Rebooting here because I've a feeling Facebook is gonna go down in flames.

The problem with being a foodie isn't the danger of eating too much, it's the danger of getting left behind when the next big thing hits, and you've not finished your platter of the current big thing.

I'm over here now: https://donwaughesq.dreamwidth.org/

If you've ever cracked/broken a rib, you know how much fun it is.

Realistically, there's nothing they can do for you, save give you some painkillers. Sure, if you break enough of them in one go, they'll tape you up, but that's to keep them together so that they can heal in a semi-straight manner. It's not like they immobilize them.

Sneezing, coughing, laughing...these all become efforts of pain. And don't even get me started on hiccups. Or...shudder...vomiting.

I have a colonoscopy that they're trying to get me in for before the end of the year, but I don't think it's a good idea to put me under with this going on. Yet at the same time, I just want this all over. Bad enough I may have to get the transplant in 2017, but stupid stuff like this is just that...stupid.

Razzing frazzing osteoporosis and colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis, oh my.

Not really a rant, more like a stream of consciousness, eh?

Just got back from Home Depot, picked up some cilantro and rosemary seeds and a planter. I figure I can try growing stuff again here in Georgia, since Texas was just this side of Hell, and nothing I grew stayed alive. Figure I can do this as a hobby now.

Granted, we've been hitting the Gold's Gym here, but it's not a typical Gold's. There's no Juicer Culture or Aerobic Trophy Wives. It's normal people. Sure, some are in better health than others, but it doesn't feel like that atmosphere, ya know? I truly think that going there has helped with my health. We'll find out when I do my labs on Friday.

Not much else going on until next Wednesday: iVardensphere with Cyanotic and Iszoloscope will be playing here, and then they're hitting Tampa the following night. Hope those of you who are planning to see them enjoy yourselves. I hear this is going to be a helluva show.

Yes. Yes. Let the hate flow through you.

I'm totally overwhelmed by the support everyone's been giving so far.

TOTALLY.

I know I was overwhelmed back in 2010 by the support, but this is a bit insane the second time around.

Kinda restores my faith in humanity, as long as don't have to interact with the general public in public.

I did all the chores. I did the laundry. I did the dishes.

Why can't I sit and relax for a bit?

Instead, I'm all jumpy, like I'm fully expecting to get yelled at for forgetting something.

This is why I write stuff down. But my To-Do List is empty. Really Empty.

And yet, jumpy.

Some days, you just need synthwave.

Melodic 80s synth tracks, invoking neon and cruising and stolen kisses.

Fair warning: 2016 will be the year of the many much outdoorsy hiking/camping posts.
