yes and no

First - hey paid members, this is for you.

Next - I have been thinking tonight of things that I like and do not like on LJ.

I generally like most people I come across. There are good ideas, interesting thoughts, and so on to be seen here. I don't know how to say this without it sounding trite - it's no great revelation.

However, there are things that I notice and either look askance at, or think are just plain...( Read more... )

(no subject)

I have been sitting up all night (with my usual upset stomach) telling my secrets to jet. and gossiping. I've also been talking to dear sparklegirl about life stuff.

I'm not really tired, but I am achy. I'm going to call the chiropractor soon, and schedule an appointment for Monday or Tuesday. That will be pleasant.

I need to go to the healthfood store so I can pick up stuff for my ultra-restricted diet. I'm so sick of the upset stomach and constant fevers, and the other things I don't really talk about here, like having eczema in my ear canal and a scratchy scalp and no energy and no appetite sometimes (or being hungry, but everything looks repellent, either just because, or sometimes as a result of my upset stomach).

I have the kit to help with the infection (which is a massive systemic candida infection, for the unbearably curious). It's very hard to do this if you don't have all the supplies and a good chance of sticking to it... I have had to be very tough with myself in the past. For the next few weeks I will eat a lot of chips and salsa, a lot of chicken, a lot of salad. I need to stock up. My mom picked up a lot of it on my birthday, but I need to make sure I have things like quinoa pasta and such.

I'm afraid and excited. I know I will be very hungry for a while and lose weight (damn it, just when I got pants that fit and that I liked!) and feel pretty horrible for a while. But hopefully at the end of it, I'll have more energy, won't have the stupid "brain fog", and so on. I should feel so much better when I come out the other side.
