🦋April Escapades 🦋

Almost unbelievable that April arrived and vanished once more!  My April accounts, as they came about: Happy April! I like the idea of today being the true “new year”. My hope of “my body catching up to my brain” in terms of creativity is coming to pass, I feel. 4-5months on intense alternative therapies + recent increase in thyroid med + ditching a diuretic = a cherished bit of creative energy & plans to refine my artworks. I’m overjoyed to have found a way to do adaptive balle

March Makes!

So happy to be in March! 💐Little Mush Oogoo figurine I sculpted for my cake topper. I being out of Oogoo practice, mixed it too dry so had some cracks. I covered the whole figurine with caulk to fill them, &then acrylic painted and sprayed her with fixative. #littlestpetshop inspired face. #oogoo #figurine #sculpting #caketopper https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjHP-uEej-/?igsh=enFsYzl1cDlhaWIy art      https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjHtBQERhY/?img_index=8&igsh=

A current, chronological chapter (hope to keep it up this time, I'm writing these blogsnippets in google docs as I upload to IG) Just happy to be here! ❤️ Onto the antics and art: Forgot to post- December. "Thumbellina" mini canvas's acrylic painting for my mom, stashed for upcoming 2026 holidays.

Nov '25: Time flies! To surgery, a B-day Bash & Grove Gingerbreads!

November neared fast in 2025!

2025, September. Sweet & Sour. Beach, Blessings & Battles.

Swinging into September. Or slipping, in my scenario. Started with the first medical visit in ~11months. Not evasion because I was well, but because I was scared of the scarce care quality of past providers.  This entry explains the excitement...   ...and this one shows the aesthetics 📸 ..And a sweet fairbear, 🧸 haha! September starts. Just A cotton upcycled comfy dress for mom. Trying to get well enough to sew here.   https://www.instagram.com/p/DTINoMQEQQL/?img_index=5&i

June 2025: Woodland World and Wildflowers

Jumping into June 2025! The month that marked a year since surviving the jarring GI bleed. My came to realize in June my health was worsening, and this month most of my accomplishments were nothing besides the cleaning and cooking (and "prepping" aka discount storage food gathering and storing). So these flower photos were kind of fillers. 🙈💐   https://www.instagram.com/p/DNN0NLDNuay/?igsh=MXE5ZGx0eHlhcDVmMA== https://www.instagram.com/p/DNN0UGBtuXL/?igsh=eHA5OHZsZnU1Njli https:

'24 1/2: December Dawns, Antiqued Arts, Pantry Present!

A look back on December 2024. But first, a bitty update. So my endocrinologist labs keep rolling through, and to my horror, my chromogranin A has risen about ~23% in a mere 3 months. Now it's officially in the yellow zone. This is like the 5-7th positive NET tumor test of late. I'm very upset that the alternative therapies haven't lowered my numbers, but perhaps this is a good thing. Maybe they can find the tumor(s?) soon, maybe I won't be doomed to suffer and starve myself with carcinoid+ Cushi

2024: November Blur!

Now onto Nov, and to dig out the photos from my trove... And for a present-day update continuation: My CMP labs just came back looking better than ever, my AST/ALT elevations are perfect! MY LIVER LIVES!!! My hrs a day of alternate therapy, supplements (minus iodine as I stopped that) + strict diet are tangibly helping!  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJe8JbfuywC/?img_index=12&igsh=ZWhrN3BsaXFxdmcz   https://www.instagram.com/p/DJe9BfKS66W/?igsh=eDAweW8yZzdtNTR0 https:/

September Celebrations and Storms

A September to remember! 2024. Sweet and sour, special and scary, fun and frightening, a month ended with Hurricane Helene. So grateful we got two weeks warning.  A very backlog blog but a bit of a present day update. Saw endocrine again today, first time since the multiple carcinoid & Cushing's' disease labs came back positive.  So he was VERY concerned over my x2 over the ref range urine cortisol. He said typically he doesn't see any elevations in that in his confirmed Cushing's patie
