O.O you just have all the fun !!

True story. Back when I was in my 30's some of our friends made a confession ... they'd known each other in college and one was studying to be a vet.

So uh somehow they would trap the strays and the vet student would do the fix em in the garage. ... I wonder if you happened to catch one of their fixes lol ... would have been like omg more years than I want to confess to. 40 some odd years ago.

You've been on my brain!! You remember that histamine web site that I found? Well, a few days ago, I got an email promo from the site talking about how fasting (sounds like intermittent fasting even) works to reduce the cells that are over active with histamines!! I'm definitely adding that info to my arsenal for the summer!

Wait. I should be able to find that email fast. TaDa https://healinghistamine.com/fastings-antihistamine-properties

Of course she's a business woman and has a package to buy with the whole plan thought out. But she's also really good about listing her resources. It's on my todo list to dive into those more.

I'm already kind of familiar with the idea as Mitch has been trying intermittent fasting out rather haphazardly. And ... he still brought his blood sugars down from just under 300 (after Thanksgiving Day) to around 130.

It also reduces inflammation across the board. I know I feel scads better when we stop eating by 4pm. Even just that small thing of not eating from 4pm to like 8 am has good effects. So. After reading her post, I'm feeling more inspired to try harder.

Winter has been hard ... but I'm dreading the bug bites of summer again. Without them, I've even been able to slip in a few pancakes here and there. :-)

Hope all is well with you !!

I do well if I don't eat anything after 3.
Winter so far we have survived, the pain is keeping the greenhouse temps up, cost of kerosene is pretty spendy.

Ah ha! You're ahead of me on the learning curve. Well done!

My winter has only been hard because of the bitter cold. Tired of it. We're getting 4 days above freezing though, then back we go into the deep freeze. Today is suppose to be 60F!

Sympathy to you in your pain! 🌻
