Hey...it's been a little bit since I wrote here. Things have been overall good.  The auction did well.  The final total raised was $229, with $114.50 being donated to charity.  A few people donated extra and a couple people have yet to pick up and pay but overall I'd say it was a success.  I plan to do another in August/September.
 
I'm doing okay.  Still having ongoing issues with the fissures...my doctor says she's not really concerned because I'm young....gee thanks doc.  I'll talk to my naturopathic doctor next time I see her and see if she can recommend someone I can see for a second opinion.  I've been treating continuously since October.  It's getting a bit old.  I'm also having issues still with yeast...but it's changed location somewhat...so the treatment for that continues just moved to a slightly different area.  Digestive issues are ongoing...trying to pin point which additional foods are bothering me.  Suspicious of tomato and soy and possibly corn, potatoes, and peppers.  I'm running out of food to eat.  I'm on a wait list with another specialist that can do specific testing but it will be the end of the year before I get an appointment. 
 
I really need to stop cheating with the dairy too...but chocolate is a weakness...as is my friends homemade fudge.  *sigh*  And I really want ice cream and have yet to find a good replacement.  The rice frozen treat I have just doesn't really cut it. 
 
My blood count is low again which probably explains my extreme lack of energy issues.  Blood work again in a month and a half or so to follow up on that.
 
Yesterday I met with a local employment service for people with mental health struggles.  I think it'll be good.  We're just exploring the option of volunteering right now.  My assignment for in two weeks is to come up with a list of some places I think I might be interested in volunteering.
 
Anyhow...I'm sort of exhausted and need to try to do some dishes and go to bed.  Just wanted to update a bit.
