The results are in, as of this afternoon: whatever I'm doing dietarily is working. If anything, a little too well..my levels of homocysteine (the biproduct of my genetic defect, and an indicator of potential harmful effects) are *low*. Low! Below normal range. I'm at 3.5, the range is 5-12. Whoa. I was worried about it being too high. So apparently, all these years of being a pretty staunch vegan are paying off. Well, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, and apparently it'll all be OK. And here I thought I was simply stubborn.
My mom is undertaking the moving process, and although it's hard, she's managing to make it happen with the support of dear friends.
I found a therapist to work with around my grief issues, and it's a funny thing - she both happens to know all about the genetic condition that I have, and has an extensive background in the labor movement. Who knew? Quelle conincidence. If there are things that look out for people, I have a few of them looking out for me.
In other news, I'm keepin' on keepin' on. I have a new sweetie/person-that-I'm-dating. I'm still managing to make some art. I've become involved with a local trans coalition that is beginning to work on holding local police/fire/EMS services accountable. These are all profoundly good things.
