the season of utter chaos and other sundries

[rm]

Between now and Samhain:

- Cissy's bday (don't ask, we do something for it, okay)
- Kali's birthday
- at least one day of film work already booked
- Edie's birthday
- dance class
- SAG film society starts
- Amanda's visit
- Snakes Alive event
- Documentary taping
- major Jewish holidays
- My mom's birthday
- dance class
- My birthday
- Regency Ball

This may not seem like a lot to you, but for me, who starts to feel innundated if there's one thing a week going on, this is massive. September and October are always like this, but this year is much worse than usual, and largely my own fault.

I'm also already beginning to feel stress about my birthday. I feel it's important to do something, but it's on a Wednesday, which makes it complicated. And the celiac makes it complicated. Last year, I wasn't sick and it was just being on a Tuesday that sucked and Kali and I went out and she gave me the wrting utensils that started the serious madness.

Also, I really need to start saving for my tattoo. As much as I've been trying to fight this, it goes on the inside of my right forearm and I don't think I care if it hurts like the devil. It wants to be nowhere else and I am utterly unsurprised.

In other news, one of the eight billion symptoms of celiac is nerve damage. Since I was a kid I've had these random nerves in my neck that start screaming in pain for no reason sometimes, just firing randomly so badly that I can't speak and can barely seem normal while it's happening Since I was a late teen, I have spots on my ribbcage that go numb when I lie down. I always just thought I was weird, worried marginally, but never really thought about it. Now I'm like, "oooo, bet that's celiac too!" I am my own mystery novel.

I also have tow long, weird posts I'm working up to -- one about fear and one about poisoning. Ah, teasers....

I'm sure you've seen all these links, but there you go anyway.

That is a big list you've got there.

Absolutely. The issue, largely is ambience. For whatever reason most of the places that can accomodate my food issues are either really casual or have a decided middle-class sensibility, which is fine, except when I have occassions at hand.
