Slept pretty well from 11:30-9:00.  Up late researching dentists for my little guy.  :(

Today's Pleasures

Nice walk by myself, being serenaded by (scolded by?) redwing blackbirds

Celebrating my lovely husband and co-parent who I appreciate so much!

Getting a bunch of housework done

Watching these amazing gnats... they look like little bits of white duck down or cottonwood seeds floating around.  Their bodies are mostly made of this white fluff (fur?) and then they have a little black gnat attached.  LOL!

Having a great support call with my empathy buddy

Planting tomato plants with my little guy

Detox 

More yeast symptoms--mild, but irritating nonetheless

Some itching, even less today

Boil on my inner thigh, almost totally better

White coating on my tongue 

Swollen, dark under-eye circles in the morning  

Minor redness and bumpiness on forehead, nose, chin and upper chest

I've noticed a few small moles seem to be scabbing over as if they are falling off

Stress level

Low

Daily Thoughts 

Day 7 salt-free.  

Not a lot of appetite today.  It's actually quite hot but didn't really bother me.
