I had my appointment with the GI doctor. No answers, obviously, he seemed perplexed. But he ordered more tests a plain X-ray and an endoscopy and he prescribed some kind of medicine that should help with stomach cramps... Or muscle to contractions or something.
And he advised I try a FODMAP diet. The nurse who have me the actual info suggested I pick one or two categories to eliminate first instead of all of them. I was reading over the list of foods to avoid and M was like "that's most of what we eat!".
Right now we are at the comic book store and after this we are going to the used bookstore so a pretty good day off. Except for the stomach discomfort.
And for whatever reason Scrappy the cat has been super affectionate lately so I've gotten plenty of kitty snuggles and pettings. Penny has been less cuddly and wanting attention, but she gets like that. And Bingo the dog has been renamed Mongo and he is ok. Except M's mom isn't great about letting him out when he barks (he needs to relieve himself) nor is she great about changing the puppy pads immediately. As much as Mongo is a good boy he really needs a better home.
This debate I have with myself every Tuesday as to whether it will be easier to bring all my stuff home and WFH tomorrow or leave my stuff here and come into the office is harder to resolve than it should be
Thanks for the reassurance, Epic!

Scrappy knows you aren't feeling well. When I am sick, Scully is all over me.
Today is a very special Buffista birthday. Happy birthday to Gudanov! I hope you have a delightful day filled with treats and love. We appreciate you so much here, and I hope that this year will rank up there with the very best.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Gud!
Many happy returns of the day, Gud!
Happy birthday, Gud! I'm doing a couch flip in your honor.
No wait, I mean I'll get off the couch at some point in your honor.
Grey morning in SF, but I have a relatively uncomplicated day with good socializing ahead.
My TV issues resolved themselves while I was gone (I couldn't get any of my streaming services except Netflix), so I immediately popped over to HBO and watched the first half of the Paul Reubens /Pee Wee Herman documentary.
It was so good - particularly loved seeing all the footage of him at CalArts where he was very androgynous (early 70s) and beautiful and doing a lot of drag.
His classmates at the time included David Hasselhoff and Katey Segal.
Very sad and moving to see him with his longtime boyfriend who later died of AIDS, and talking about how he had been very out, but went back in the closet when he created Pee Wee.
Happy birthday, Gud!!
It’s pouring here and looks like it will keep raining for the rest of time?
