Rennie, sorry that you're under the weather; hope that clears up quickly for you.
Michelle, you do what you need to do: sometimes hibernating is the right thing!
Zumba, totally understandable how hard it is to let go of your son; I hate to have any of mine away too.
Shannon, too bad about your pup, hope he's feeling better soon and your trip isn't hindered too much.
andrew, hope your wife can find some relief; I guess like in most areas, different solutions work for different people - perhaps going gluten-free will help.
I haven't paid much attention to the gluten thing but it turns out I've been mostly gluten-free the past 2 years just by avoiding processed foods and only rarely eating bread, pasta or baked items. Who knew? It hasn't particularly helped with my own health issues besides weight control though. :P
OMG, I just realized tonight that my ticker tripped over into counting years!! That really pleases me.
The last time I lost a significant amount of weight (down to 131 lbs. over a decade ago), it lasted about a minute. Don't mind me, I need to cheer a little bit here.
