Shipped off the spit samples today! They should tell the tales on food antibodies, parasites and stress hormone levels. Oh, what fun it is to ride and spit along the way!

One interesting (to me, perhaps, and not to all) side effect from the whole process--I stopped all the supplements starting Tuesday night through this morning. I noticed yesterday that I had much less bladder frequency/urgency than I'd been having. I wondered if one of the supplements might be triggering my bladder. Today, I restarted the supplements except for the multi-vitamin, which has the heavy load of B vitamins, and guess what? Frequency/urgency was down today as well even though I drank liquids all day, including juices, which normally send me to the bathroom almost immediately.

I've been on heavy vitamin B does for over a year and have been having bladder issues the whole time... I've reported this to Rebecca and am awaiting her thoughts... But, it's a fairly dramatic shift seemingly caused by reducing my intake of the multi-vitamin... I also think that there's a link between my bladder urgencies and my levels of tremor (as recorded in my session with Laura on Monday last--an experience of the tremor source being linked to a bladder need)...

Food chain mysteries... Next week's fast should help give more insight since I'll be stopping the supplements while I fast...

Today was OK. I was still tired and had to nap/rest several times, but energetically I felt somewhat better today. Was a warm day and it's finally starting to cool some.

Was struck today by the overall level of noise--trucks, gardeners, fix-it people, traffic, people, animals, machinery, planes, sirens, horns and so much more... a long way from being a quiet place. Perhaps should start planning where I hope to move after this year goes by... someplace quiet, still and devoid of city life. Sounds nice!
