Something to eat

Snowflakes continue to lazily float down to our cold earth.  We're covered in a gentle blanket of white and left to trudge through the banks to the muddy, slushy, slippery roads.  My biking has taken an immediate halt and I don't see when the next time to get out and about on two wheels will come.  

With my continued decline of health or maybe just a lack of improvements I'm seriously contemplating doing some more radical diet changes.  There's a diet called the specific carbohydrate diet, scd, that focuses around eating only foods that are absorbed easily and completely so as to prevent the overgrowth of lower intestinal flora and fauna.  As well eating high good bacteria content foods like yoghurt or taking supplements is recommended.  I had a friend this last summer that also recommended I try a paleo diet where I would eat meat, seeds, and fruits and veggies.  Think cave man style menu.  Both of these diets and I'm sure many more have seemed to have helped a lot of people and I'm feeling a little helpless always waiting on the over burdened medical system and the next drug.  

Maybe tomorrow I'll try some recipes out and work towards setting myself up to be able to manage one of these big diets changes.  

Today I also wrote my last midterm which went as expected.  It was fairly easy with a few things I had no clue about thrown in.  I get lost in the details but stay on top of the linguistic concepts well.  It is a nice change to learn something about people and the world rather than machinery and science.  The vehicle in my group project successfully left the start zone which was a big bonus.  Here's to the next challenge, getting the thing to shoot.

This afternoon and evening were wonderfully relaxing and I feel able to take on tomorrow's slew of assignments!
