Someone posted this on [livejournal.com profile] ontd_political's Friday Shenanigans (which I'm just now getting around to reading) and I about peed.


Drumming workshop today in Kansas City. Forgot to work out with [livejournal.com profile] msmitti what time she's picking me up. Oops.

I am this close to caving to the Pinterest pressure.

TMI ALERT: I started my period which is never what I'd call a good time, but it's made all the worse by me being on this elimination diet and because I am doing this thing hardcore, I'm not taking supplements and stuff that include nasty starch fillers. This means no ibuprofen. So I'm dealing with The Girly Issues sans NSAIDs. It kind of sucks a lot. /TMI

But at least I slept through the night last night! First full night sleep since last Tuesday!

This morning I'm trying an experiment with my hair. It's been really dry this winter (due to the weather's near-complete lack of moisture). So this morning (day after henna) I slathered on a bunch of coconut oil and am letting it sit on my hair before I wash it. My hair? Looks so nasty right now. But it smells terrific.

OMG these camper trailers are adorable.

Oh ugh, no NSAIDs. I'm reading that even in gel caps (no fillers), it's bad for leaky guts. Boo. I live on them right now.

However, ask your acupuncturist about boswellia (http://www.herbalextractsplus.com/boswellia.cfm)? It looks promising for the other achey issues. I'd be curious to hear what she thinks.

Hm! I'll try to remember to ask her about that tomorrow.

OOh, I missed the T@b first time around here.

Pinning! :D

Can't you use liquid gel caps of ibuprofen?

Dunno. Don't have any here. =/

I always laugh like an idiot when I see that gif, ngl.

Mmm, coconut oil. Good for tons of stuff. I was using it on my eczema patches before I started taking the gummi vitamins that have helped clear my skin up wonderfully. Also, you have my serious sympathy for going through Shark Week without the benefit of NSAIDs. I don't think I could cope, tbh.

Very sorry about the issues. HOW IS THE HAIR?

Honestly, I haven't had time to inspect yet. Zoom Zoom Zoom.

If you do decide to cave to Pinterest let me know. I'm over there already.

I think it's only a matter of time.
