lillilahI don't like Facebook, as I think that it sucks to give time and money to a company that encourages unhappiness. So, I'm going to try to stay away from it and post here. I can't decide if posting every day would be good or excessive. However, I'll try for "often" and see how it goes.
I'm busy avoiding doing anything that could possibly cause stress in hopes that our trip to Vilnius won't be ruined by stomach pain and vomiting. I had to refuse an invitation to an orchestral performance at the Hermitage, because it might have been stressful to get there on time. You can guess how happy I am about having to do that. I tried upping my Niacinamide (vitamin B3 but without making you flushed, which helps with brain fog and blood sugar issues), but that went poorly. I ended up in a good mood, followed by too excited, followed by stressed with a hint of stomach pain. I'm taking half my normal dosage right now, which means I'm less happy and less able to focus. However, there are some times when we are taking classes (only noticed after I started the diet) that taking my normal dosage makes me crazy.
In spite of my desire to not overdo, I've decided that we should make cookies for our teacher for New Years, and since our last day is Thursday, that means that I need to make them soon. The plan is to make them for Tuesday, since that will give Joel a few days to eat the extras before we leave on our trip. We've been working really hard on division of labor here, so maybe if I make the dough, Joel can cook them. He's been really good at doing that, as he is more attentive and patient than I am.
Today's goals are to work on the podcast and get the next week's menu made.
