One more day til I can call my least favourite person my EX-roommate...ahhh

But I'm not breathing any relief just yet, I have only today to pack my entire apartment into boxes and have everything ready for tomorrow morning, still trying to settle the bills, and I got told just last night that some dude is moving in Sunday morning. Not only that, she says I have to be moved out by saturday evening. So that means that my parents and auntie/uncle will only be there a few hours (worried about roads), to not just move everything into the new apartment but set it up?? HA good luck on that happening!

Man, by the time i'm done packing its gonna be time to wake up, basically!! I have nobody to help :(. My friend in the city is busy holding a party, the 3 cousins in the city im sure out packing, and no other friends offered to make a trip here to help out :(. the one that did, from 4 hrs away, has a charity event she's hosting tomorrow. and my guy has been MIA so even though I sent him messages I'd like him to come help (who's also 4 hours from here), I havent heard back from.

I keep having to take breaks because of my bad back, and such arthritis in my hand as it is that right now its wrapped up and BURNING/swollen. so i cant do a lot of carrying/lifting either.

THIS SUCKS

I'm in, not settled or unpacked but got everything here...

I have only crap internet (whatever wireless I can pick up) until monday night. I sitll have to collect money from the roommate. She still has to go in and sign off my tv/cable account.

I think tonight I'll be leaving the lights on the next couple nights so that I get used to the surroundings, this place is backwards compared to the last so if i get up during the night I'll get that panic feeling.

So much to do, no energy to do it :/

Lisa I am so glad you are safe and sound into a new place. It will be such a good move. It will be nice once you are settled in too.

Thanks! My main task for today will be putting my food in the shelves. I will be the happiest girl on earth haha. I'm going to stick all my baking stuff in the cupboards in the kitchen, and see how much room I have for everything else. I might even celebrate by baking something tonight :P. So much easier to find food in a cupboard then in a giant tote!!!

Glad the biggest part of the move is over. I hope you settling in well and enjoying the privacy and peace. Have you opened your arms spun around and gone "mine all mine" yet? :D:D:D

I think this move is going to make a huge differnce in your quality of life and I am so glad you are finally in your own place.

Hey guys. No I didn't have the time to bake just yet. BUT I did unpack most of my food.. IN THE CUPBOARDS! :D . Soooo nice putting out my flours and baking mixes and stuff like that!!! I still have to make room in the livingroom for the computer/tv guys and unpack more of my hockey stuff and whatever goes into my basically empty bedroom haha.

Once I get things sorted out I will take pictures for you guys to see just how much room I have! ;)

And the neighbours are sooo peaceful too. No distractions at all. Couldn't be better!

I am glad your living nightmare is finally over, it must be such a relief. Now you can just concentrate on school, and relax at home as well, without all the stress of being upset, worried and scared because of that horrible roommate.

I'll be taking some pics for you guys tomorrow (or I guess, today ;) ) ..got enough unpacked that u can actually understand the layout of this place.

I can tell you one thing: reading my school work is a heck of a lot easier. It's beyond highlighting and not taking in what's on the page, I am able to remember WHAT I am reading while highlighting. If that makes any sense!

Thanks :D. I've been able to get a good nights rest, too. All I got left yet really is setting up my computer desk and find a place for my books and stuff, I may just put them in the pantry since I have a lot of room in there until I get another shelf of some sort. I have such a pile of dishes it's not even funny lol So i will do those up before I photograph the place ;).

*on the side note, I'm killing time at the university until the disability office re-opens so they can make a copy of the letter for my doc appointment to show why I'm rescheduling a final*

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
