Running with the 🐺

9.4.24

Good morning! I’m really feeling good today, slept well, my body doesn’t hurt anywhere which is the best part. Oh and coffee! Yesterday I had none and by the time I got some it was too late to make any, would have been up all night which I was trying not to do. I was still up until 1am, lol. I took a week or two off bone broth and I’m drinking it again. I had half a cup last night and am drinking it right now as well. Another factor of being up all night is my overmethylation.

I’m an overmethylator, hypermethylator, aka low folate disorder. I probably need to cut back my b12 dose a hair. It does help keep me awake too long but at the same time makes me feel run down. Like a car with a full tank of gas but all out of oil. How long can you run like this? It sucks. But hey, I’m a creative with manic focus 😂. I look just like that when I paint too! 😆 wait…is she naked under that apron?

What is an overmethylater? Someone who‘s methylation system runs too quickly to use all methyl donors/groups just floating around in the bloodstream which causes inflammation which then causes lovely dark physical extremes to occur. I need to get some NAC and glutathione and some nicotinic acid.

Anyways, I thought I’d post a little memory I don’t think I have shared here before. It was the time I went to a wolf sanctuary and had a tour and took some photos. I consider myself a longtime wolf supporter/donator/protector and this was just one way of doing that.

The sanctuary is known as Seacrest, they give tours on the weekend and you can also book a private visit for the weekdays and pro photos are an option for a price. I however didn’t have that kind of money at that time in my life. I just toured in a group and was permitted to bring in a disposable camera, no cellphones allowed had to leave it in the car. The pictures were not that good I admit, but good enough to use to inspire an art project a decade later. Here are some photos I took, and had taken of me by volunteers at the event.

It was early May in Florida at the time and I didn’t really think I needed another shirt layer but… I was frozen! Lol. That is what I most remember, it was so cold especially when the wind blew, and I had no backup shirt or jacket in the car. I was tempted to just buy a sweatshirt in the gift shop but I really couldn’t afford it. It was already a costly activity just to be there. I was warned the wolves were molting their coat so they wouldn’t be as “pretty and lively” as they are in fall. Lol.

Sitting amongst them in the woods was something my soul longed to experience. So glad to have made it. I imagine a private tour would have been next level magical without all those people around. Another time and place if I ever get mobile enough.

That is all for today. Here is a funny I found.
