Thrive to spite them

Next Wednesday I can finally start adding foods back from this elimination diet and I'm so glad

I swear I've been more spacy and forgetful since I've been on it. But it's probably from all the stuff I'm depriving myself. I know I went on the extreme end of this because my stomach kept hurting and I got conflicting info from different sources.

It seems to be working so I just have to figure out the problem foods. And I have an endoscopy on June 24th.

My birthday is the 16th so I'm hoping I'll at least have figured out if dairy is an issue or gluten so I can have some kind of treat to celebrate.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Woohoo, dcp!

I'm attending the SFWA Nebula Conference online this weekend, and it's serving as a sort of useful kick in the pants for making me think whether I still really want to be a writer (yes) and what I need to do to make that an active reality again (go back to treating writing as a side hustle like I used to before the Great Burnout of 2015-16, only with more self-care to prevent repeat burnout, and find a new critique group so I can share my work with people regularly because a big and needed part of my motivation is to feel like I'm telling a story TO somebody).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That’s great, dcp!

My interview on Thursday went well, but I got a bad vibe from the city. I don’t hi k I want to live or work in Muskegon. Luckily I have a lot of other applications out there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good to know that, I guess, Calli. Hope something better crops up sooner than later

Go Susan, I am rooting for you!
