Thank you Red Lobster Cheddar biscuits. PS, I miss you

Hehe, I love Red Lobster's Cheddar biscuits. We went to red lobster the other day and I gorged myself on gluten. Dave and I have been sorting out a possible trigger. I have tried to go gluten free in the past and it did help me feel better, but now, we think that Celiac's disease is a distinct possibility... Gulp. After eating those evil wonderful morsels, I was soooo very sick. Dave mentioned Celiac's and we started researching. There is a definite link between Type 1 diabetes and Celiac's Disease. 5-10 percent of those with T1D have the latter. So, I am a week without any gluten, and I feel better. Darn. We will be testing for Celiac's when I go to my doctor next, as I have already contacted her about it.


So, I am glad to have enjoyed those beautiful morsels of evil one last time before I must be really really good.

On an awesome note, we tried the Mellow Mushroom the other day. I have been wanting to try it for a year, and it was so amazingly awesome.

Dave is trying his best to show me I'm not missing anything with the gluten free foods... and i am forever thankful for him for that. He is going to try to replicate a honey butter chicken biscuit for me.... Whataburger's evil...

Feeling down

This week has been emotionally difficult. I am really struggling with staying happy through the diabetes. It's been so rough. I have good people around  me, but I had to break down. I cried more this week than I have this year I think... It's a good thing, but wow, i'm tired 8/ God is good and we can do this together.

You're my Home

Song time!

BILLY JOEL LYRICS

"You're My Home"

When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

When you touch my weary head
And you tell me everything will be all right
You say, "Use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night"
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Whenever we're together, that's my home

Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
You're my home.

By Billy Joel.
