuesday, and felt very fortunate that that is all I need for healing, and I quickly figure out how I most safely make it up the few steps up and down the CR campus. With my limited energy and more sedimentary situation, I was excited to find the Make a Difference Fund through WabiSabi. I am excited to announce that Lena and I, along with fellow Moab friends, are applying for up to $750 to install a community food forest along the Mill Creek bike path. It is a fun opportunity, and why not? I have also spent time reading, doing art, enjoying restful fun like playing Magic, reading, and watching shows. I am also planning our house gardening day, hoping for a fun workparty permaculture-style with brunch, projects, and fun. I quickly worked up my endurance and strength throughout the day, making the stroll to the park even which opened me up to letter-writing, which I have not done in a long while. I could do laundry, make bulk foods for the cook crew and generally, do the dishes and clean the home, and even pick flowers from the garden. It has been a challenge to not feel like too much of a tax on the group or my partner, but I am finding ways to satisfy and relieve that worry. Everyone has been so incredibly helpful too, with an abundance of understanding and assistance I feel wholly grateful for. I am also grateful for when I get to leave the house, including visiting the Moab Library :)
My family has been really kind too, and I'm grateful to have gotten a care package including supplements to help my bones heal and stuff to keep this brace from smelling too awful!
