Week 903
Day 6315 - 10/15 - Still odd tracking
Today there is still odd tracking with my tummy issues. My tummy has felt a little off most of the day, and while I did have a donut it's now way past when that normally affects me. So it may be indeed a separate second sensitivity to the lunchmeat I had. I'm still not sure if that's a thing or not. It may also be a growing sensitivity to the citrus flavors in my drinks. That will be my next test in a week. I've only just finished my dessert cake last night, so if there are lingering cake effects that should dissipate in the next few days.
I guess today was pretty ok. It passed too quickly. I didn't do as much as I'd hoped with my pen and paper hobby stuff, but I did important things, so I guess that is good. Sadly my first two are barely getting 1 download for every other day now, so I continue to wonder if more than a very small few actually care. 
Day 6316 - 10/16 - Rice was better-ish
Today I had a chicken with rice soup. It seemed better than noodles (or vegetable soup with letters.) Checking online that should be gluten free, so the theory still holds that may be what's causing issues. I messaged my doc because celiac disease apparently has a lot of similar symptoms and can be checked by a blood test, so I asked if any of my previous tests could be used to check that. I also have been curious about my blood type, as a not super official test in high school indicated I may be the rarest donor type, so I've been meaning to find out for sure.
Today was pretty good, I guess. I did less pen and paper stuff than I expected due to doing art stuff, which always takes hours on its own. It's ok though, as I do have certain art I'd like done at a minimum for the 1.0 release.
That's really it for today. Nothing super special. Just more baby steps forward-ish I suppose. And I made it through ok emotionally, so that is always something.
Day 6317 - 10/17 - Kind of confirmation
Today I asked some people on a social page if my numbers seemed right in terms of things upsetting my tummy. One person who has gluten intolerance responded they seemed right. I guess bread has way more wheat than the other stuff, which is where the gluten is, so that is why it has a much greater effect. It may also explain why in the last year pizza has seemed much less nice to my tummy, and maybe even things like chicken strips depending on the breading used for it.
I did about 4 hours with my pen and paper stuff before I realized how late it was getting. I think what I did turned out pretty good, so that feels like nice progress.
I didn't get to play much, but today felt pretty good, especially since my upset tummy is continuing to feel better.
Day 6318 - 10/18 - Bad start
Today had a bad start, made worse by not going with my first instinct. When it was time for the library to open they said they had no power and weren't letting anyone in, and had no estimate on when it may come back from the power company. Not wanting to lose my day I pondered if I should stay for a bit and wait and see or just go to the other library close by. I went with my second thought and went to the other. It was dead there, creepily dead, an uncomfortable dead. I was very glad I had my laptop lock because I didn't feel safe. It felt eerie and weird. Just after noon I decided to call the regular library and they indeed had opened. I asked the librarian when I got there what time the power came back and he said 15-20 minutes after they should have opened. I lost hours at the bad library, not counting 30 minutes travel time to get there and come back, because I didn't follow my first instinct to stay. Where if I had, I'd have lost just 15 or so minutes.
Even after getting back to the regular library, and getting into my regular spot after having to wait a couple hours for people to leave it, I didn't feel creative. And even watching shows felt a little less joyful than usual.
They had been doing construction in part of the library for like 2 months too on an 'aquarium experience.' It was for kids, but I thought it might be cute and fun to check out. It did make me smile, but really it was just a thing to climb through, a thing to explore, and a thing with buttons. Mostly it was just a couple of kid sensory things and a 'find the fish' challenge. So that felt a bit disappointing that it wasn't more fun for me, but I guess it wasn't supposed to be.
I guess I survived the day though. And tomorrow will be a new day, with its own new start, so hopefully I will have a better day then.
Day 6319 - 10/19 - Slow brain
Today my brain is pretty slow. I guess part of that is recovering from yesterday, and part is knowing after I type this in I really won't have much time for anything else.
My bad day yesterday ended even worse than I'd talked about. I was checking something in my 'shower kit' and my finger tip got super badly cut by my razor. Much ouch and lots of blood. It seems ok now, but the feeling is wonky where it was hurt. Probably the nerves haven't lined up like they were before the cut, so that's giving confusing input, or it is because the cut severed them and there is a kind of numb feeling in parts. Hopefully it will heal ok.
I feel pretty ok, but sleepy, and mentally slow. I'm super sneezy for some reason though.
Day 6320 - 10/20 - Hopefully normal Monday
Today I don't expect anything special. Hopefully I can have a regular day and get a lot done with my pen and paper things I'm working on. It doesn't have as much stuff as the others, so hopefully it will be finished quickly. Though it's not spooky, it would be great to have it to 1.0 done by Halloween.
Day 6321 - 10/21 - Hopefully regular Tuesday
Today hopefully will be a regular day. I can't think of anything special happening, so hopefully I can do the things I want and feel ok emotionally.
