Matthew 15:17

Today is one of those days I hate my body.

No, I'm not one of those people who hates the way they look, mine is much more biologically based than psychologically based.

Today I hate the fact that Lyme Disease has so completely weakened my immune system and played havoc with every other system of my body that I feel miserable inside and out.

Last night my wonderful husband made an amazing dinner of foods which I can eat.  In fact it was a very basic meal of rice pasta complementing mussels, cooked only in a little white wine and oil (no fancy spices or alliums  for me thank you).  Everything is on my safe list - no known food allergies.  So maybe it wasn't that, maybe it was something I picked up yesterday in Annapolis.

All I know is that in addition to the very stiff and aching muscles I woke up with, I have spent the majority of my day nursing a very icky tummy as well.  On the bright side, so far, there is no indication of a migraine on the horizon.

Extra probiotics are on the menu for today along with some gluten-free table crackers and 7-Up.  Maybe later if I get really adventurous I'll drink an Ensure.

How will I live into my call today? 
Today I shall focus on trying to be healthy... as healthy as a person with multiple chronic conditions can be.
Lucky for me, I had already planned to take today as my day off / Sabbath.
