psoriasis and grass allergies
i have been having 1/2 a glass of booze with dinner here, and drinking tea with caffeine, and i guess that it is greatly worsening my psoriasis, so i will have to stop drinking those two things. plus i didn't get to have any salad today. :( I guess I'll have to make other diet related modifications, but this worsening could all be due to my having started a new anti-depressant in the last week (wellbutrin slow release, plus i am decreasing the zoloft). This is pissing me off. If only I could get up early enough to sunbathe a bit in the morning (nude, of course)- sun is supposed to really help psoriasis. and of course i don't have my skin cream with me. doesn't really help, anyhow.
check out psoriasis.org for more info about this annoying skin condition. the stuff on my scalp is mostly gone, i think, but i have it on the front of my legs, in my armpits, etc. (that's at least 2 different kinds of psoriasis) i had small spots on my boobs and stomach when i was in santa barbara.
h was showing me how to use the scythe today. most of the use has to do with maintenance of the blade- it has to be sharpened every 10 to 15 minutes! Also, you have to use just the right technique when you are cutting the grain, or you miss a bunch of plants and waste a lot of energy. it's a nice full-body workout. since i was being a farmer, i put a blade of the dried grass into my mouth and nibbled on it for a few minutes. when i got to the end, i tried chewing on the seeds (too hard). After a bit, it felt like there was something in my throat- maybe some part of the barley plant. i started coughing in that choking way, and fluid was coming out of just about every orifice in my body. i kept coughing for a long, long time. herman tried looking down my throat, and poking at it with chopsticks. i joked that the only thing that would work was deep throating someone's dick, but let's face it, h's is probably really dirty, and s needed c to help her with demolition on the house (darn, that would have been a lot of fun).
this might have all just been an allergic reaction to the dried grasses.
