I have been feeling more unwell than usual for several reasons, but I'm thankful COVID hasn't been one of them. Things have gotten out of hand here, with full hospitals and people dying in the waiting rooms. My brother and I know people who've died, in fact, two of his friends died in the same week. We've both lost a lot of loved ones this year.
Our aunt died a couple of months ago. I don't know if I mentioned it. So we lost an aunt and an uncle this year.
I'm not ready to talk about the Bob Ross documentary yet. It's painful. I'll eventually speak on the matter.
Thanks to my amazing friends, I pursued whole genome testing, and I have confirmation of Periodic Paralysis with Long QT, Familial Episodic Pain Syndrome, and a very long list of other conditions. I will eventually share all of that here. It is going to take a long time to comb through that amount of data. I'm already posting info on Facebook, if you happen to be on there and interested. I wish I could tell my former doctors in Jackson about this, but they've moved on, and I must do the same. I will see my primary physician next month. He has no idea the amount of info he'll be bombarded with, poor man.
I've started painting vases and candle holders during times that I am feeling strong enough. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to selling and gifting a few of them during the holidays. I'll share photos here soon, but the pics are already on most of my social media accounts.
I am having bad episodes. I'm trying to figure out what to do about it, including alter my diet again while somehow maintain my other conditions. This is so hard. I'm tired.
A while back, a car hit mine (the one I drive, I don't own it) and kept right on going. No way to get their info in a sea of other vehicles on a busy boulevard, so their hit and run was a success. I'm fine, and so is the car. It will receive some TLC next month, when I have some money.
I have absolutely no money this month. I had to pay off a bill, so I'm sitting at home on the couch for the next 12 days. Thankfully, I do have groceries. Fuel, not so much.
I'm still involved in all things Pokemon, and don't plan to stop most of it. I won't play the card game in person ever again, I don't think, so I'll eventually find a new home for those cards. But otherwise, I'm still involved with several games and the anime. I'm surprised I haven't blogged about it this year, but Twitter is simply a faster outlet for such things. I reopened my Tumblr and Pinterest as well. All of the above are @ ugottafriend.
Someday, I'll reopen the medical blog. I just don't feel like dealing with it right now, but I know I need to continue bringing awareness, especially now that I have genetics to back me up.
My bro adopted a new Chihuahua, and she is the biggest diva. Ha! We call her the Queen, and refer to her as Your Majesty. Spoiled so rotten, it's not even funny. She's a really sweet dog, and absolutely deserves it. Her real name is Gypsy, given to her by the rescue org she came from. I'm allergic, but I try to be a good auntie. She adores me, and sometimes prefers me, so I do my best when I visit.
I still live in my apartment, alone. Other than the disruptions that occur sometimes, it's acceptable. My next door neighbor almost died from COVID. She was in the hospital over a month, and came home on oxygen and a walker. She's the one whose husband died less than a year ago, so she's really been through hell since she moved in here.
Hopefully, life will improve for us all again someday.
Be safe everyone.
