*blushes* In all the rush of starting college and recovering from locale-shock, I forgot to mention any of my happy news. And even now I won't, because I'm supposed to be doing homework. But I will say that my post-Alaskan system seems to be able to tolerate moderate amounts of lactose without much problem! Yaaaaaaaayyyy!!!! *hugs*

I'm having the worst allergic reaction in my memory. Ever. Certainly in a very long time. :-( *curls up in a ball* I feel so sick.... I appologize in advance for not being myself in the next few days/weeks... :-P

*sighs* I'm having an allergic reaction. A bad one. Stupid lactose-free milk not really being lactose free. :-P Thank goodness for lactase, which makes this at least managable. I'm also really worried baout my knees...they hurt really bad and are making weird sounds...they feel bubbly (for lack of a better description) when I walk. o.0 I hope it ( Read more... )

I discovered by accident at work a while ago that Kellogg brand Pot Tarts are Jari-safe. So I went to Walmart today to buy some, and was pleased (and surprised) to find that they taste much better (and are considerably cheaper) than the ones at work. The ones at work are bitter. I can't imagine how old they are. :-P ( Read more... )

One 11.2 oz. bag of foodstuffs: $2.32. 1.2 million FCC lactase units: $6.59. Estimated waking hours of lost productivity: 96. Pigging out on the milk-encrusted doughnut holes that have been taunting you for months, even knowing that you'll be regretting it for weeks: priceless. There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there're ( Read more... )

I suffered a moment of weak-will ar work tonight and had me a maple doughnut. I took lots of lactase before and after, and I'm hoping to death I survive the experience. On a semi-related, my shcedule for this coming week is:
Sun(8)-Mon: No work (yaayyy!!!)
Tue-Thurs: 4-11
Fri-Sat: 4-12
Give at least an extra half hour each way for transit time....

I accidentally had a couple bites of cheesy beef burrito today at lunch, and I' think I'm starting to feel the effects. Namely I'm all...not depressed, exactly, but weird. It's kind of like the emotional randomness associated with PMS, but not quite so extreme (I dun think? o.0)--unless it's a bad case of lactose poisoning--but still it makes me ( Read more... )

I figured it out shortly after I posted last night. I'm having another milk-reaction. A bad one. All the symptoms line up. *sighs* My allergy seems to be getting worse, not better. I have this deep-down fear that if I ever get to go visit my friends, I'll accidentally eat something that cooked in the same time zone as something that was 'processed ( Read more... )

So I went to work this afternoon and was kinda confused as I walked in and unlocked/disarmed everything. I was running a bit late; the game should have been starting right as I got there. It...wasn't. In fact, it looked like only one team was there. And it looked like a JV team at practice to my untrained eye. So I asked some random guy I found ( Read more... )
