Interspersed with some random photos. First photos of the year. Majority were taken at our two day break.

This year has begun on a good note. I mentioned a low FODMAP diet to my husband. Apparently it has the reputation of reducing 80% or more of people’s IBS flare ups. When he was on holiday, he ‘forced’ me to go on it. I was terrified because some of the foods are things my gastroenterologist had told me not to eat.
How could I not be stress-free?
But the pain, the insomnia, how often my poor children worry, and my love for him ( 
) prompted me to obey. And that, together with lots of prayer, no exam stress and aloe vera juice, has resulted in a few good weeks. My only complaint is the chronic backache. It’s marvellous to have energy to work. And I’ve promised myself that when I’m blessed financially, I’m going to search for a female chiropractor and get my back looked at. To wake up in pain just doesn’t cut it.
I love these wildflowers
Anyway, today’s post was to thank God for no IBS attacks! No fatigue, no abdominal pain, no depression etc. WONDERFUL!
Sitting across hubby on his first ride on the ‘new’ Rapid bus
He’s going…The two weeks when hubby was home were wonderful. It’s a bit sad that that’s the ‘longest’ holiday he has but it’s better than nothing! My dad worked for the government and December holidays were longer and that’s what I always grew up assuming would be the case. It was great having hubby around every day. Totally enjoyed every minute. And with him jetting off to Tunisia this weekend,(Most probably, they haven’t sent the ticket yet though they’ve booked him for the entire week) I appreciate the ‘work free’ time he had with us even more. Now if only we could convince him to bring me something back. No idea how he’d communicate at the shops though seeing as he’s not Arabic nor French-speaking!
I love my family!
