December 24th – Treatment Day 18

Posted on 2025-12-242025-12-24 By Q No Comments on December 24th – Treatment Day 18

Last night the Instacart guy came back in the evening and gave me the mushrooms. I had requested a refund and then tried to pay him the money but he had said that it was his mistake and would not take the money. I appreciate the accountability and the fact that he came back with it. I gave him an extra tip afterwards on the app as well. The mushroom saga has been resolved with a happy ending now. Now I need to find a new worst thing that happened in 2025. I suspect it will happen today with Mel and the coffee maker. She will not think that it is aesthetically pleasing and fit the space properly. I think that she is not considering the fact that we can operate a home coffee takeout business with the machine. It will pay for itself within thousands of days.

I think I have my eating all dialled in now. The ideal weight of food per serving is 35grams or 1/4th of a cup. Whichever is less. Some food are light, so it is the volume, while some food are dense. I can go upwards of 75g, but it seems that 35grams is the ideal point. I also need to take my pills a bit closer as the efficacy drops around 6 to 7 hours. At the end of the evening right before bed last night I started the familiar feeling again. It is. It bad and is manageable. Fatigue has been more manageable, but I need to watch it over the course of the day. I can not do too much after I eat as my energy is spent digesting food.

It is Christmas Eve and it does not feel like Christmas to me as I have not actually done much shopping or anything. I have bought laptops for the boys but they may not arrive now until after Christmas. Mel has a habit of wrapping anything I buy around Christmas. There are some things that I purchased to make meal preps easier and faster for me, but Mel decided to wrap it instead. In the past I had wanted to eat some shortbread cookies and we bought the Walker tin. She did not give them to until Christmas and then by then I was over it and she had bought me other ones as well. It went to waste. This time I did not get any food for that.

As we will.br having people over today and I will be spending most of the day prepping I will probably not be updating this post. Right now prior to my appointment I feel great and I think things will progress smoothly.
