Today was a bad day…
Today was not a good day. It ended well with Thanksgiving dinner at the nerd cafe though, which is good. But everything before that was horrible. Basically my body and my mind aren’t doing well and it’s negatively affecting my daily life. Today it got really, really bad. Now I’m going to sleep. M3

Why I can’t sleep.
I haven’t been able to get to sleep very easily these past few weeks. [I can’t write tonight. I’ll finish in the morning.]

People aren’t just one thing…we’re complex.
Question. How much of planet Earth can anyone see at once? Practically speaking… very little. But even if you were standing on our moon (why are you doing that?) you would only be able to see 49% of Earth’s surface. Does this mean that only less than half of the Earth exists? If you were […]

I’m becoming a coffee person!
I’ve never been one for coffee. I’ve never even wanted to drink coffee, but over the summer that’s changed. I started drinking iced coffee every once in a while. And while I still don’t like straight coffee, the bitter taste of coffee in general has become more palatable in frappes and such. Never did I […]

Thanksgiving is coming up!
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend (in Canada)! I’m going to be here in Vancouver by myself for the holiday, but that’s alrighty with me. And when I say “by myself”, I’m talking about with my immediate family. Everyone else is going to be up in Grande Prairie. While I won’t be seeing family, I will […]

Top three goals for October!
October is here and the first day has already come to a close. Let’s set some goals! 1. Exercise and eat more regularly. I’ve been struggling to eat enough food over the past few weeks. That’s not great. I also haven’t been doing enough meaningful movement for my body, which is important because I’m still […]

Oh man… I just napped for over two hours!
I totally didn’t mean to nap, but I feel great after it! Now I’m gonna grab some food, watch an episode of Community or two, then head to bed. Today’s been a good day! I wasn’t expecting to work at all, but overall things worked out well. September is Over! Can you even believe it? […]

MILK + MAPLE SYRUP
Dude. So last night I was thirsty, right? I wanted something a little more than water. Looking through the fridge, I spotted our carton of milk. After thinking for a moment, I pulled it out revealing the bottle of maple syrup. For some reason I thought the two should be introduced to each other. I […]

Is this working?
The main purpose of this blog is to get me writing every day. That has happened and will continue to happen! However, I feel like the actual content about which I write is lacking. My thought about that probably is influenced by my lack of sleep this week. Anyway… today marked the one-year anniversary of […]

Best day in a long time!
Today has been the best day in a long time. Weirdly, I only got three hours of sleep last night, but I still was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and the drive to actually complete tasks. It’s great! M3

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 […]

It’s finally begun.
A new iteration of Star Trek for television was announced back in the fall of 2015. Two years later we are watching the premiere of that series which is titled Star Trek: Discovery. The series is set ten years before the original series of Star Trek during the Klingon war with the Federation, an event […]

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 […]

What’s the deal with PB&J??
Peanut butter and jam. Incredibly delicious together, right? But why? Why do those two flavours meld together so delightfully? You’ve got a slightly salty, ooey gooey paste that coats your mouth next to a chilly, gelatinous substance that is usually fruity or berry-y and they both share a space between two slices of amazing bread. […]

I don’t wanna write.
But I’ll do it anyway. Or at least something that resembles writing. I’m very tired and I have a week of medical testing coming up. Yays. I’m actually kinda looking forward to some of it, which is weird. Not the needles, though. I’m not afraid of needles, just not fond of them. The uncomfortable feeling […]
