Zen, that sounds very promising. Yay, Zen's doctor!
I have achieved lentil soup in the crock pot! I was supposed to make it yesterday, but ltc was a crank monster who wouldn't be put down for any reason. But today is better anyway because it means I can pick up the new Patricia Briggs from the library when TCG gets home from work, and magically dinner will be ready when I get home.

I've started doing yoga, for certain definitions of "yoga". Have I mentioned it here? It's 45 minutes of gentle poses and half an hour of finding new ways to lie comfortably while a kind person covers me with a blanket. It's very soothing.

In my continuing saga of trying to find a rheumatologist, UC Rheumatology doesn't take new patients with EDS anymore. So, I got a recommendation for a doctor at yet another practice who I can try calling.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, I'm sending some good-doctor luck at you!
But of course, as much as I've wanted to find EXACTLY this, a holistic practice with actual doctors that wasn't all woo-woo align your chakras today!, as soon as the nurse jumped up and dashed off to bring me a brochure about some mindfulness seminar run by a GODDESS AMONG WOMEN, I was like, Oh FFS I don't want to do one more g-d guided meditative journey to find my center and seriously stfu with the ding-dong music just give me a damn PILL
