I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it’s nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won’t have surgery for them, which is good. He also gave me more nausea medicine for the daily vomiting. It is a big help usually.
The doctor also gave me a talking to about watching my health now. He was pleased that I don’t drink or smoke, but not so much about my weight or lack of cardio. So now I am back on a diet. Additionally, I’ll start using my dance apps to work out harder and more often. My husband might get us a rowing machine too, so we can both work out at home.
Tomorrow I see my psychiatrist. I have no idea how to describe the past weeks. Especially this past week. I had a brief period of mania. I am coming down now. I’m ok. But I had a massive swing recently.
I ordered a nice clear makeup organizer to sort my pastels into the 11 basic colors (I know Russian, Hebrew, and Italian have 12 colors because they count light blue and dark blue as separate colors). It took a while because some colors were hard to categorize, and there were over 300 of them.
I got this book as well. Going through the color palettes is so enjoyable. I buy every book on color that I can find. I have everything from Alexander Theroux’s wonderful essays on color in two volumes called The Primary Colors and The Secondary Colors, respectively, to Pantone books, and others. I need more, if anyone can recommend one I don’t have. I’m sure there’s more out there.
I am taking notes again to do a type of digital commonplace book to record what I learn and remember it. I use a note app that lets you choose any color for your note, of course! I’ve also revamped my mind atlas project on Evernote. I love the way Evernote makes it so easy to clip and organize a variety of media.
