Life has been weird lately. I’m still taking photos, most days. It seems like I’m never doing anything when my alarm goes off so I don’t take a photo because it’s always me in bed messing around on the computer. So when I finally get to updating it you’ll know why there are missing photos.

So many changes happening. Friends are moving away, getting married and having babies. Part of me feels like I’ve done nothing this summer and another part of me feels like I’m always doing something, but not like before. I rarely go out because I don’t have the money so I don’t feel social but I am being social… It’s odd.

I’m taking a class on Tuesday mornings and I’ve started having lunch on those days with a friend. We go to the grocery store and grab food and eat it at her workplace. We get in exercise, a healthy lunch and friend time. It’s really nice.

I’ve made friends with a group of Vegans lately and it’s been really nice, they don’t treat me like i’m the devil for being an omnivore and I can go to a potluck and eat everything, and enjoy it!! It’s the strangest feeling but in a good way. It still hasn’t dawned on me that I don’t have to ask what’s in it. It’s funny to me that I know that i’ll like 90% of all vegan potluck dishes where at a non vegan potluck i’d like about 10%… I’m not going vegan anytime soon though. I’ve said I will when I hit menopause though, with the heart disease history in the family doing all I can to prevent a heart attack will be good, and a vegan diet and exercise will help a LOT, that and once a woman hits menopause her chances of heart disease go from not very likely to as likely or worse than that of a mans. The estrogen protects us, so when it goes away BAM.

My tuesday lunch date is gluten intolerant so it’s fun finding things gluten free to eat. It’s not as hard as i thought. It’s eird how much gluten is in things. Same with Soy and Canola. You can really tell what our society is based on, where the government subsidies are. I wonder what would happen if they were scaled back or eradicated from big business and only found in small local places. I want to let myself start to envision those kinds of things. Let my mind wander and explore the crazy ideas i’ve got and one day turn them into that book i keep talking about, or the movie or just a discussion.
