Tomorrow early, we drive for 3 hours down to Auckland, and I catch a plane and go to Christchurch, which will take an hour and then catch a bus and travel for another 3 hours to get to Waimate. It will be a long day! But worth it in the end to see my mum and dad. Gosh I miss them.

I think I might have been stressing out today, trying not to think about that worse case scenario. When I stress, it goes straight to my stomach, so it has not been too settled today.

So it has been last day at work, for two weeks, the usual morning tea shout, which probably equates to a lunch. Me I had to do it, get in the cake and the quiches etc, and I did not forget myself, I got some blue brie and some crackers and grapes. Boy did I feel full after that. Silly when really all I had was a few crackers and cheese and a grape or two. But it must’ve been all that other food I saw which made me think I am full.

A nothing much doing day. As long as I cleaned up my office and turned all the heaters and lights off, and that will be fine. Never is much doing on the last day at work.

I have being toying with the idea of maybe having a soy allergy as well. As you probably guess, I have not been progressing too well on the gluten free diet. I do not eat gluten, if I did it would be the minutest and by mistake. But I have not really improved much, as I still have diahrrea and tummy pains. It could be soy. I will give it a go and avoid it, which should not be too hard, as I do not eat very much processed food. I was wondering all but for a minute whether there would be anything essential I would miss out on by going soy free, but then I remember, years ago, us westerners would not have been into eating soy anyway. The only thing I can think off that I will miss out on would be the chocolate. Anyway I will give soy a miss, and hopefully, it will make the holiday much more pleasant. More time sight seeing, than wondering where the next loo is.

Roll on tomorrow.
