Evening gang.
Presently tucked up in bed in a cottage deep in the heart of the west of the island. Junior became very manic tonight and would not settle for ages. Laughing and crying impulsively, as babies do. He eventually fell asleep with gentle parental guidance.
I hope everyone is keeping well.

I have no Facebook so I'll just be obsessively checking in here instead...
Well I'm alone in my attic bedroom. The house looks small from the outside but it's actually big enough inside. There is another bedroom across from mine. A couple rent it. I find it a bit strange that if they go anywhere - even downstairs to make a cup of tea and bring it upstairs - they lock the bedroom door before they go to the kitchen. What do they think I'm going to do exactly?

Do you live in a Tardis, Tetra?
Your room sounds nice.

sounds like all are settling in for the night -
"gentle parental guidance" - I like that
the only parental guidance I ever got was the slipper or the belt...
the moment you've all been waiting for.... drum roll
it works!

Hi Jen!! 
I was hoping I'd see you tonight! xo
The fountain looks awesome Brain! Puts my stagnant birdbaths to shame!
Another long but very productive day in the books. Fresh tomatoes and avocados for dinner....pineapple frozen fruit bar thingy for desert. Life is good!
I don't even want to know what day of rage is. Sounds ominous.
And Marty, your weekend getaway sounds divine! Can't wait to hear how awesome your speech goes Saturday!

Beautiful fountain Brain!! I love it.
so much changes in sobriety. I think this is what's happening with my friendship. Nothing bothered me when I drank...I tolerated most everything. In sobriety I am much more intolerant. I don't want anything hurtful or negative in my life. I just hope I don't go to far with it.
I had a lovely swim at lunchtime. Swam laps for 45 min. Tomorrow I'm going to the dr to discuss my terrible blood test results. My poor liver and kidneys. I hope all the abuse they took didn't do irrevocable damage.
patty melts sound so good!! I had leftovers.

On the flip side, I can tolerate stress and even multiple stressors much better. I am able to juggle quite a few stressful undertakings now with relative ease.
So, it seems that in getting sober we begin to see clearly enough to eliminate the bad and increase the good. That's what seems to be going on.
I'd say it's a good thing.

Hey all,
Got my blood results back. Liver, kidneys, cholesterol, thyroid, all perfect.
However, my iron and hemoglobin are so low she was debating whether to hospitalize me for a transfusion.
She put me on 3 iron pills a day for a month and we will check it again. We think it's due to poor nutrient absorption from the Crohn's. Anemia is common with Crohn's. But not as bad as I have it without something really bad happening.
But what a relief to have a diagnosis. I thought I just had no zoom bc I was depressed. It's amazing what the body can endure.
I feel so much better just knowing what's wrong, to start. My white blood cells are also high but she doesn't know what the infection is yet. Could be Crohn's as well since it makes my body attack itself.
Whew. Ok one mystery down, several to go, but at least there are things to try so I can feel better. And not a crappy new normal I need to figure out how to live with.
Go me. Adulting gold ribbon.
Thanks for listening, xoxo
