Last night I was trying to sleep early, like a good girl and my tummy was soo uncomfortable and sure enough, it was impossible to fall asleep and I ended up having another, quite bad IBS attack in the middle of the night. Ugh! I'm trying so hard to not set it off. I decided I shouldn't have hot chocolates before bed any more in case the dairy in the mix was what did this. It's been a bit touch n' go today as well, with me needing to take some Imodium just to settle it down and get a break.

Needless to say, I'm tired AGAIN. And this is so stupid! cat_xp I'm writing everything down to show the dietitian when I see her so we can hopefully work out what's triggering episodes. Tonight I had a garden salad bowl, as they have proven to be 'safe' so far. And a single square of chocolate. And some dry gluten free spaghetti to snack on plus a small snack size bag of cheese n onion potato chips, because chips are moreish and yummy and I couldn't resist. That's why I get them in snack size portions. Lol.

Anyway, I logged on to do Gaia daily chance cart and other stuff. But I'm not gonna stick around. I'll try working on finishing my OCs again in my notebook. Sometimes it's best to write away from a bright screen.

I hope tomorrow is better. cat_crying Flare ups like this are so frustrating. Oh and a happy note; Mackerel is curled up on the back of the couch on the soft pink star blankie and he let me pet him and scratch under his chin. Normally he tucks it in so I can't do that but he was very open to pets this evening. Special moments like this with my baby boy always melt my heart. He meowed at me reluctantly but then he stayed put for some love and he enjoyed it. He even purred when I scratched under his chin. It's good for him. It's only taken us 9 years to get to this point. From the scared, skittish rescue kitten to now. He's a sweetheart though. He looks so adorable curled up on the back of the couch right now. heart Honestly, I couldn't live alone if I didn't have these furbabies. They're my world. They help me get through sick days and tired days like this and always make me smile. That's why depression never wins. emotion_rainbow
