kitchen! kitchen!

stef. today the unthinkable happened. i got up before 8 am. and then something else that is totally unthinkable happened right after that. i went for a run. i feel like a million dollars right now. things have been a little strange since k’s bday… found out i had celiac’s disease, then found out i actually don’t (via blood test) and then found out what i actually had, that was causing all my back pain, wasn’t grain… it was… kidney stones. there are no words for the level of uncomfortable-ness these microscopic things cause.

feeling better for now. i think it’s out, but gosh that thing looked like the end of a toothpick. how it could cause so much pain i don’t know. the best part was, when i told people what had been causing my pain, most of them could only offer me a “oooh, those are supposed to be super painful” or a ” oh my gosh, you’re going to be in the er when you pass that.” not the encouraging, uplifting “get well” that would have gone a long way. that’s okay. cranberry juice is the only friend i need right now. 

let’s see. been cleaning all morning, blah, blah blah. my kitchen is finally done! what do you think? i am so obsessed with white cabinets.

been loving these new teas i have been trying. they are by yogi and they are fab. i used to hate tea, but since coke is a big no-no for me these days, tea is my new love. try the kidney and liver detox, and the peach kidney detox. so delicious. i have been sitting on the couch beside my love drinking tea and watching the olympics every night. going to be de-pressed when they are over. oh, and around 10 pm we get little k up for an extra bottle because he keeps losing weight every time we go to the doctor. this is him after his late night snack.
