Happy Tuesday & Election Day!
Good morning, friends. Big day today. Election Day. I hope each of you will exercise your right to vote. Craig and I both voted early, and man am I glad we did. It is shaping up to be one of “those” weeks.
You know what I mean right? One of those weeks where it seems like everything is happening at once. Somehow November seems to start that way for us every year, and it really doesn’t stop until December 26th. I look forward to that slow, schedule free, last week of the year!
We’re having some painting done this week. It is the last step in a year long repair to multiple rooms in our home. We bought this home in the summer of 2019 and pretty soon we realized that there was water damage around the door in our bedroom. Once we opened it up and realized the actual cause, it was a much bigger problem than we expected. Two large windows upstairs had improperly installed flashing. There was extensive damage in the walls in our bedroom, the kitchen, and in our girl’s bedroom. Studs and headers had to be replaced, roof panels had to be removed and decking repaired, two windows had to be removed and reset. Big stuff. Needless to say, I am definitely happy to finally be to the painting stage!
(Gray paint PSA for those looking for a good one: I used SW Light French Gray for the first time and I LOVE it! We also have the oh so popular SW Agreeable Gray in our home, along with SW Silver Satin. I’ve also used BM Gray Owl before. I’m definitely all heart eyes over the Light French Gray right now.)
Have you seen the 2021 Colors of the Year?
Are you all ready for Thanksgiving? Just 24 days to go. I am getting early “Black Friday” sale emails often. I took advantage of one today, and I thought I would share it with you all. When Craig was trying to understand what was going on with him (before his Crohn’s diagnosis), he did a food sensitivity test from a company called Everlywell. At that point we knew the issues he was having, and we knew our daughter had some food allergies. It seemed like a good step to take. Once he learned what his body was reacting to, he changed his diet and it truly changed his life. He’d been taking Zyrtec daily for nearly 15 years and was able to stop it. His runny nose, sore throat and ear infections from the congestion were gone. He also started losing weight rapidly. In total he’s lost about 60lbs.
The test measures your IgG response to certain foods and gives you a ranking of high, moderate, and normal reaction to them. This is different than an IgA food allergy test done on the skin. Our daughter’s food allergies were diagnosed with a skin test, and it is considered a true food allergy when there is an immediate response like you’d have with the skin scratch test. This IgG test is more of a long term immune response to inputs (i.e. someone who eats wheat and has joint pain a few days later). You can learn more about it here: Everywell Food Test. I just ordered one for myself. (Please, please, please don’t say I shouldn’t eat cheese.)
