Back in the Swing

My stomach is really hurting right now. I think I am lactose intolerant.
But then again, it may be stress. I have to write a resume today so that could be the obvious source of my stress. I am drinking lots of water, so that may help. Also, I've decided to write about it, the stress I mean, so maybe getting it out of my system and onto this proverbial paper may help. I drank three beers approximately last night. That may also have something to do with my stomach upset.
In other health news, I may have early signs of Rosacea. I met a girl and her mother at whole foods yesterday. The girl, Rachel, has full blown Rosacea. Has had it for five years. Thinks it may be related to allergies. Sounds very plausible to me. It's interesting to me how interconnected allergies, auto-immune disorders and stress all are.
I met another woman a little later yesterday at Half-Price Books. Her name is Susan. She was looking for a book on the Gerson Method. We talked for a while and she was very interesting. Lots of family problems, which of course are so fascinating to me.
I missed the social media breakfast this morning. I feel kind of bad about it. But I didn't really want to go.
Might be going to Blanco tomorrow with Eric and his dad. That should be a nice drive up to the country.
I'm worried about running out of my medication also. Next month I am going to be more careful about scheduling the appt. on the right day so that there are no gaps.
I'm going to quote the International Rosacea Foundation now:

"Rosacea is 'not' a hereditary condition as many medical doctors believe as hereditary denotes a genetic condition that is inherited. Yes, rosacea is a chronic (long term) skin disorder that most often affects the nose, cheeks, and forehead, but you will hopefully have noticed that these areas have the largest arteries and veins blood supply. And thus have the larger accumulations of acids over the years. If it were an inherited skin disorder, rosacea would start from a very early age of two weeks or several years after birth when most other inherited genetic disorders are noticed."

I can't believe it. I hope everyone realizes that you must be so careful when reading things about health on the internet. This woman has NO idea what she is talking about. Okay I'm done venting about that.

Alright. The stress has subsided substantially. I am going to begin working on my resume now. Thanks self, for listening. Everything is going to be okay. And my new job should be awesome. Can't wait to be wearing scrubs.
