It’s not the morning but at least I’m writing. It would probably help if I knew what I was writing about. I’m keeping up the good dinners; last night I had sweet garlic ham steak and fried plantains. Everyone should try sweet garlic topping, it’s so easy to do. The original recipe I saw said […]

Was the most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday my first cold brew coffee of the year? It might be. I wonder if what I like about it is just how it’s made. If there were a blind taste test would I know the difference between it and regular iced coffee? Would most people? […]
Good news, I woke up this morning feeling much better. There’s always some residual discomfort after an obstruction but that’s minor. I’ve been able to eat normally today. Breakfast was scrappleeggsandcheese on pita. I put up a cold brew on Sunday when this was just starting. I kept it brewing until this morning. It tasted […]
Sorry I’ve been MIA; I’ve had Crohn’s problems since Sunday. I’ve always called it a Crohn’s attack, but my doctor doesn’t as it’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction due to damage done by old flare ups. Picture the end of my small intestine, the terminal ileum, as a mass of scar tissue. Things […]
Is this an idiot story? This morning after breakfast I started feeling the bloat of a Crohn’s attack coming on. Then it got better. Then ate way too many sweets. Now my tummy feels bloated again. Yes, that counts as an idiot story. I hope I feel up to eating dinner later. I ate breakfast […]
Good morning My Gentle Readers. I know that technically it’s not morning, it’s 7:35 PM but I woke up from a nap, so it feels like morning. Maybe the problem is that I made breakfast and had my coffee too early. I guess that’s what I should write about. I went for my infusion today. […]

My Nose
Another day that got away from me. I have something of an excuse. I woke up several times in the night. Once I woke up shivering. I had kicked off my covers, but it wasn’t cold enough for me to shiver. My brain was telling my body to raise its internal temperature. I get that […]
Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. This month’s guests were Damn Tall Buildings, South for Winter, and Jared Feinman. In the morning I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist who is my de facto primary care physician. I last saw her in […]

On a Late Winter’s Night
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday; I had a mild Crohn’s attack. I need to discuss the language with my doctor. I didn’t have a flareup, food just got stuck in the scarring in my small intestine from previous flareups. I had to go out yesterday as I had a 1 PM appointment to reapply for […]
