Couch 193: The Aurora Borealis Couch

I need to Google detoxing from meat. I haven't eaten meat for like 3 days and I'm noticing I feel all sluggish, and like I can't pay attention at work I wonder if that's related.

I'm the only one in the office. It's creepy.

i overslept today after waking in a panic a few times again. it is physically painful to think about T so i try not to, which will probably make the whole thing worse.

when i worked as a phlebotomist i sometimes did the icu run which was very early andit was spooky walking throught he lab with all the machinery humming.

i should stop moping on the bed. i did get up and mow half my yard yesterday. now its cooling off i can do more. I also started weeding around the house. I forgot how relaxing weeding was but it is really hard on my back and legs.

Im sure it wasnt all that cheese yesterday! Sorry, im s/pouting because i had some cheddar last week and it just showed up as tiny little whiteheads on the corner of my mouth. Grrr. I want a chile relleno, thats what your dinner reminded me of yesterday.

I didn't think of that.or I'm just in denial cuz it was so delish. Might could be.

I asked my cheating student about the witnesses who saw him cheating. I got an overtheatrical denial: “I am shocked!!!!” Multiple exclamation points do not help his cause.

Cows are sneakier than ts, imo.

Well, pooh! Bad news again. We weren't actually approved yet for insurance. We just qualified. It will take 45 days to be approved. By then the house should be sold, it will count as income, and then we won't qualify.

They don't help anything.

Yes they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it had to be done.

this lab is hard

Oh good god. They don’t help and I got a visual reading it.

I’m glad the GF lifestyle is having a positive impact.

It was better to find that out now because when you sold the house they may have come after you for the money.

I one time didn’t count a large sale as income. I honestly messed up that year and ended up having to pay insurance back $8,000. That was bad. Real bad. It took me a long time.

Why not??!! They work for me!!!!!

I need to find a way to relieve the tension I feel. My back and neck hurts.
And I’m pretty sure during the little bit I am sleeping that I’m grinding my teeth really bad. My mouth is all sore and my teeth are killing me. I think I’ll run to the corner pharmacy and grab a mouth guard.

Selling the family home should not count as income. Worth checking.

DP: What Netflix series did you watch?

ATAT: So glad going GF has been so beneficial so far.

In most states here, traditional Medicaid qualification is based upon both income and assets. That means bank accounts, investments, house, car, etc. Some states have Medicaid expansion programs as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act but based on the federal funds of that program, and qualification is purely income based, and assets don't count.

now it seems like everyone cant be bothered with me. i rang an art supply store and someone wandered off to see if they had what i asked for and didnt come back. when i rang again and asked they said they didnt have it inasked if they could get it in for me as it was on the manufacturers website and they said no. i know this is all to do with my ex-T but it hard not to be affected by it. i just dont know what to do.

I know close to nothing about celiac. Do you just wake up one day and now you have it? Does it develop over time, and do they know what causes it to develop? Or is it more like you had it all along, but the symptoms were sub-clinical and now they're not?

These are all questions I would have asked the GI doc had I not been a piece of meat on an assembly to him.

I had no GI symptoms before this spring and the neuropathy started almost 3 years ago. My sister only ever had GI symptoms, and it came on suddenly after she ate seitan loaf. I wouldn’t have gone for any testing if my liver enzymes had been at normal levels.

All I know from googling is it can be dormant and then triggered by something like another illness, surgery, childbirth, or extreme stress.

Um...yeah. Yes. Yes, that’s right. Absolutely.
