The Wind.

The last several days we have had a wind storm rolling through our wonderful place in paradise. We've had gusts up to 80 miles per hour with sustained winds at 50 to 60 miles per hour. As a result it has been quite chilly. During the wind storms I usually don't go anywhere unless I have to. I don't have asthma but I have tons of allergies & who knows what is blowing around in the wind. Thankfully, I didn't have to work these last couple days.

So here we are. Saturday morning. The wind seems to have died down for the most part. I can finally try 'freezing-my-ass-off' running. Otherwise known as cold weather running. Most of the year I do my running the same months I shave my legs on a regular basis. You know, the months with no "brrrrr" in them? So my running season has been April - August, maybe the first two weeks in September. Depends on how cold it is. See, I don't like the cold. I am most assuredly a warm weather kinda gal. I stay here because of my husband. That and when the zombies freeze during the winter it is easier to kill them. Since I work today, I shall try running tomorrow. Won't be able to run my usual pace as I have'na been running since, oh, maybe the last week of September.

We'll see how it goes.

(Really I posted this today cause I want to try out my new blogger app on my phone! I feel so smart!)

Going GF & DF

Ahhhh...what does GF and DF mean?  Well, GF is short for Gluten Free and DF is Dairy Free. Well, Alaska Girl, what does that mean? "A  gluten-free diet  is a diet  that excludes foods containing gluten . Gluten is a protein complex found in wheat  (including kamut  and spelt ),barley, rye and triticale. Corn  and rice  also contain gluten, but are considered gluten-free, as the gluten in these species do not cause celiac disease .  A gluten-free diet is the only medically accepted treatment for celiac   disease,   the related condition dermatitis herpetiformis  and wheat allergy , but not gluten allergy ." (wikipedia) Wikipedia-the end all be all for info! Not really. So, here is info from celiac.com  " wheat, rye and barley, it is obvious that you will need to avoid these grains. Less obvious however, are the myriad of products that contain gluten as a hidden ingredient." So. Gluten-free basically means cutting specific grains out of the diet. Especially whea

To sleep...perchance to dream...

O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs, Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee, And hush'd with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber, Than in the perfum'd chambers of the great, Under the canopies of costly state, And lull'd with sound of sweetest melody? ( citation ) Sleep...that elusive task of which I have a hard time accomplishing.  I have no problem falling asleep. I can easily sleep on a plane, train, automobile.  I have slept in lobbies, on chairs, in movies, at church and in classrooms. No, my challenge is not falling asleep.  My challenge is staying asleep.  Diving into the deep end of the slumber pool.  I tend to wade at the shallow end. Even stepping out of the water several times a night.   I have had two sleep studies done.  Both had the same results.  Quick to fall asleep with waking approximate
