@eerie: It's difficult to say... I've always seemingly had horrible issues with lactose intolerancy. I would cut back on milk/get lactose free alternatives but I had issues with bleeding and whatnot. Doctors always couldn't find anything, assumed it was IBS or something. Long story short, my mom did research and (with the suggestion from my doctor) we decided to have me go 2 months no gluten. It sucked at first, but I started to notice these changes for me:
I was less swollen and achy.
Less migraines.
Less lethargic (and I mean debilitating, flu-like level of lethargy.)
No more bleeding and cramping.
I had to eat an immense amount of lactose to irritate my gut.
Long story short, my doctor explained that people with lactose sensitivity can also end up with gluten sensitivity, and they can aggravate each other. She tested me pre-diet change for Celiac, but it was negative despite having symptoms. She didn't want to put me back on normal to do a biopsy though. So ever since I just avoided and I've felt a ton better, even if it limits my dining options. And plus, I find a lot of GF stuff is actually a lot higher quality. Pure chocolate in chocolates, good ingredients in most foods. Does it always taste great? nah. Is the texture the stuff of nightmares? Yes. xD
Anyways that's longer than you probably wanted to read but... Yeah. Sorry. xD

@Xanthan: This is going to sound horribly girlie or somehow stereotypical of me. But I have taken the time to experiment with my skincare routine. I always had a decent complexion so I never had one, until I moved here and reactions caused splotches... Anyways, since pretty much no one except my family can see me rn, I am testing out what products I like, seeing what breaks me out and what doesn't. I am pampering myself with masks and whatnot.
And it's all possible because of online shopping. xD
Aside from that, I am focusing on my artwork, talking and checking in with my friends, and coming on here to become more active on places I love. =D also working. Because I need money to fuel my new addiction to cosmetics and skincare. And I'm letting all the crazies stockpile their toilet paper and sanitizer. All I need is a good exfoliator and a relaxing mask and some netflix and I am good to go.

@Xanthan: xD Dude, same. I'm gonna find a way to get a super nice little safe and bury it somewhere with all my money in it. xD cause I have so much. Like I have a whole 10 cents I'm gonna stash away. xD

@Alethna: I would almost prefer that, if I'm being honest. If they just gave a partial refund or something for our fees and then let us come back when it's safer or something, I'd be so happy. But rn there's almost no point. =\

@Booderdooder: Same! Technically classes for me resume tomorrow officially, but there's no extension on finals. My art history class has completely ended, with no more exams going on for that one, so one less to worry about. But still...
I also took them in person specifically for accountability. It's so saddening. =( Eventually this virus shall be killed but for now I'm just so sad. =(

I know it's serious in some ways and just an annoyance in others. But I'm really bummed my university is swtiching to remote learning because of this. I loved going to my biology class and being able to talk to my professor and ask questions and see my friend.
I started to listen to the audio on the slides and she's just so adorable. XD she started out with literally "I rally do miss all of you!" and I'm just like aweeee... Stupid virus.
Somebody better deal with this virus.

@Kairie:
Xander smiled faintly, seeing her excitement and energy. He did envy her spirit, and was only sad he couldn't bring himself to share it just then. "Awesome, we should probably get going then." He said, adjusting the strap of his bag and following her out of the clinic. The night air wasn't too cold, but had enough of a bite that he was thankful for his jacket. He couldn't help but notice how truly quiet it seemed the night was. Sure, there was the odd siren in the distance, but there were usually so many more. It felt heavy...
"Do you need caffeine to have a burst of energy?" He teased playfully, giving a bit of a chuckle. "Sometimes I think all the empaths in our clinic need is a sampling of your energy. They'd surely be bouncing off the walls." He joked, trying to be in happier spirits. "There weren't too many. The doctors, obviously, ordered quite a bit. Dr. Gillian wants quite a bit, which makes sense. She hasn't been eating well the last few days and has had even longer nights than I think we could ever relate to... Most nurses just wanted a small pick up until the shift change." He said, his brow furrowing as he attempted to remember everything on his list.
"How have you been during all of this, by the way? I forget to ask, what with everything..."

Is there someone over you instructor you can talk to? Someone who will make her have to clarify what she means?

@Xanthan: I am pretty ticked. I went in today and they had me as born in January when I'm born in October. It's like, wow bank. I had no idea I was 24 and not 23. thank you for aging me up legally without my consent. Lol. I didn't ask for this. I went in and got it fixed at my branch, and low and behold, phone lines are down today and I can't get my application started so my bills that I need on a reliable card (reoccurring at random times, doesn't coincide with payday and sometimes things just pop up and idk why.) and now they are just going to sit and accumulate or get canceled so...
I hate Canadian banks. xD I understand why some folks go crazy and horde their money in treasure stashes around the world now.

@eerie: It is. It sucks. I want my iron gut back.
Right! I don't mind cooking for people here and there but like, It becomes excessive sometimes.
Like I don't mind whipping up a nice curry for folks, or some rice or something. But if I have to make
breakfast lunch and dinner constantly, I start to glare at people at the mention of cooking and purposefully fuck something up to make people think I can't cook. xD

@eerie: Aha yeah... I unforunately literally can't olerate it. And it took forever to not be sick so... Gotta check my ingredient labels better. D=
Oh gosh. xD I try not to let it be too well known that I can cook, because then people expect me to cook all the time. And like, I'm lazy... You know?

Work is dead and will likely end up closing stores because of corona virus, my bank fucked up my birthdate somehow, and my school had me pay for lab fees and studio fees, only for them to go to remote learning and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting refunded on the remainder of the labs.

@eerie: Yes! I actually made more of a soup with rice cakes and hot dogs earlier. More of an asian twist still, but I recently discovered my chili paste contained wheat extract... And obviously, as you can imagine... Twas not fun. xD But after that I had to get creative so I made that... And I also whipped up some of my gluten free chocolate chip banana swirl muffins... I Had gluten free pizza... Gosh I've made a lot of food. xD
