Family reunion

Sunday RUN 1 mile, walk 1 mile up N24th Rd
Monday COMMUTE 7.6 miles, more? 

I've lost track of time, what we've done, when I did it. Where does the time go? Why does it seem to be falling away from us? 

I haven't done stained glass at all. I haven't done watercolor or drawing since the beginning of June, even though Slava asks and asks. My mind is too fried, I'm mentally tired. I dropped any pretense of a running regimen. The gym -- not since beginning of July which is about when I realized that strength training as I was doing wasn't getting me to my goals. And now in the last week, even a morning walk or a run isn't happening. Weekend bike rides - we've done one!?

Duolingo is on maintenance. My meals are on repeat. War and Peace just waits for me to finish the last 100 or so pages. I have a to do list, languishing. 

What's going on? Stress. The stress of STEP1, alpha gal, needs at work, upcoming GAL and travel and summer and all else. It's a blessing of sorts that my sister and family are not coming this upcoming weekend (she's too busy too, and that's a sort of comfort to me, to know it's not just me). 

We survived a weekend on alphagal changes. I'm following his eating patterns now, eating only what he can so I can be aware of the foods, shopping, recipes, needs, flavors. We'll see.

Saturday on the drive back he said he want to do low fructose. We can do that, but it's another list I need to dig out of my archives. Low fructose - been there done that, can do it again. 

On the plus side, my T=7 stuff has stopped at least a few days! My joint pain and itching from dairy is washed out.
