Today I

I awoke after sleeping fourteen hours due to having missed six hours of sleep in order to wake up early to go to do testing that is supposed to help me find a job or point me in the direction of cetifications or degrees that will serve me better in the future.

After awaking at 1 am and being unable to sleep anymore, I got up and ate. But I tried a new brand of honey from a differant store, I didn't really like the taste very much. It was strongly sweat with a lack of honey taste but astrange hint of flowers and wintergreen and a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Not really appealing on carrots and green beans.

Withing half an hour sharp stabbing pains let themselves be known.

Four hours later I was waiting for access to our bathroom, rocking back and fourth from the pain. I think perhaps I shall give this honey to somebody who doesn't have crohns disease. Ouchy.

As I get access to the bathroom the newest (five months) housemate tells me that her job is closing down soon and the nearest transfer she can get is the next state down from us. So She thinks she has to leave.

I spent the next hour alternating between being sick, trying to see what might be helpful in resolving the issues or setting things in motion for the housemate, informing the other housemate of the situation, and cooking my food for the remainder of the day.

Then I procrastinated on my computer before doing some needed things. Then when Housmate one returned in a slightly agitated state I popped in a funny movie and enjoyed a good watch. ("She's the Man" with Amanda Bynes).

Belly laughing when sick isn't helpful but it was worth the discomfort.

Then talk out a course of action for the mobing house mate. Followed by enetertaining the guest of the other housmate while he changed and prepared to go out to Kareoke.

Now I shall eat something and finish up some much needed work online before going to bed, some time after one am.

That's about the size of my day. Take care of yourselves.

Change is in the air

I'm reorganising things now. It just seemed to me that I sort of meandered off any real point with my multiple blogs and web locations.

I know I often talk a lot and it seems I'll talk about anything and everything, and perhaps thats the problem.

I'm pulling out my imaginary giant lens and applying a bit of focus.

So in that mindset I'm repurposing things a bit. I've posted a bit more on the topic on my web page rovingjack.com

You can just type that into your browser or follow it in my links over ther to the left of this post below my profile.

The important bit for this one blog is that I will be starting to use this mostly for posts about dealing with health and well being. Translate that to be more of a: What goes into a day in the life of a person with crohns disease, who is a starving artist, a bit of a nerdy geek, with struggles in survival and all the rest that make my life such a weirdly complex adventure.

I'm a bit baffled, but some folk are encouraged and deeply curious about these aspects. I suppose it can't hurt to elaborate.

One of the first things I will be talking about will either be the confrontation with exhaustion and the chaos it played with a commitment I had to run a panel at a convention. I may discuss the struggles of finding foods to replace the few I know that I could eat, now that the store I used to go to is changing the suppliers to other brand that do not work.

Sound sort of dull to me but it's a story of struggle and quest to own my life and all that means. Basically if you have similar struggles you'll feel like you are not alone, and if you don't have these problem it may surprise you to find out what it's like and make you appreciate that you don't have to do these sorts of things.

We all have things we struggle with, sometimes we just don't see the struggles others go through. But I'll share a bit of mine.

Until that next post, Take care of yourselves.
