Quiet day but I had bad abdominal pain all day. Last night I thought it was just rich food indigestion but the pain was there/came back in the morning and has been with me all day. Radiating to the back, associated bloating, no interest in food. A Zantac and TUMS helped enough that I had some rice cakes but now I’m in bed and the pain is back. If a weekend of babying doesn’t make it a LOT better I’m getting it checked out next week. My best guess is that I’ve gone and gotten a duodenal ulcer.
In any case it made the day hard so I went to bed at quarter past eight. When in doubt just go to bed.

Day 767
A pretty good day. No -new- crazy at least which is something.
A book I pre-ordered came out today and it’s even better than I hoped. Also saw another episode of the TV show I said I’d watch with my internet friend.
Really sad about the death of author Harlan Ellison - he meant a lot to a younger me. Before him I didn’t realize fiction could be -angry-.
Time for bed. I haven’t said it in a long time but it’s just so -nice- to always remember going to bed and never wake up dizzy and nauseated.

Day 766
Surprise! Today was a Big Family Drama day. Haven’t had one of those in a while.
I wish I had as much success with emotional eating as I’ve had with drinking. Ah well, nobody ever woke up with a three-cookie hangover.

Day 765
A good day.
Easy work day, Youngest liked her first day and I got more house-fixing-up done. Even in bed at a decent hour.
Happy Monday to all.

Day 764
Hard day. Didn’t think it would be but it was. Youngest graduating made me remember my own high school graduation and how weird it was and what a mess my birth family situation was. However in spite of my own strange emotional brew I made her a strawberry bagel to take with her to pre-graduation assembly partly because she was running late and partly to make a nice low key memory we could both keep. It was a happy coincidence I had purchased fresh strawberries during the morning shopping.
The event itself was hard because it is an outdoor venue but they have it rain or shine and it rained. Had to bring umbrella and chair and towel. And then Scylla and Charybdis, my in-laws, found me and were...well, themselves. Plus way tired from yesterday. Plus “in public.” Hard.
So I just went to bed. Not for the night as I have the lights on and door still open but just for some nice horizontal time. No energy for anything else.
I can hear Middle playing virtual reality video games with his buds online and I can hear Youngest online with her friends apparently just chatting. They are good kids. I should relax. It’s a whole new week tomorrow.

Day 763
I got so much accomplished today. It was great.
Tomorrow Youngest graduates. It will likely rain but even if it does theyveill have it at the outside venue anyway. Bring folding chair and towel and umbrella. Only if -lightning- will they move to indoor venue because only 4 people per graduate can go if indoors. Since class of 60 or 70 I think this wouldn’t be a problem but nobody asked me.
It feels good to be getting the house fixed up bit by bit.
But now sleep.

Day 762
Got my car back! Huzzah!
Just as last weekend was “finish cleaning out basement and closet” this weekend is gonna be “curtains.” Nothing fancy - whatever the local discount stores have - but I’m finally gonna cover up the ugly mini blinds in the family room and swap out the carefully draped sheet that Eldest was using before that room became ABLs and I got new light-blocking curtains for the master suite which are already up so I can see how well they block the light in the morning.
Sunday Youngest graduates high school - I’m still in total denial.
I have a drinks-appetizers thing for work on July 19 — already thinking to ask for pineapple juice and club soda. It’s at a serious enough place for there to -be- pineapple juice.
But now to bed.
