Well, the sad fact is that I'm house-bound today. My chronic health issues have caught up with me and I'm having a bit of a pain day. On the upside, I have enough energy to be in the kitchen in spurts (though I may need to lay down later), so I'm making grain-free crackers. They're super easy and very good. A guilt-free snack. If you're interested, message me and I'll forward you the page/recipe.
W and I have changed our eating habits and have gone GF and lactose-free. Basically it's the same diet I tried a year and a half ago. Except this time.. it isn't going so well. The more I think though, the more I remember it didn't go so easily in the beginning that time, either. Still, I don't remember being in this much pain last time. We've just been in this 2 weeks, so it's still early. I need to persevere. All of this is mostly what my blog title is about today.
I have been having a problem deciding what to write about. A lot and a little has happened since I last wrote and most of the thoughts I have that I think I want to blog about, happen usually while I'm out and not near a pen and paper to write them down. I always think I'll remember them and I never do.
Life in Dutch-land is good. Spring has been here for a couple weeks, with the temperatures and greenery to show for it. With the warm winter, I'm not sure what that'll mean for our summer. We're getting lots of sun now (I think I heard March was a record) and it's nice to be outside. I'm slowly putting pots out on the balcony (making sure we won't get anymore frost).
Choir is going well, when I'm able to go. I'm sick (colds, etc) often since I moved, so I'm not there every week.
As I pass my time here I still can't believe how nice people are (usually, though there have a couple exceptions). I've been excercising my language muscles when I'm out more now. I've been developing more ideas for my business and will slowly start putting them into play. I'm happy I have developed a clearer vision.
Hmm.. I really don't have a lot to write about today. Perhaps I'll pick another day when I can write something more specific. I know it's been a while, so I wanted to at least show I was still alive :) How is your spring going? Your Lent? Your diet? Your friendships and relationships? I hope you are taking care of yourself and all that is attached to you by faith, love or mind.

Great to hear from you! Sorry about the health issues. Perhaps the gluten-free benefits don't kick in straight away. My god-daughter and family are on a gluten and lactose free diet because their baby son has proved extremely intolerant to both. Even the slightest lapse causes him great pain, awful sickness and a rash, the poor little thing. I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
I am feeling better, ironically, with the introduction of a little gluten. I was eating too much fiber and my body was protesting.
Glad you wrote. xx
