Swollen under-eye circles (but a lot less puffy without the salt yesterday) 

A little bit of "hot" nasal drip during my workout and again in early evening

A little gas here and there

Constipation cleared out by afternoon

Minor redness and a lot of bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

Crabby and feeling down today

Daily Thoughts

Struggling with family relationships with my siblings.  I watched some Modern Family shows with my husband in the evening, cuddled with my little guy, and laughed my butt off and felt a bit better.
