Normalcy

I am just writing this entry because right now I feel really good. I feel normal! I also was just noticing how my face is not puffy anymore. My stomach has gotten considerably flatter, also. I cannot believe it.

Today was a great day. It was Santino's 29th birthday. My mom and Uncle drove over from Harrisonburg and we took him out to dinner. Other activities we did today: went for a drive in lower Albemarle County and cuddled on the couch watching A Clockwork Orange with the fireplace lit.

I broke my elimination diet today but that is ok. I am back on the wagon tomorrow. One peculiar thing I noticed after eating a dish with dairy and wheat gluten - my throat started itching and burning! Sometimes I wonder if I have a sensitivity to these foods and if they are what is causing my thyroiditis.

ps. It is after 4AM and I cannot sleep... just looked at the Moon Calendar on the side column and noticed that the moon is 100% full! Awesome.
