my liver function was too high, so i am not getting drugs this week. this was a kind of a let down. (i am drinking a detox tea to help my liver get ready for its test on monday)
the unexpected silver lining is that i get to feel normal again for the week.
i have an appetite, some energy, and my sense of humor back.
up to this point, i have had absolutely zero appetite, been sleeping 14-16hrs a day, and yawning constantly. and kind of emotionally ‘flat.’ not that much pizzaz, shall we say. (which is to say, dull and emotionless…)
i started to feel it on tuesday, but it took until wednesday for my appetite to really come back. around dinnertime i told my mom that i wanted to go out for dinner. like, i wanted to go out somewhere nice, joking that i only had another five days of enjoying food, before the drugs started again. she laughed and asked where, and I mentioned this one restaurant Higgins that I had never been to. turns out they had a gift certificate that had been sitting around for a year, and she made reservations.
i also went for a bike ride with my dad. just three miles around the fairmount loop.
and i drove the car over to my friend KT’s studio. first car driving this trip, which is the same as saying first car driving since last thanksgiving (9 months?). At thanksgiving I scraped the front end of my dad’s car in a parking garage.
isn’t eating real food great after not having any urge to want it for so long? I think that has to be one of the better things about getting off of medications/illness etc. Suddenly everything taste so much better.
I hope you are doing something fun for the 4th. Nica has hot spots all over her ass so I spent the majority of my day spraying her with fungal spray (not sure if that will make you feel better about your 4th or not.. ) I guess I should of made an instructionable.
studio is so quiet these days, you’re not missing much– when you left, I think everyone left in a way.
