Undisturbed.

The fill. If you recall, we had to add a lot of fill before laying the foundation for the house, because this is a low point that will flood otherwise. [Or, rather, it might if we had any rain, but those days seem to be over.] Anyway, we built up the area for the house, but on all sides, its fairly steep and uneven. Now that I'm having so much difficulty walking, Wings decided a while back that it needed to be filled in sooner rather than later, and this was the week.

With more expense, natch. And then there's the hay for the additional seven horses, the tax payments this week and next, and the $550 out of pocket yesterday for my first treatment.  All of it? In cash.

As far as the treatment goes? Welp. I'm happy. Undisturbed by all these stresses, remarkably, even though I know I've got to cover them somehow. My pain levels haven't changed objectively, I don't think, but the degree to which they occupy the forefront of my brain has (for the moment, anyway).

Which means that, so far, this ungodly-expensive drug therapy seems to be working for me. Which also means I need to keep bringing in enough to cover it [and the horses, and the taxes, and and and and].

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
