Inspirational Reading

The last two books that I read were wonderful, heartfelt and inspirational. Here are some tidbits to encourage you to pick them up:
Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist is the second autobiography by Michael J. Fox. In this instalment, Fox talks about living with Parkinson’s, and explains how he has managed to [...]

A Change in the Wind

Okay, okay! I’m back and ready to fill you in! Yesterday I mentioned that I’ve been having a lot of fun lately – let me elaborate…
The health food book I’ve been referencing over the summer has the subtitle “The Plan That Will Change Your Life”, the meditation book I’ve been using repeatedly speaks of changing [...]

No Sleep for You!

(Do me a favour, when you read the title of this post, read it with Soup Nazi emphasis! Don’t sweat if you have no idea what I am talking about, it’s really not important. Ok, to the important stuff!)
For some unknown reason I have not been sleeping well for the past few nights. One of [...]

Fishy Mistake

I did something stupid the other night: I decided to eat fish and chips. After about three months of eating nothing but healthy food, my body did not respond well to deep fried fish and french fries. I spent the next morning sitting beside the toilet feeling like I was about to vomit. Luckily I [...]

Fun and Food

The party was fun, so I didn’t leave as early as I meant to…but I still got home before midnight. So I probably would have been fine, except that I got inspired to start writing a song…and stayed up until 1:00am. Again, I could have probably got a decent night sleep at that point. However, [...]

Reality Check

Apparently I got a little ahead of myself in my congratulations. The past two days I’ve had a bit of trouble with fibro. I really do mean a bit, nothing catastrophic, but I’ve been achy, tired, not sleeping great and have had an on and off kind of headache. Apparently I’m snapping at people too, [...]

Gut Feelings

I mentioned before that I had scheduled a Hydrogen Breath Test in order to find out if I am lactose intolerant. I also mentioned how stupid I felt this was, seeing as it seems almost conclusively that I have a dairy allergy rather than a lactose intolerance problem.
I continued to feel uneasy about the [...]

Rest and Recovery

I just got back from another stint in Muskoka. It was a perfect weekend, which involved a lot of late night star gazing (there was even a meteor shower!). I expected that I would take a few days to recover from my awesome weekend. However, instead of a drawn out period of really feeling my [...]

Foggy Head

Urgh. I apparently ate something that sparked my allergy last night. I felt ok after taking meds, but today I’ve not been feeling so hot. My head is all foggy and I’m cranky and sort of tired. Grumble, grumble, I’m in a rotten mood. I’m going to my friend’s cottage for the weekend though, so [...]

Don’t Cry Over Accidentally Consumed Milk

People keep asking me if I can eat goat’s cheese and other products. My answer was consistently, “I don’t know, maybe”. Well turns out the answer is a big fat NO. I had some on Monday and my system is still upset today! Not a ton of fun. It was interesting because it was not [...]
