Well, after two days off, back to work in the morning. It will be a short day.

Christmas was a quiet day for just us mostly. We visited Jacquie's brother in the afternoon, and our nephew took five minutes out of playing with the Wii to open his gift and say thank you.

Dinner for two was roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, with gravy, wax beans and rice. All gluten-free, of course.

We had the family gathering on my side this evening, with my brothers, their wives, and my parents. Open Original Shared Link was the host this year. They had some gingerbread cookies by El Peto. Mmmm.

'Mornin', POeter! Been meaning to tell you that Jack finally got hold of Rob's latest (I think it's his most recent.....:unsure:... . . . .."Watch", I believe), and he loved it. Sophie halfhazardly picked it up in a sci-fi-is-SOOOO-uncool-and-totally-not-my-thing fashion and, despite herself, could not put it down. Jack wrote a message to Rob on his website about it and got a very nice, attentive answer.

Jack is wondering if he could come to Rob's house with you next Christmas, as he has too many other questions to feasibly be posting on the website. :rolleyes:

mmm Having a big bowl of bean soup for brekky (thanks K-wren!). Christmas from my bro and SIL was food based. Gigantic saute pan, oil mister, Barbara Kingsolver Open Original Shared Link, ginger scented lotion (may need that after the bowl of beans), and a box of gluten-free chips and crackers and asparagus tapenade.

I'm getting them a Open Original Shared Link

Sounds yummy. Not my mom's recipe - light colored dried beans, salt & pepper & ham. :blink:

We do a three-year rotation, so Rob is next up in 2013. This coming year is Alan's turn.

Watch is the latest, the second volume in the WWW trilogy. Wonder is due out in April, and Rob will be doing another Canadian tour for the launch, and he plans to include Ottawa.

or make them so heavy they can't fly at you. Hard to be attacked by pigeons with indigestion waddling at you.

The starlings stayed in the trees for about 15 very loud minutes. Suddenly, it went silent and they flew away. Maybe just waiting for a freshly washed car to go by.

Bah! humbug. It is STILL raining here too - all day, and cold and blowing. I am consoling myself with reading and cryptic crosswords, and eating too much - have now switched to a glass of wine since it's five o'clock

'Tis extraordinary, really... . . . . ....Ottawa is known for its cold, snow-laden winters, and yet this city has somehow miraculously been completely sideswiped by ALL of the horrific blizzard activity that has been pounding the surrounding areas. Got nuttin' here - - perhaps 12 cm of psnaough since the start of winter. :huh:

Must go out and buy a lottery ticket, methinks.. . . . ..

We know quite a few people whose holiday travel plans have been skippered. Patteigh! How are youse faring after the 51 cm??

Things are pretty much back to normal here as of this morning--the Governor's office called for a snow emergency yesterday. Mark went in to work yesterday without too much difficulty (although to be phair, our cars are in a parking garage so he didn't have to dig out like a lot of pholks did).

The winds were awful--finally dying down this morning.

It's supposed to be close to 50 by the week's end. :rolleyes:

You sure did send it here- we got 9 + inches. We initially had such heavy snow and winds that you couldn't drive. Then the winds were unbelievable through last night.

I'll be offline and in bed as I seem to have the flu. Does Celiac make you more susceptible to illnesses? I seem to just keep getting sick. Spent the past two days in bed already. We have all these movies we want to go see but right now getting the energy to shower is all I can muster. Clark is actually going to the supermarket with a mini shopping list.

I miss my psillies. Sending Non Contagious Hugs, smile.gif

Loey Lane

P.S. sorry if this was whiny. Clark's off for the whole week and so far I've slept through most of it. sad.gif

Hi Patti,

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
