Ugh! I am tired and sore from going to the doctor and STRESSED not knowing for sure if this med I NEED TO FUNCTION will be taken away for NO GOOD REASON. So this may not very coherent.
( Annoyance about stomach meds and government bureaucracy )

Not much, really, but it's been a while.

Writscrib died. I don't have great hopes for Pillowfort, either.

I bought a juicer! It's a bit of a hassle to clean considering the juice doesn't keep long, but watching it go WHIZZ is fun and Cam and I were both pretty happy with the results from a bag of Coles juicing apples. I have two apparently unrelated intestinal conditions(*) that mean I can't digest most raw fruit and vegetable fibre and have to go on a clear fluid diet once a year, so being able to drink fresh (and thus more nutritious) juice whenever I like is pretty appealing.

I signed up for remixrevival's Madness, right now I'm focused on my main assignment but intend to poke about later for fun stuff to illustrate/riff on. Anyone can sign up and remix other people's works/offer to be remixed.

The latest manifestation of my continuing Hakuoki obsession is a monster Chizuru/Saito/Okita WIP currently up to 31K words, which is longer than anything else I've written except Wedding is Destiny. And that took me 8 years, while I've been writing this for a couple of weeks? Turns out I have a lot of feelings about chronic illness and polyamory and gender (and vampire samurai)

Speaking of which: moonvoice finished their radiotherapy, and while it was pretty awful it's over and they're still around so that's great :) Also Cam and I decided we can't be bothered being so careful about mentioning that we're poly on social media disconnected from the more conservative people in our lives. So, I have been dating moonvoice for about 8 months now and they are wonderful and amazing.

....hmm. While chucking a bunch of random things in the juicer was fun my stomach is a bit "Did I really have to digest 3 pears an apple and some celery sticks all at once??" YES STOMACH YOU DID STOP WHINING.

(*)Irritable bowel syndrome and polyposis, since I know I'm always curious when people make these sorts of vague comments.

Never sure how much detail to go into about such an inherently gross thing outside my medical filter but wanted to mention it and am too lazy to make two posts.

So! I had a colonoscopy yesterday and it went fine. Am still waiting on the results of biopsies but they didn't seem concerned.
( more, possibly somewhat gross/needle related details )

Have been enjoying ALL THE FOOD today, mmmm. I feel a bit physically weak but otherwise pretty good! And if you follow me on multiple social media: yes, I did have a bunch of posts I wanted to make but was waiting until after the colonoscopy was over to do :)
