Long time, no journal. Life has been freakishly busy. Short update: Doc has me on the Whole 30 diet until January. Its getting easier as I learn what I can and cannot have. Through this, I have discovered that I have a true dairy allergy- requiring 24-48 hours of Benadryl coverage in order to mitigate the reaction. Ingesting gluten gives me flu-like symptoms- which I already suspected. But after cleaning it out of my diet for 30 days, and then trying some again- WOW! That was miserable.
Still doing the gym 5 days a week, with very rare exceptions. Today was one of them....massive PMS migraine. Its a migraine on a marathon---40 hours and counting. I went to the gym yesterday -even with the migraine-hoping that a good hard workout might generate some happy endorphins that would help me overcome the misery. Worked for a while, but then wham!
House is coming along. With the exception of the big fireplace, there is no sign or smell of smoke damage from the fire. Drywall is complete, and the painter started today. I started working on the chocolate shop painting last week- so that will be my pet project. Once the paint is done, I can tile floors. I'd LOVE to have a functioning bathroom over there!!!! Farming has been a challenge. Rain seems to ruin the days we can cut hay and bale. But, we've got a short dry spell, so DH is going to start cutting the last massive field today. The calf stomped 90 feet of green beans in my garden, and gave the turkeys a clear path to destruction- eating the plants, then eating the tops off the carrots, beets and chard. The calf is now penned up in the "Time-Out" pen, awaiting the butcher later this fall. Turkeys are doomed as well. As soon as the kids start school- I will be butchering, and then canning the meat.
Well, off to medicate the migraine, and try to function. Blessings and best wishes to all!!! Annie
