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.
