So I had a meeting with the super GI Dr. after reviewing my case and history he feels I have stress related to infant abandonment syndrome (I was premature and put in an incubator for the first week.) This apparently makes me more likely to be effected by stress. 

When my stomach issues started I was working for a county program called Re:Art, it was a great job, but it was to be shut down and I was not allowed to tell anyone about it for more than a year. This meant I had to lie to my friends and members as to how work was going, or the condition of the program. At the same time my longtime residence and studio was sold and the conditions changed with the new owners leading to my eventual moving out. During this time I was preparing to become mobile, condensing my belongings and getting rid of possessions, furniture and art. It was a very stressful time in my life, but I was also eating a lot of soy and other veggie proteins. I just wrote my stomach issues off as gas from my funky diet. Apparently I was wrong, now I find myself in a vicious cycle of not eating, not having the energy to work, so I cannot afford food and so on. 

 I am going to Columbus for a while, to regain my strength and health. Staying with my parents, working some with my father doing handy-man stuff. Eat, sleep, do some yoga, work on my opera and rest. And hang out with friends in that area. The plan is to return early next week, and stay for a month or so. 

Sorry for the short notice, but a good travel opportunity has presented its self. I should be in Denver this weekend, if anyone around there is free.

I was able to replace the engine and gearbox on my motorcycle. The carburetors need to be rebuilt, but otherwise it seems like a motorcycle again. That pleases me, I was able to replace it (this is the bikes 4th powerplant in 8 years)and get it running, it was having issues with that carb before, but since the transmission was going I forgot. I wont be able to ride for a while, but that’s ok, it will still be here when I return.  So will the rest of my stuff, and life, I just need to get back on my feet so I can make some art happen!
