Not all that Interesting.

I have been gluten free for one week, three days. Four more days until I try something with gluten in it to see what happens.  So far, I have more energy, am not getting lethargic after lunch, my joints ache less, and I have less stomach upset.  Also, I have been getting hungry and there is much less nausea involved in the mornings.  Used to be I couldn't even think about food until about 4 pm. So I think there is a pretty good chance that I am allergic to gluten. We shall see.

Went to a midwife ghetto with my pal Ruth. Apparently at U of M, they keep all the midwives quarantined in a special little ward just for them in the midst of normal ob/gyns or something.  Midwifery might be catching.    We wandered outside for ten minutes or so puzzling out how to get into the building, and which part of the building we needed to go to.  We finally chose the children's ward, which is where I want to go if I ever have to be admitted.  Bright colors, pretty lights, and stuffed animals. Yep. Fuck all that white adult hospital shit.  And the lady at the desk sent us up to the 9th floor, then the lady at the 9th floor desk sent us into a whole other building for the midwifery conference.  From then on, it was all glamorous talk about mucus plugs and breaking water.  Then, a tour, back to Floor 9, where the rooms are equipped with showers, tubs, huge television sets, and, apparently, the interwebs.  I commenced to tease Ruth about posting Facebook statuses while in labor.  Then it was tasty Thai food and back home.

Tuesday was declared Redford Mental Health Day and at least three of its residents skipped work.  Me, Jon, and his pal Levon all decided to just not go to work.  It was nice just lounging around the house doing absolutely nothing, I must admit.  Our days off are usually busy for some reason.  All that shopping for food and cooking of the food that we don't want to do during the week.

Today is rainy but at least it doesn't seem to be freezing to anything.  Think I'll drive out to Ruth's. Nothing better going on before work today.  Jon already left.
