Emergence from Hell?

My head, today, seems above water in my current spate of organism difficulties. The beast, the stomach, is less volatile, and I have begun to modify my eating to 1.)mollify it and 2.)take off some weight. My wife has managed to secure us an excellent, cheerful physician (verbally confirmed by her staff as such in contrast to others they have worked for), and she seems more than casually interested in her patients’ good health. She’s suggested a daily regimen of flax seed oil (a couple of tablespoons) to help with raising good cholesterol, so I’m on board that train.
As another diarist noted, we crossed the jahrzeit for the most excellent drummer/humorist Ian Wallace on the 22nd. One light year and six days into his journey. I hope he has a First Class seat.
Diarist has a ring that blogger does not. Blogging and flogging are too close. Words beginning with “diar” are also problematic, but less closely related associationally.
