Man, you guys had a vajazzling party while I was asleep last night. Granted, I went to bed much earlier than usual, but still.

I actually had awesome dreams last night that I had really grown wings, though because it's me I didn't dream about flying, I dreamed about trying to get out of my flat without knocking anything over with my wings. I suspect part of it had to do with the Tiger Balm I put on right before bed. I woke up at two am and that stuff was still going strong.

When I was at the chiropractor's on Tuesday, she asked how my allergy stuff was going. For those just joining us, I took a food allergy test a little over a month ago and it turns out I'm allergic to all the food, ever. Well, sensitive, which is distinctly not the same thing, but it's easier and kind of funnier just to say allergic.

Anyway, yes. I'm allergic to everything. So I've been very, very slowly removing food from my diet. Eventually, the theory goes, I'll add it back in and see how badly it affects me. I've been off turkey and chicken for a month, which is harder than it sounds -- chicken broth is in everything. This month I'm adding peanuts and fish to the verboten list; minus tuna, which I can still eat, though I only eat fish raw so it's not like I get a lot to start with (most cooked fish is horrible). I've already switched over from peanut butter to almond butter, which is pretty delicious as a substitute if way more expensive, so cutting out peanuts really just means no more Snickers bars. This is sad, as Snickers bars are my favourite.

So I told her, I've been off chicken and turkey, I'm going off fish and peanuts. She said, "You know, your skin is looking better."

I wasn't aware my skin was looking bad to begin with. I don't have acne or anything. Possibly she meant my freckles are fading, or that autumn-pasty-white is preferable on me to summer-tan?

Maybe I'm glowing and don't know it! Luminescence wouldn't be a bad superpower if the wings fall through.
