My hamster Tina passed away on Friday the 13th. (13May2016). She just barely made it past her adoption/birthday date (10May2014). She was such a little fighter. For the past month, she had been getting progressively weaker. We tried to make her as comfortable as possible, gave her as many treats as she wanted, and made sure she took a drink from us ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've written anything. Usually I check out the previous entry and then try to cram everything in that I think are important and aren't too sensitive/private, but I didn't even do that this time. This is going to be a pure ramble, but my intention is to figure stuff out for myself. Or something? I'm not sure. That makes ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've posted a rambly post. I havent really done that anytime soon... wait a second ( Read more... )

Geeze, Livejournal is changing a lot of things. I guess they're trying not to become obsolete. Good for them, I guess. Maybe one day I should get all of my LJ entries printed off into a book in case it ever does under ( Read more... )

So I've been on my low-fodmap diet for about 5 weeks, and things have been pretty great. Most of my symptoms are gone (nausea after eating, vomiting, etc) with the occasional bouts of diarrhea. Overall, a big improvement. Paul and I have also lost quite a bit of weight. Both of my parents made a comment to me after seeing me for the Fourth of July ( Read more... )

My hamster, Heff, died. We noticed yesterday morning that his cage was closed, but not latched. We frantically looked around for him and set up some traps and went to work. After work, our traps didn’t work so we started looking for him. We found him wedged behind the dresser and the wall. The last time we remembered seeing him was on Saturday, so ( Read more... )

My tai chi class last week was.... alright. I came in and I guess I was the last person (maybe I was a tiny bit late?) because everyone had already started. I jumped right in and I had fun following her through the warm ups. I had thought that she would talk a little bit (e.g. "this is what tai chi is all about") but apparently I was the only new ( Read more... )

Tonight I am starting a new community education class; Tai Chi. I've often wanted to learn Tai Chi because it does seem very meditative and deliberate, and I like that. Right now though, I am feeling a bit anxious about going. I know I will probably have fun and that I'll like it after I've gone, but I can't use these things to trick my mind into ( Read more... )

Bleh, right now I feel pretty sick. I wish I could eat whatever, whenever, however I want without having to deal with nausea. Often times I feel like not eating anything at all. It makes me wonder if someone could have an eating disorder without realizing it. I love to eat, and I'm sure you could guess that by just looking at me, but maybe I have ( Read more... )
