Woke last night (again) choking on reflux. Pretty sure I'm going to need a procedure / surgery to fix my esophagus. It sucks double because spicy food was my favorite, but now those things are likely killing me which means they're off menu indefinitely.

A positive is getting into cosplay. There are two characters I'm working on now, and it's a brand new hobby, so it's both exciting and scary.

Aw I feel you. I love spicy food but it hates me. I have never tried chilli crisp because I'm so scared what it would do to me.
