I'm sneezing. Cut grass, tree pollen, and the dandelions are making it difficult to breathe.
It might reach the high 50's here today. Still not warm enough for me to put my seedlings outside in the garden. The overnight low temperature last night was 32....that would freeze my plants.
On the food front I'm starting to buy the foods that I'm allowed to eat. I'm currently following three diets combined. DASH diet for my hypertension, IBS diet for my IBS, and the newest one for the stomach issues which takes away even more food from what I was allowed. Now I can't even have peppermint tea! No chocolate or carob. Just put me in the grave now why don't you? No beans, lentils or nuts. Wait I love eating my nuts. Now its like I'm down to just chicken as a source of protein. They took red meats, wild game, pork, eggs and dark meat away from me along with all dairy now when I used to be allowed to eat cheese. Do you realize how quickly I can get sick of chicken and turkey?
So I'll figure out what I'm allowed to eat for soluble fiber foods and then whittle it down more from the other "you can't eat that" lists I was given. Looks like rice cakes are going to be my main staple food.
Yes I'm complaining its my blog and I'm going to whine and sneeze today. Since I can't have real wine, like ever again!
As for the antiphospholipid antibody test that was done on Wednesday, even though the lab tech said it would take about 8 hours to get the results, the test results won't be in until some time late next week. Why? Well they have to send the blood out to have the test done. I guess my big regional medical treatment facility here called Madigan isn't so big after all that they still need to send out for tests. So as a little preventative since I'll be ovulating this week I'm now taking one baby asprin a day...just in case.
Label me cranky today.
That is one thing in life I truly enjoy, is the smell of freshy cut grass. I can imagine it wouldnt be that great for people with allergies though. Hopefully you are finding ways to dress the chicken up.
ReplyDeleteSmart ass here...when you say dress the chicken up all I can think of is putting a onesie on it.
DeleteI love the smell of fresh cut grass, but it bothers my allergies too. Wow that's a lot of food restrictions. I hope you can find things you will enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm still coping with the fact that chocolate is now forbidden. I can't give it up.
DeleteGood luck with the diets!
ReplyDeleteWe mostly eat chicken/turkey, we do have steak occasionally though. Honestly, most of our meals are vegetarian though, since I was vegetarian for 6 years. We eat a lot of ground turkey in place of hamburger too, it's very versatile.
Meat is expensive. I would make more rice and bean dishes but beans are also on the NO LIST.
Deletesounds frustrating with the special diets, especially no eggs! *sympathies*
ReplyDeleteSame with the hayfever, gets to a point where you want to stick forks in your eyes.
I feel like there is a fork firmly planted in my eyes along with a bucket of sand. My nose is chapped from all the blowing too. I hate tree allergy season.
