Interestingly, and not in a good way, my liver is doing what it did when I was in the hospital. Even though my bilirubin was much lower then, it still started going up again by the 4th and 5th day there despite (obviously) not drinking.

Last week I had repeat blood work, and same again, bilirubin had slightly increased despite 2 weeks of not drinking. Therefore the nausea and fatigue is still hanging on but I managed sushi on Friday and hopefully by Easter I'll be okay to eat a normal meal without feeling like I'm going to have it make a reappearance unless I lie down ASAP.

In other news, I'm nesting. I bought a window bird feeder that should attach to my sliding balcony doors, and for my birthday requested a glass or crystal vase for the fresh flowers I bring in from the supermarket when my little Christmas tree isn't up. The last touch will be a reed diffuser (another birthday gift request) even though my windows are mostly open spring and fall once the temperature holds. 

I'm greatly looking forward to that, and hearing the evening insects during the summer, a major reason why I torture myself hauling my groceries upstairs to the second floor since it means I can leave my windows open without worrying about being broken into. Once in a lifetime is enough for being burglarized, but it was certainly a learning experience!

I'm also trying to figure out WTF to do with money, although I've always been on the more conservative end of a stock portfolio so I haven't been hit as hard as others, but I know the Trump pain is far from over so I need to prep. When I'm finally feeling better I'll have to put that up as a priority.
