Duchess is diabetic again.

I managed to do one massive chunk of cleaning Friday evening, so now I don't have it to do today. It's amazing how much calmer my Sunday is when a couple of hours of chores are removed.

It's also amazing how much nicer my Sunday is when I do the grocery run Saturday night. Sadly, I learned that that is a TERRIBLE time to shop at my local store. I got a head of lettuce about seven inches in diameter, several zucchini that looked more like pickles, no half-and-half because they were out of it, no 85% dark chocolate because they were out of it, and okay, there were some chicken breasts on sale. What an awful trip. It's so much better-stocked on Sunday morning.

I drank white wine last night (ooooooo bad!! hee) and I slept like a rock. Diphenhydramine is useless by comparison. I'd forgotten what it was like to be not tired.

Four seconds on "tiptoe" (ball of the foot) on the hard porcelain of the shower floor this morning. That's on a Sunday morning, after the most foot-strenuous day of the week. And did you notice I was not only able but willing to go grocery shopping on a Saturday night? Things ARE changing. Whether it's Lyme, or the weird-ass diet (or even a side effect of being down ten pounds), or me somehow magically acclimating to being on my feet all day Saturday, or just random fluctuations, I don't know. But I won't complain.

i'm getting a lot of that too. yeah, i have more energy and have lost 21 lbs, but i think i also FEEL better overall, and it shows. it's amazing how much even a little bit of pain or malaise will show in one's face ('specially around the eyes).

Oh yes. I feel immensely energetic lately, just full of the feeling of well-being, and I don't know whether it's the improved nutrition or just the lower pain level. Pain is insidious. It eats everything -- intelligence, energy, EVERYTHING. I'm glad you're feeling better! I hope everything you're doing will keep working!
