Feeling a bit lonely

Summer is here again, and there are crowds of people on the terraces of the bars lining the streets. It gives me such an empty, lonely feeling. Then again, I am equally happy with my own company.

I am still super tired. This flu has drained every ounce of energy from me. It comes in waves as well. For an hour or two, I can feel just fine, and then all of a sudden, I feel so tired. Yesterday, I fell asleep on the sofa at the care home for an hour.

I have a feeling I’ve lost direction over the last 2-3 weeks. I need some sort of reset. I’ve done amazingly well over the last six months. I need to decide what I am doing regarding a) our future, b) my work, and c) how I am going to financially fund my future goals.

Not lactose but everything intolerant!

What is causing upset stomachs with non-dairy products? I’ve been having almond milk with my coffee and wondering why I rush to the toilet soon after, only to discover that an additive called carrageenan is likely to blame. It’s used for thickening, but unfortunately, this particular type of carbohydrate happens to be indigestible. WTF!

Then I drink chocolate soy milk and immediately rush to the toilet. Reading an article, it might be nerve sensitivity. Something in those substitutes is causing irritation to the nerves going to the bowels. FFS! Looks like it’s going to be black coffee, tea, and water for me.
