Welp. That "happy belly" phase didn't last very long. I got a few weeks of glorious eating before food didn't sit right again. It coincided with trying a different brand of digestive enzymes and they did NOT do the trick. I switched back, but since then it's been iffy. Back to reality. It's okay. I haven't eaten a salad in a long time and my body was bound to bitch about it.
Speaking of my body revolting, the itchy skin scenario has also flared and as a result of the scratching I look like a crackhead. I plan to beg the dermatologist for anything that will calm the beast. And, since I'll be there, ask about further lasering the spots off my face.
This weekend I trimmed the rose bushes and cleared all the dead plants out of the flower beds. It was a lot of work but now it looks so clean and bare and ready for some more flowers. I always get excited about that.
Leadership at work has outlined a plan for us to have a better work/life balance and part of that plan involves encouraging us to take all of our PTO this year (we all often lose hours at the end of the year). I've been kind of wanting a girls trip... and also work has been really slow so we could all use a better balance in the other direction. Example: I didn't get out of my pjs today. Hm.
This morning I cut the strawberries into hearts and this evening I cut the carrots in the salad into hearts and FG did not notice either one. Haha. I hate the idea of making a big deal out of Valentine's day in the traditional way, but I love the idea of celebrating love all around. So while I actively reject flowers and chocolates today, I am lucky enough to enjoy them, and other random acts of schmoop, randomly all the time.
I'm pretty used to my cup being filled on a daily basis. Seriously, tell me I'm pretty every day and do things like put air in my tires, and thank me for making dinner every night, and every damn day is Valentine's day.
