I think I just discovered an allergy to pears. Or maybe just that specific type of pear, which I don't think I've had before. Soon as I ate it I had a really strange taste in my mouth and my tongue is a bit...tingly and feels rough (not swollen though!) Like after I eat kiwis...which is why I don't eat kiwis anymore (though I love them).

Huh, guess I'm like Ten?

In other news, last night down the pub was brilliant! Fish and chips (in fake newspaper on a plate) and Guiness and Baileys (oh my!) and great friends. Gave up at 10ish go to head home (in the rain), because I was falling asleep! Got in bed, put my headphones in and...woke up at 3:45am tangled in said headphones. Wow, that's never happened before. I always hit the end of my play list before I fall asleep! Feeling rested today, though still tired. A few articles to read (well, more than a few), will try to eat a bit healthier than the mass amounts of fat I've had the last 2 days, and if that sky gets brighter I may go for a long walk too. And pilates. Least I did the cleaning, though laundry has been put off until tomorrow on account of not caring (and still having clean work-out clothes for today).

I am looking forward to having a washing machine in a house. [Though not a dryer, alas, but that I can live without!]

Also woke this morning to a solidified version of what I was attempting to explain to Ross on Friday. Two days late, but I'll take it for the next meeting. This time, I wrote it down.

my tongue is a bit...tingly... That's what happens to my mom when she eats strawberries.

Not just me then, that's good! Thankfully I don't have a problem with strawberries, since they are my favourite fruit. But the pears are unfortunate, because I do love them. Oh well, plenty of other fruit varieties out there!

I also discovered a new food intolerance yesterday: beer! I couldn't get to sleep last night, it was dreadful. My poor tummy has really suffered over the last few years, I definitely have to be careful about what I eat and drink nowadays.

Bless the BBC. I think I shall just avoid kiwis, pears and wine from now on without bothering a doctor about it. After all, I can certainly live without those!

I'm damn well not giving up wheat though! Heavens. But I still prefer whole grain loaves instead of ready-sliced white breads. Wouldn't it be wonderful to make bread from scratch?

That was me on Friday night! I guess we've both discoved that age where certain foods are just not okay anymore. Most annoying, but I guess we have no choice to adapt!

Sorry about the beer! I've been off wine lately for similar reason. Even one glass leaves me feeling not well the next day, but not hungover either.
