I slept like the dead and woke up not so rested. Last couple of days my IBD has been active off and on. Not fun. I've been avoiding social media and the news. Just need a break. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #widowed

Hopefully I'll get out with @runningbackwards.bsky.social to Irishtown park. It's beginning to have that early spring feel. Cold at night, near zero in the day. Maple syrup season! Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #widowed #winter #Canada

Couldn't fall asleep last night. Mind was racing with dark thoughts re: the death of my wife. The medical system, the gaslighting, the legal system. Lack of closure haunting. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #widowed #grief #chronicillness

Feeling better today than y'day but still not great... But HOCKEY!! It's the last day of the Olympics and the men's hockey final. I'm very proud of all our athletes, even the assholes on our men's curling rink Be a work in progress today #ibd #spoonie #widowed

What difference a day can make. I had less than 5hrs of bad sleep and woke up tired and sick feeling. Mind racing all night, dog pacing, orange cat with feral zoomies. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #widowed

Slept like the dead. I guess yesterday's gastro misery was a result of a new food and not a flare. Whew! This is why I only make small dietary changes. So I can track them. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #widowed #grief

Slept hard last night and woke up to horrible news out of Tumbler Ridge BC. I worked in the area about 12-13yrs ago, wonderful people and heartbreaking to hear. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #chronicillness #spoonie #widowed #grief

2yrs ago today my wife died after 9wks in hospital. The malpractice firm couldn't narrow it down to any 1 screw up. There were too many, and no single direct cause. It was a team effort. 'a waterfall of cascading failures'. #widowed #grief #spoonie

Floofy dog and orange cat had me awake at 4:15, and after going out in the cold I'm wide awake. Going to be a long day. Tomorrow will be 2yrs since my wife died, not in the best of places right now. Be a work in progress today #ibd #widowed #grief #spoonie

I slept horribly last night, and I think I have an ulcer. I've had them before and it feels the same, I need to call my GI today. I also need to call my PCP re: blood sugar. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #widowed #grief

I got a ton of sleep last night so that's good, but I woke up with low grade nausea. The floofy dog goes to the groomer for the unholy hour of 8am. Guh. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #widowed #grief
