Sorry to those who chose to follow me for my blogging. I just haven't felt much like writing. Lest you give up on my entirely, here are three things going on in my life lately.
1) I was going to write about work, but that's boring. I am on Day 4 of a Whole30. Whole30 is kind of like paleo, where I am not eating processed or added sugar, grain of any sort, dairy, seed oils, and legumes. I am doing fairly well so far (considering it has only been 4 days). The biggest challenge is that I don't always have time to cook during the week and I've run out of leftovers. Which means, I'll be cooking tomorrow night, time for it or not.
The purpose of Whole30 is to break the cycle of the overconsumption of carbohydrates. In my case, my lifelong overconsumption has resulted in obesity (340 lb), Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. My goal is to drastically reduce the about of processed carbs and sugars in my diet. I have every intention of making it all the way through the 30 days, though in the past, I;ve fallen off sually around the end of week 2.
2) My beautiful, wonderful son turned 13 today. I am so incredibly grateful that he is in my life, largely of his own choosing (his mom and I divorced 3 1/2 years ago and he chose to live mostly with me). He is a strong, creative, intelligent, and very self-possessed and brave young man. I posted about this a few months ago, but my son is transgender. Born female, he realized his maleness this year and asked to receive a male name and pronouns. We have supported him completely in his transition and we are blessed with almost complete support among our friends and family.
3) First the first time in years, I am going to a play (kink) party this weekend. I am excited and nervous and hoping that attending the party will be what breaks me out of the nonsexual funk I have been in for a couple of years.
So...how have you folks been?
