Azure is the sky on many days here, but not so much yesterday. Yet i went into the nutritionist's office burbling, "What a lovely day." It was a very busy day and i am hard pressed to figure out what i found lovely about it: i believe i'm comparing it to what November in Philadelphia could be.

Bezel comes to mind as "B" word and i wonder what's going on with the interior Z's. I've got a Q in the lexulous game i'm playing with Christine (who regularly whomps us), not a Z. I did note that there's a worn spot on my Treo bezel, pitted like a satellite in our trashy orbit, but it's just a small area. It's not under any of the basic navigation points. As i went to sleep and played my ritual hand of solitaire while Christine read and pet my hair i realized the worn spot is right over the deck from which one selects cards.

Crazed, i choose not to break the Z pattern, and that brings me to
Dazed, where i wonder if this is a silly challenge, and i
Ease myself out of it by echoing the sound and not the letter.

Fun, i think that's what i'm trying to have here.

Helping out my health for the next few months with be a collection of Evening Primrose or Borage oil and Fish oil, as well as a bioflavinoid Quercitin. Now, when i hear that a fruit or vegetable has lots of antioxidants and bioflavenoids , i translate it as that "fruit or vegetable has lots of fruit and vegetableness." Eye rolling may occur. Per wikipedia's numbers, if i ate a kg of apples before each meal i'd approach the low end of the dosage proscribed for me. Of course, to say any naturally occurring product has N amount of some compound is to play the odds on a wide bell curve, as well as gamble on the breadth of sample used to calculate the average. Is the apple number all from Red Delicious from Washington state? Anyhow, it seems to be widely available.

I am stopping the elimination/exclusion diet today. I will probably continue to be wary of corn and wheat, although we have pizza planned for Friday night dinner after my colonoscopy.

Just a pleasant treat, is the pizza, while i already have a reason for feeling out of it, and the following day is a Meeting retreat where i don't need to be particularly motivated.

Killing off this pattern now, last paragraph in this game. I've got my mind moving.

So, i need to write my doctor and request tests

* IgE: mold, inhalants, and usual foods including anti gliadin antibody -- all allergy tests
* 25 hydroxy vitamin D -- argh, i can't remember if this is a specific issue or the whole reactivity spectrum
* free Ty and free T3 -- thyroid behavior


High value for therapy, low for maintenance:

* 500-1000 mg of quercitin before each meal
* GLA (borage, Evening primrose) 240 -480 mg once a day
* EPA/DHA (fish, not flax) 600/400 - 1200/800 once a day. (mgs?)

Greycie Loo was acting extremely unwell and subdued last night, curled up on our bed and not coming to dinner. Her behavior this morning is a little better, but she's still not eating. Christine's going to continue to watch her: the cats need to get some vaccines before being boarded, anyhow, so they may be off to the vet on Wednesday as it is. I recall we recently applied the flea meds. *worry*
