I got so sick this past week. The sickest I've been in a long time and I'm not really sure what happened. We were in NYC and my first night there we went to a place called Candle 79- they have a vegan menu and a gluten free menu. I ate like a princess! I had cucumber watermelon soup with cayenne pepper- sounds weird but so good. I had a bean and corn cake with a chipotle aoili for dinner followed by an ice cream sampler which included lavender blueberry ice cream- WOW! I am a fairly adventurous eater. They even had Bard's Tale gluten-free lager on tap. Wow!But thye next day something went seriously wrong. I could feel it in my bones. And Sunday through Wednesday I was so incredibly sick. It's hrad to pinpoint what happened because we ate out so much but I took every precaution I could and still... itr happened. I felt so sick, everyone bone in my body ached. It was horrible. And the mood swings since have been vicious.Sometimes I honestly don't know what's worse. The physical aspect or the emotional aspect. I think I'd rather be feeling physically ill than emotionally ill. I feel like my horrible mood swings have been taken out on my husband (and he's so good- he really is but this is our first year of marriage and it's a hell of a way to start). Also, I have no motivation 9and it takes weeks for that to come back) and this horrible brain fog. But I've been crying so much this week that I'm wondering if it's just taking my brain longer to recover than my body. I hope that's the case and eventually I'll feel emotionally better. Not having fun.
