i have so much energy today. so much. i don't know why. i was singing to myself at work. just like "la di das" every once in a while.
i came home from work, checked my e-mail and craftster, made a tutu for a stuffed animal (don't ask), took a bunch of pictures, edited them, burned them to a cd, then drove to richmond and ran errands and came back to surrey. no nap after work, i wasn't that tired. wahoo!
i've read stuff about people with fibro taking glucosamine. it's supposed to help you joints and stuff. eraina kept telling me i needed to take MSM with glucosamine and boswellia, and i bought some pills, but never got around to taking them. then dad went to costco yesterday and found liquid glucosamine (with MSM). it's half the price of the pills for a month's supply (two weeks cause mom and i are both taking it), it tastes pretty nasty, and i have to take a whole shot glass every day, but it's supposed to work way better than pills, because it's easier for your body to absorb.
so i took some last night, and i wonder if that's why i have so much energy today? it's not supposed to affect your energy, but i'd think not aching would do that, so maybe it's an extra benefit, ya know? i just realized my hands didn't hurt AT ALL today. like, no stiffness whatsoever, no aching. that's so unbelievably rare latey, you have no idea.
i took some again tonight, and i asked dad to go buy more. i wish it didn't have sugar in it, but i guess that's to make it taste sickly sweet and "berry" like. it just reminds me that i need to be regular about taking my acidophilous pills. and i might as well start taking my stuff for my adrenal gland as well, if the glucosamine is gonna work this well. i stopped taking it before, because i couldn't balance having more energy but still hurting, and i ended up hurting myself more by overdoing it.
i walked down 24 flights of stairs today. stupid firedrill. i don't know why we have to do them. honestly, we KNOW how to walk down the stairs. why do we need to demonstate it? and we were incredibly slow, if there'd been a real fire, we would've been fried. plus, i was all gungho motivated until the firedrill, and i couldn't get back in the rhythym after.
by about the 15th floor, my leg muscles started getting weak and shakey, and my knee joints were getting sore. tracy and i sat downstairs for a little bit afterwards, waiting for the elevator line ups to die down, gossiping about union politics with jamey for a bit, and by the time we started back upstairs, my legs weren't bad at all. they're a little stiff now, but i also spent the entire evening driving and walking around stores. really, this ain't too bad.
watch me wake up tommorrow unable to move my legs.... and my massage therapist is on vacation!
in other news, apologies to all you vegans and vegetarians on my list, but i had the BEST meal today. there's this place in the food court that sells "comfort food" (i forget what the food place is called) and you can get a whole turkey dinner for about $7.50. a bit pricey for lunch regularily, but totally worth the treat. i got mashed potatoes, cooked carrots (i love them, but i'm too impatient to ever cook them), STUFFING (mmmm.. it's my favourite part of the meal) and a whole bunch of white turkey meat covered in gravy. and they'll give you cranberry sauce if you want it (which i don't! ew). it's such a good deal, and it's soo fresh and good. you can get a bit cheaper version, with just two side dishes too. i brought home some of the turkey (they give you more than i can eat, i can't have much meat in one sitting) with gravy on it and nuked it and it was still so amazing and soft. dad was scoffing at it, since it was from the food court, but once he tried it he was impressed. it was incredible. i wonder if they'd give me two servings of stuffing instead of the mashed potatoes next time? mmmm stuffing....
speaking of vegan, is there such a thing as a vegan sugar cookie recipe? anyone have one?
also, i had a really good weekend, but i need to go to bed now. tommorrow night i have a bunch of crafting to do for a swap package (ie, tommorrow i have to start and finish my project, cause i'm a procrastinator like that), so no nap, but maybe i'll have time to write about my weekend.
my bedroom is still clean! arent' you all proud of me?
