I was shocked to see Auratum featured as a DD on monday.



I've had three other works on this account featured as DDs and one on my stock account so this makes five total for me. When I first joined dA I honestly thought I would never even get one. I still can't believe it when I log in to a ton of messages I wasn't expecting, this being my fifth probably makes it even more surprising.

I can't thank everyone enough. This is my first non-fractal DD and now also the first time I've ever had over 1000 favs on any of my works. I normally at least visit everyone who favs my work but I don't think that will be possible so I'll just have to say that I really appreciate everyone who liked it enough to click that button. I will get around to my new watchers (you guys are rockstars!) and say hello.

This made my week. I've been a little irritated because I've been on a bland, soft diet and clear liquids only for 2 weeks now to try and stop some annoying gallbladder attacks. They hurt like a complete bitch and if you've ever had one you'll know exactly what I mean. So I'm sick of apple juice etc. but if I eat normal foods I regret it pretty quickly. I would really appreciate any recipes or ideas if anyone else has ever had to do this and has them. It looks like I'm going to have to have it taken out but I'm not liking the idea of more mashed potatoes and rice until that happens.
