This has been a pajama day for me. I woke up at 3:00 and had to go to the bathroom. I have gone about 20 times today. I am worn out! Decided not to go to the gym as I couldn’t be very far from the bathroom. I am slowing down this evening so I think it was just a flare of my IBS. It usually only lasts for one day or so.
I did order some of the expensive probiotics that my gastroenterologist had recommended. I haven’t taken them for a long time but something tells me it is time to get back on them. I haven’t been eating my yogurt everyday and I need to get back doing that too. When i do both of those things it greatly reduces the number of flares I have.
I got back to sleep around 6:00 this morning and was back up at 8:00 and then back to sleep for a bit. I am exhausted this evening and hope that I can sleep all night long and wake up feeling better tomorrow.
We have a good chance to see the Northern Lights again tonight. The best time is to be between 11:00 and 4:00 am. I might go out if I am still awake and feeling OK. The air is full of smoke so not sure we will get a good view tonight. It is amazing how often they have showed up lately. Makes me wonder what is changing to make that happen.
No plans for tomorrow except to go to the gym. I will need to go to Emporia one of these days for some groceries but not sure I need anything tomorrow. I’ll see how my energy is tomorrow and will decide then.
Been giving some thought to the rally Saturday. We might have around 30 people show up. It is hard to know as people can just show up. So far 12 people have indicated they are coming via the Facebook event post and another 30 are interested. I also know about 10 others that have told me they are coming but they aren’t on Facebook.
I would like to start the rally with a short medication and help us all get above neutral to start the walk. I want this to be a walk in love and peace and not one of anger and overwhelm. Our rational part of our brain shuts off when we are in anger and overwhelm and it puts us below neutral. If the crowd is too big it will be hard to do that though. I will make a couple of plans and decide the day of which one feels right.
This has been a weird day. I don’t like days when I don’t have any energy and have to run to the bathroom so much. Trusting it is a short lived flare and tomorrow will be a better day.
Grateful for indoor plumbing, grateful for an empty space day, and grateful tomorrow is a new day.
