day fifteen/turning the corner?

What a change a few days can bring.  On Wednesday, I was feeling more crap than I had in over a year.  Today, I feel fairly normal.  I say ‘fairly’ because there was some knotted stomach stuff earlier today; but in terms of my capacity to think, and to do stuff, I’m about a thousand percent better.

Who knows.   Maybe prozac is the one.  I was saying to my work friend P yesterday that finding the right antidepressant is kind of like finding the right guy, but harder.  He agreed.  And as he added, sometimes it can appear to be the one, but over time you work out that it’s not.  Which sucks.

Still, I’m feeling heaps better.  It’s hard for me to believe that things can change in such a short period of time.

I also had a win today.  SO’s dad has recently been diagnosed as having coeliac (that is, he’s gluten intolerant).  As a result, his diet has radically changed.  It seems that most of the food available for coeliacs is pretty nasty tasting, and he’s been miserable.  His favourite recipe that I make is a date loaf, and I decided to try a gluten-free version today.  He came around this afternoon and we had a taste of it.  Well, it tastes great, and he was so appreciative, poor love.  And the changes were easy, too.  I’ll have to post the amended recipe at some stage. 

So yes, that was great, and it was so nice to see SO’s dad smile while he chowed down.  First time in a couple of months that it looked like he was enjoying eating something.
