Brains!

So I've been watching as all the wonderful fall leafs swirl around in the wind on our brown front lawn. Around the city fall is ove. Freezing nights and darkness at 4:30 has really turned things around. I'm off Manjistha and now taking Ashwagandha. If I eat any more yams and carrots I might turn orange. Looking over the winter grocery list I find most of my favorite foods are on it, thank you. However probably the most significant change is no wheat. I've noticed a great change in my digestion. On Friday Drack was coming down to meet me for lunch and he was supposed to bring some soup. Poor guy got stuck in traffic and thought he wasn't going to make it, which left me with no other choice then to hurry next door and get a sandwich. At the time I didn't know the new sandwich shop offered gluten free bread, so I ended up with a big tasty hoagie roll...of wheat. After not having had any since Monday morning, I felt like it just stuck there, suspended in my stomach, not moving. I realize how much, what's the right word, lighter I feel not eating wheat products. I don't feel slow, I feel like things are moving in my body. I'm interested to see how my tummy feels to Meadows when I go back on Thursday. Strangely though I've had a migraine since doing Yoga on Thursday night. I spoke with RF about this on Friday and she is beginning to think that as soon as I am loosen up, adjust, my body (most likely at night) tenses up again all over. I wake up noticing my shoulders are scrunched up in my ears. I'm literally ruining all the work done to me. I need to find some kind of balance. Some way to keep myself from old habits. Hell I need to hire someone to hold my shoulders down when I'm in bed. I just want to take the time to say it's the month of gratitude. And I've got more things to be thankful for this year than ever before.
