Welcome to my online journal! What I post here is not consistent, and it doesn't fall into any one category. I post about my thoughts, my dreams, lifestyle, and anything else I might feel like posting!

Lame Sunday

#drunk #sunday #lame #boringnight

Yeah.

Hashtags out the butt.

GF living is interesting...and saddening...I miss donuts. And toast. And croissants. And countless other things but I just picked the things I miss most. OH and breaded things. I really miss breaded things. Did you guys know sushi is chock full of gluten?! FML. Seriously guys. I miss sushi like a fat kid misses cake. Yeah. I went there.

So today I had GF pancakes and tea for breakfast, then some kettle corn to snack on, then an iced coffee from Timmies - not a day goes by without some Timmies - then quinoa with tomato sauce and parmesan and a salad, and some sherbet, and now I am finishing the night with a few drinks. 
Yeah. This is my life now.
It's been over a week and I haven't noticed significant change; however, I feel that it will take longer to really get an idea of how things are going to be. I really miss sushi though.

Anyway, that's all for now, I'm going to go (hopefully) sleep in and enjoy my day off tomorrow! And hopefully post a new look on my beauty blog, beautyweeklybywindfrost.blogspot.com. We'll see how lazy I end up tomorrow. I might not go out at all, besides my nail appointment. 
Meh.

Ce la vie.

SMQ (13)

121. What caused you to wince today?
Clunking my elbow into the side of the car. Ouchie.

122. Who did you run into today that you'd like to spend more time with?
I wouldn't call this "run into", but I did see my mom briefly today and I'd like to spend more time with her than I do. 

123. What tempted you today?
The thought of pizza. Mmm, pizza. Damn this gluten free trial - see yesterday's post if you're curious about that.

124. What "yes or no" questions should I decide by flipping a coin?
None. All decisions should be made for a reason - not because of chance. Sometimes it's fun to flip a coin, but in the end, when you get your result, you know if it's what you want or not.

125. What trait did you admire in someone else today?
Perserverance.

126. How do you feel when you stare at the stars?
Different every time.

127. What would you say to your loved ones if you could tell them absolutely anything?
The truth.

128. If you could tell your boss what you really want to do in your job, what would it be?
Stay at my front desk, help people, answer questions, greet, wave goodbye, play with puppies and kittens, maintain a client base of friends and build on what we have, bustle about filling prescriptions and taking dogs back and forth, smile, chat, laugh, feel.

129. How are you going to make tomorrow a joyful day?
Visit my mom and my pup :)

130. Recall a place, person or event. What emotion do you feel strongly?
I recall a person, and I feel sadness.

A New Journey.

Oh hey there.
Look at me, actually writing something down for once. Woohoo!
Anyway, I've started doing something I'm pretty excited about - it was suggested to me by a friend that I do a gluten-free trial. Why, you may ask? Because I have a history of stomach issues. My family has no major allergies or anything, but someone close to me suffers with digestive problems and I do too. It's only over the past year that I've really started picking up on it - and it's not specific. Which makes it harder, I think, to pinpoint what the problem is. Lately I've been trying to eat less meat, less dairy, less processed. I'm by no means perfect - my idea of "cooking" is pasta from a package which is done in 10-15 minutes and canned sauce. But I'm trying to better my eating habits, one day at a time.
So for this week, I'm going gluten free. If it makes a difference, I guess I'll have to keep it up. It's not easy - and I'm weak. But given some of the symptoms of Celiac disease, I can't help but wonder if it's true, and has just gone unheard of. I never thought of an allergy, to be honest. We'll see, I guess.
So today, breakfast was:
 GF bread with vegan margarine and organic peanut butter
Serious Coffee caramel macchiato
Lunch:
GF strawberry granola with almond milk
Banana
Dinner:
Brown rice pasta (shells) with alfredo sauce
Garlic Butter Prawns
Iced coffee
And, because I can't help myself, later there was tea and sour patch kids.
So, do you want to follow me on this week of GF eating? Should I even be posting this on the internet? Does anyone care?
Well, regardless, I'll be posting here and there along this week and who knows? Maybe this will be my "cure".
