Morning all at the start of a sunny weekend in L.A. Wasted on me in many ways but definitely lifts my spirits. I can still get away with t-shirts and shorts but I do need secret (bamboo apparently) socks to protect my feet. Talking of socks, it seemed like a capital idea to come over all Marie Kondo on a sock drawer just before 5.30 a.m. Yesterday went well for the long term big problem, thanks be to God. My pilgrimage has entered a new land, I have left the land of checkpoint inhibitors - Avelumab immunotherapy - with a defunct thyroid system and an autoimmune attack on my dermatological system. In the desert for forty years the Israelites' shoes and clothing fared so much better - some here do like VFM. Traversing the land where dwelt the Bullous Pemphigoid I slightly "whored after strange gods"/definitely wanted more than Manna (no quail, not even Dan), at times: too much peanut butter, daily grenade bars and too many days over 30 gms carb. Unlike Korah my complaints don’t seem to have been seen as a direct challenge to God in the same way. I’m now in a new land where a few makers need work, in my opinion anyhow, as they are not perfectly in the green on the CUH scale. After praising God and enjoying yesterday I have work to do. The Prednisolone, Doxyxycline, Pemphigoid, sub-optimal exercise and self-medicating the stress at peak chaos have had an impact. T2 doesn’t go away completely and I haven’t been through eight, at times horrible, years from eating this bizarre way just to roll over and accept the situation. Time to recalibrate, bend the ears of the medics and do better. I clearly won’t have the bloods profile of a top athlete or even peak me but I’m not just rolling over and letting a rubbish situation dump on me. This is the new land on my Pilgrimage, something of an Olympian's journey to my own imaginary podium. Enjoy your Saturday and your own Olympian’s journey whatever that may look like be it making and sharing a creative, wildlife care, taking a walk, baking, dealing with pain or loss, going to footie, caring for loved ones, woodwork or whatever. Peace be with you all,
