Today's Pleasures

Had a really nice walk and talk with my oldest daughter this morning

My oldest son tracked his food on cronometer--he really liked the pie graphs and had fun learning about it--he was really surprised that the popcorn he had at the softball game was more than 50% fat

Time in my garden

A nice sunny, cool day today

Detox 

Coughing up mucous, limited lung capacity for vigorous activity

Itchy rash in various spots on my chest, arms, and legs

White coating on my tongue 

Swollen, dark under-eye circles in the morning  

Some gas (smelly after dinner)

Minor redness and bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

Stress level

Low

Daily Thoughts

If this crazy rash doesn't clear up, I don't know what I'm going to do.  I feel like the drunk crying over the toilet promising God I'll change if only he helps me through this.  All raw, lots of water and early to bed tomorrow.
