OK third try. Yesterday I whipped Wegner's by building a planter and repurposing corners from an old gazebo to a trellis. Finished with plantings today. Felt good. Changed my avatar to show, didn't know how to download pic to reply.

I do not know if I beat wegs today but at 04:00
I had the joy of standing within 8 feet of a wild badger for about 3 minutes, I barely dared breath as I stood and watched it snuffling in the grass at the side of the path. He looked up and saw me and we made eye contact, then he just walked calmly on his way. It is amazing what I see in the way of wildlife when on nights at the college where I work. Better than any tonic. If wegs tries to beat me today I will just tell it to sod off.

Well, I don't know much about badgers, so googled them, and found that the European badgers are bigger than the American ones, and that they are unsurpassed in being able to take something fiercely in their jaws and not let go. So this could have been pretty scary and gotten the old adrenaline going, if your adrenals are functioning, that is. So I guess making it through that stressful experience without any increase in symptoms could qualify as beating Wegs, on some level.

Badgers will not attack unless provoked. This one was more interested in finding its breakfast than being agressive. It is wonderful to be that close to wildlife, and I did not feel threatened at any point in our brief encounter. I left work this morning with a feeling of euphoria, which is something I have not experienced since I got wegs.

I'm very glad to hear that it was such a positive experience, and to be educated about badgers. I have had some encounters with raccoons lately, which were somewhat confrontational because I was trying to keep them away from feral cats who were being fed. However, I did not feel threatened or in danger, as the coons backed off and hid in the bushes. We did have eye contact, which I liked. Yes, it is special to be in contact with wild creatures, and I'm glad it left you feeling euphoric!

I'm doing something right. I've felt good for about 2 months and only had 2 crashes during that time. Each crash only lasted about 36 hrs and I just slept continuously. And, I have now set a record for not being in hospital -- 9 months! I hope this continues.... I have a lot of catching up to do.
