Shirley (and group),

Thanks so much for your responses - they mean a lot. Jeff came home today and

was treating me well. (I'm so glad) We're getting along again.

I ended up eating some more of the deer dish I made yesterday, but something in

it gave me a slight headache. I splashed a little worcestershire sauce and

parmesan cheese on it to give it more flavor. That's probably what did it. These

are the kinds of symptoms I'll be looking for when I start the Elimination Diet.

I haven't really started it yet, but I have been noticing what I eat and the

symptoms I get afterwards. I can't wait to get some fresh fruits and vegetables

and start using my juicer again, but I probably won't be able to go food

shopping until next week. So I'll have to make do with what I have. I feel so

much better this evening than I did this morning and afternoon. Most of the pain

has dissipated, even the burning / pinching skin sensations I get frequently

now. I didn't eat much of the deer dish, the flavor wasn't the greatest, so my

husband offered to make me a hot dog. At first I said okay, because I'm so

addicted to eating. But then when I thought of all the preservatives and stuff

in there, I kept thinking about all the pain I was in this afternoon and decided

to pass. I have a feeling I'm going to be losing some weight here shortly.

Well, I never did take my nap this evening, I'll probably be going to bed VERY

shortly, like maybe now. I don't think I'm babysitting tomorrow, I'll probably

be doing more research, maybe on the Paleo Diet this time. Thanks again for your

concern, Shirley, you sound like a fabulous person.

PS: is usually a pretty good eater. She has been brought up on mostly

wild game, fish & fowl. She's not afraid of spices, as a matter of fact, she

snuck into my fridge the other night and was eating a raw vidalia and a tomato -

a two-fisted eater!!!! She was actually munching on the onion!!! She's not too

hot on sugar, usually, she'll take an oatmeal cookie over a chocolate chip and

prefers grapes or a salad or yogurt over a cookie! She's pretty amazing, really.

I call her " my little home wrecker " because she can make my living room look

like a tornado went through it in less than twenty minutes. I love her deeply

and she is the reason I am trying to heal myself.

Oh Hon, I know that you are tired. I also know about trying other

things for kids. I was fortunate that my son loved yogurt. I didn't

mind giving that to him at all.

Try this, leave a note asking your hubby to bring you something back

if he goes out for supper. Well, it could work!

I sure hope you have a better night and a much better tomorrow.

> Shirley,

> 's parents finally came to get her at 4:45. They decided

they wanted to get a little shopping done before they came to get

her. I had her help me wash dishes. She loves playing in the sink

with cups while I do the dishes.

> I felt bad, I didn't have much to offer her as far as treats

today. Haven't been shopping for the house in a couple weeks. I did

have a bottle of cherry juice that I bought her a couple weeks ago

and hid in the basement. I didn't want my 21 year-old son finding it

and polishing it off. When I brought it upstairs today, it said 100%

TART cherry juice - OMG - I didn't notice that when I bought it. It

was way too tart. She didn't want it. I tried putting a tiny bit of

sugar in it, even though I don't like doing that, but it still

tasted way too tart. I don't think all the sugar in the world would

have made it taste acceptable to her - it was just too tart. Boy,

when I bought it, it was very expensive, but I thought it would be

good change for her to have a different kind of juice for a change.

I just didn't notice that it said " TART " . I bought two bottles of

it - I still have one in the basement. I'll have to mix it with some

other juice when I get some.

> I was going to say a little about my husband, but I'm way too

angry at him, plus, he's due home any minute. I want to get in bed

and fall asleep before he walks in. Besides, he won't fight anymore,

now he'll just give me the silent treatment for days and days. After

32 years, I'm getting kinda use to it. Looks like it will be last

years venison & rice for a couple more days... He'll probably go

out to eat. I think I'm out of chocolate now, that's a good thing.
