Spoke to my Dr. today. She wanted to prescribe some medication to porevent inflammation...had to decline....I’ve been two weeks inflammationfree since I dropped artificial vanilla. Turns out is made from the bark scrapings from some weird GMO’d tree. I did some research and found out artificial vanilla used to be made from waste products from the paper making industry! But since they have become efficient and less wasteful, the spice industry became inventive and is trying to poison us...oh, well, ever vigilant....Alcinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892390798057929066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205234273837988960.post-71543878797082025732017-10-24T08:22:05.436-07:002017-10-24T08:22:05.436-07:00Very nice work LauraVery nice work Laurawatchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324485651492141663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205234273837988960.post-58458429486505574242017-09-12T12:12:34.478-07:002017-09-12T12:12:34.478-07:00Ahhh, elimination diets:) I'm on one too - my...Ahhh, elimination diets:) I'm on one too - my first - lactose and artificial sweeteners (apparently numerous digestive upsets due to the latter). On week 5 of 6, and it's not nearly as hard as I thought. Artificial sweeteners have been tricky, as I sub sugar in my coffee, but in reality, it's not that much and I find lactose free milk tastes no different than regular...who knew. Your weight loss is impressive!!! Quite an accomplishment. Culling out the closet is so practical but it's hard to go down that path. We have 4BR for 2 peeps and every closet is bulging, but in all fairness there's the whole summer/winter thingy with those big puffy jackets/coats. As for socks, lucky you! Last yr Christmas brought me 13pr to add to that bulging sock drawer..but I love'em. The culling seems hopeless at this point!!!

(To which one person responded, "You mean, like, from a kit?") Um. No. Most people just kind of look at me with expectation in their expression, as if to say, "And... ???" But I'm also a writer with a dozen published books to my credit. When I say, "I'm a writer," of course they ask, "Oh, what do you write?" Not a simple answer, since my books can be divided into two very different types/audiences. I also read Tarot cards and do astrology. I usually don't even go there at all.

It does not look comfy at all. I usually end up sitting forward in my office chair or practically laying in it. I have one of those ball chairs for my craft table. I like it.

The only thing I don't like about them is they are very deep so if I have too many they make the room smaller (ha ha ha!) and I feel like I'm wasting space until I put tall things in the drawers. I'm thinking I may move the ones I have into the garage. I'm curious how all of this pans out in the end and I'm trying to keep an open mind.
