So yesterday I as going about my daily life, when I had a horrible horrible pain in my stomach. A long long time ago, when I was 17, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome after having similar horrendous pains. I watched my diet now, and generally had only mild problems. This week I'd been particularly good, and not consumed any soda whatsoever... so I'm a little perplexed as to why the pains came. They're both good and bad... bad, obviously, because THEY HURT. Good, however, because I feel so supported by the community at my apartment. Two friends asked if I needed any help, and one offered to stay with me, let me stay with her, and even do my laundry if I couldn't. Very very awesome.
Another good thing is that this has slowed me down, and helped me to focus a little more on my craft business. Believe it or not, right now my crafts are not the main part of my business - alterations are. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep them up... right now I'm spending a lot of time for a little money... but I am hoping that by the time school starts and my time is much more scarce, I will be able to do the alterations much more quickly. For now, I'm enjoying the process of learning and earning some $ in the process.
AND, the coolest thing, is that I've been asked to MAKE a shirt... something I really want to do anyway. Now, before I make one for the client, I will make one for myself in a different fabric. I can show her what MY almost-original design will actually look like in real life, so she knows what she is buying, and I will be able to tell her with confidence that I CAN make the shirt.
All in all, life is good right now.
Except for the pain. LOL

You can make the shirt Jana! You are a creative genius. I have no doubt you will be able to do it.
And I feel your pain. I have the same issue and take a psyllium seed supplement with tons of water to help prevent those kinds of pains as well as staying away from all things fizzy. I am glad you have support and friends to help you out.
