I have been eating wheat based foods with no ill effects since Friday. Maybe my body just needed to detox? I'm going to continue to eat reduced amounts of gluten, because I do feel better with less, but I'm not going to avoid it anymore.
I went for a long run this morning (long for me being 35 minutes) and really regretted a.) not running thrice this week instead of twice and b.) not taking my asthma inhaler with me, because I definitely did not have the lung capacity that I normally do.
I've done some school work, not a huge amount, but some and I'll do some more Monday and Tuesday evenings.
I have written some more of my book. I wrote a scene from the middle of the book in my lunchtime the other day, and it's weirdly comforting, like now I have two places to write between, like connect the dots or something. Not an end, but a destination on the way to the end. I wrote just over a thousand words last night after dinner. I'm feeling good!
I'll just keep writing bits and pieces and hopefully the story will come together eventually.
Today Lee and I went to all the bed shops along Thorndon Quay (which number something like six now), got mightily confused and eventually bought a new mattress, base and a memory foam pillow each. Yay us! The frame will be ready some time before christmas, but the mattress should be done soon. Very exciting! I haven't had a new bed since I turned twenty.
I have organic tampons. I think they were the same price as regular tampons but the sanitary pads they make are more expensive.
and a note to myself on saving the world, and also to celebrate my enjoyment of Singstar Legends....
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
~ John Farnham.
PoF: comfy Sunday
CO: feeling motivated, saving the planet and keeping writing.
