A day of extremes!
Today has been full of extreme surprises! It started with me not falling asleep until 7:30-ish in the morning and then waking up at 10:30-ish to the sound of my phone. It was a text from my sister who had left for work before I even fell asleep. She had news about her boss changing…

Rewrite this, Matthew.
Like, for reals, okay? Okay, okay… I’m writing an actual post now. Let’s do another update! So yesterday (aka today, in terms of when this post was supposed to be written) I took transit down to New Westminster for a simple little medical test. The test was negative, which is good in this case! However,…

It went well!
Two things for today’s post. First My MRI went well! I want expecting to be presented with two liters of chilled Peglyte (polyethylene glycol) to drink in two minutes. Let me tell you, that stuff is nasty! And it makes you need to evacuate your bowels after cramping and stuff. But it needed to happen…

I’m getting scanned tomorrow!
And now the continuing adventures of… My Life With Crohn’s! Last month my doctor ordered a few tests and scans before we change my medications. Weirdly enough, most of those tests and scans were scheduled for this week. And lucky me because tomorrow I get to be scanned! Kinda like Spock scanning for life forms…

Babies are sooooo cute!!
I got to hang out with a couple of babies today. My sister and I drove a few hours to attend a baby shower. My sister slept for most of the drive and I got to finish my audiobook of Mockingjay. Overall, the trip was quite lovely. Sidenote: Now that I’ve finished reading The Hunger…

It was fun!
I watched It tonight with a new friend at the theatre and it was amazing! Lots of scary and freaky which I love every now and again! We got the d-box seats (the seats with motors and stuff inside so you get rocked around as the movie plays—perfect for jump scares!) which added to the…

Honestly, I don’t know.
I have no clue what I’m doing right now. The past several days have been a bit rough for me. Depression is lingering which is always— Gah… I’ve rewritten this post several times already. I don’t know what to write and I don’t even know exactly what I’m feeling. After being sick for most of…

I have insomnia.
I couldn’t sleep for hours last night. Eventually I did fall asleep, but then I remained asleep longer than I wanted. Much longer. I woke up at four in the afternoon and didn’t do anything that I had intended to do which is frustrating. I’ve also been feeling… somewhat down because of Crohn’s stuff today.…

Editing the podcast.
Everyone already knows this, but I co-host a podcast with Ryan Matlock called The Aux Cable. We were ticking along releasing a new episode each week until the summer hit bringing with it illness and busy-ness for us both. So the show ended up slipping for a little more than two-ish months while we focused…

Wait…it’s Wednesday already?!
I’m stating the obvious here, but this past weekend was a long weekend, Labour Day weekend to be precise. So Tuesday felt like Monday and today felt like Tuesday. I’m sure that many others are feeling this right now. I’ve been listening to podcasts all day — primarily Anna Faris is Unqualified — and I heard an…

WDIDTW?
What did I do this weekend? Thanks for asking! It’s not really something that I can discuss at length, but… I can make an exception for you. 😜 My friend Sarah came up from the states to explore the area with me. We wanted to have one last weekend of camping and hiking before the…

I don’t like when Sarah counts sheep.
Actually, I don’t care. She can do whatever. I wrote that because she was looking over my shoulder. We’re at a campground in majestic Squamish, BC. There were only two tent pads remaining when we arrived, which made us really happy because we didn’t want to find another campground after all the searching for this…

We’re gonna camp this weekend!
It’s been a busy day, so this is just an update post. My friend Sarah is visiting so we can get some last-minute camping in before she gets busy with an apprenticeship and while the weather is nice for it. We have a list of hikes to do and places to see over the long…

Hello, Goodbye
It’s the end of August. First, congrats on still being alive! Yay for not dying even though the chances increase every day! I’m inclined to do a review of the past month, but I’d rather be more creative than that. At least I included a semi-relevant Beatles song. I get points for that, right? Note…

Homesick.
I’m feeling homesick tonight, and thusly I don’t want to write anything. Lame, I know. Have a lovely night, everyone! M3

Corn is everywhere.
My sister recommended this vegan restaurant called MeeT and tonight I got to eat there. It has amazing food! I had a dish called the “mucho something or other”… I don’t recall the actual name. I know it had something about mucho or macho, though. Itwas essentially a big fancy veggie burger; it was so…

Meeting new friends!
I’ve posted before about meeting new people here in Vancouver, but if I remember correctly, I mostly wrote about my slight fear in that area. At the time, that feeling wasn’t helped by the fact that I was super sick for weeks. Now that I’m feeling somewhat normal and have energy, that anxiety isn’t so…

Wah… It’s over…
Game of Thrones season seven is over and now the waiting game for season eight has begun. What a way to go out, though! Overall, this season has been amazing. Sure, the pacing was off and the penultimate episode seemed very unlikely, but it’s getting to the point where everything is clashing. All of the…

My website isn’t working.
Hopefully it’ll come back soon. If not, this will be uploaded in the morning. I wonder why this one website keeps giving me issues. All of my other ones are fine, which makes no sense at all. I’m feeling a tad stressed tonight. Okay, maybe more than a tad stressed. I’m trying not to be,…

Feeling normal-ish today!
Today’s been another good day, which makes me very happy! Not only did I eat a bunch of solid food without any issues, I got to (kinda) see the 86% coverage solar eclipse! A very good day again. Rebeckah had a dental appointment downtown, so we spent the entire afternoon out there doing a few…
