Inn of the Wandering Dragon

The countdown is on and I just breath a deep sigh that clearly says this cannot come soon enough!

After all the fussing, after all the agonizing and drama a friend of mine is getting married this weekend. I have been helping where I can ( I am one of the bridesmaids so... naturally) in addition to my long hours of working two jobs and attempting to keep my meals and excersize to something resembling a good idea. It's not as easy as it looks. I suspect that sometime in October I might be able to catch up on the backlog of stuff "not getting done" but until then I shall hold out for that glorious day on the horizon where I can actually get a bit of sleep.

Mind you, that only goes to show that I really needed to do this.

The detox is helping in other ways too. I am rediscovering my joy for cooking. I will never be an amazing chef by any means but the act of creating something that I can enjoy eating is a joy in and of itself, one of those simple life pleasures if you will. That is a joy that was severely muted for some time but it is starting to return. In other areas, my allergies are getting better. I know there are some things in processed foods that bother me and now my body is getting a break from them. The idea is to reintroduce other ingredients one at a time to get a better idea of what is affecting me. We shall see how that goes (and I seriously hope that cheese is not one of the culprits!) in a week or so.
