  • Emerson and Ashley went to Honeybee Sage yesterday and Ashley read two poems.

    They will roll out elsewhere on social media in early June, but I am going to share them here now.

    He kicked absolute ass, and tbh I think he’s a natural performer. I think he did better than me.

  • I probably did too much today.

    But I had therapy for the first time since March  and it felt productive? My therapist suggested that I reach out to my doctor about getting an anti-anxiety med to make blood draws easier, and I just might do that.

    We also talked about my increase in energy since adding the H2 blocker to my med regimen and all the fears I have that we’re gonna crash mentally and physically in the next week or so, and he walked me through what the worst case scenario would be (I’d survive, it would just be shitty because I would have to go back to the drawing board all over again). I still can’t tell if the conclusion we reached was comforting or not.

    I’m debating whether or not I should shower tonight because it’s 2 AM, the only real towel we have in the house is disgusting, and frankly, I am getting tired. In any case, I should probably wander off.

    Stay tuned for more magic, y’all.

  • I watched the Super Mario Bros movie with Emerson today.

    It’s fucking unhinged. I absolutely loved it. Emerson wanted to watch it after watching all of the Sonic movies with me. Every scene was different but somehow worked with all the other scenes. Emerson is also a weird lil nerd that knows a lot of the deep lore about the original games, so it was lovely because it was great because I was able to ask him whatever questions I had and he knew the answers. It was so much fun 🤣

  • Emerson and I were supposed to go for a drive tonight after our very dear friend fixed our headlights,

    but we sort of lost track of time and ended up watching the rest of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (which we started last night after watching the first movie) and all of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I had no idea he liked the Sonic games. I want to get him a copy of one of them for his Switch 💛

  • I FOUND ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMFORT SHOWS FROM WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AGAIN

    Soooo yeah, I’m gonna probably be rewatching Burn Notice for the next bit when I’m not doing other things or watching Doctor Who with Emerson…

  • I went to my long expected GI super-specialist appointment yesterday.

    They’ve ordered a lot of tests, including a proper test for MCAS and an upper GI scope. The week beforehand is gonna be hell on earth but I am hoping it’ll be worth it…

  • The dual antihistamine experiment continues..

    AND I WAS ABLE TO HAVE CAFFEINE TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A YEAR WITHOUT REACTING POORLY

    I DIDN’T NEED A NAP, EITHER

    I haven’t been this happy in a long time.

  • The H1/H2 blocker experiment appears to be working well so far.

    I took both today and I was significantly less tired  this afternoon. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

  • Soooo I might have found another missing piece to my health puzzle…

    I was watching a Tawny Platis video and I heard her talk about how she had started on H1 and H2 blockers after thoroughly researching MCAS. Well, it turns out I’ve been taking an H1 blocker (loratidine) for over a year for suspected MCAS and related issues, but I didn’t think to take an H2 blocker, although that’s kind of genius. So Emerson will likely pick me up an H2 blocker once he gets paid. I will keep y’all posted.
