I woke up this morning at 6 am with a killer tummy ache (I blame the pasta I had for dinner) and could not get back to sleep which is the only reason on earth that I would be awake at 730 am on a Saturday. Ugh. I am TIRED. I even tried to go back to sleep with no luck, so here I am.

Despite this, I am determined to get some vitamin D and exercise in today by taking my bike out and enjoying the beautiful weather. My lovely friend Heather is a Mary Kay rep and is hosting an all day sales party so I’m going to bike down and support her this morning. This is seriously dangerous for me as my addiction to makeup and beauty products knows no bounds, but I’ll try to be good. Maybe I can convince Ryan to give me his VISA? ha ha.

I finished a paper last night which makes me feel a lot more productive. Post make up party I’ll be working on my take home final for Women and Gender Studies which is due on monday. I have a serious set up at the kitchen table, dual monitors and everything. No crowded, loud, horrible library for this girl.

I will also be going gluten free for a few days to see if it helps my tummy issues. It does not feel like a coincidence that I was doing great yesterday until I had pasta for dinner. (and a cookie for dessert…) Now that I’ve had my blood test, it’s safe to eliminate it from my diet but I’m just struggling with how to go about it. I am a carb fiend. I will not become a bland-ian just yet since I still have about 3 months left of medication to finish and the idea of not being able to put hot sauce on everything kind of makes me want to cry. So for now, bye bye wheat!
