I feel terrible, have a sore throat and want to sleep lots. I shall not be at work tomorrow.

inulro and lastaii just visited, bringing a lovely new second-hand Terenziani ratty skyscraper for the boys. We can see them play in mid-air! redcountess has made a hammock for them from a face cloth. Purple, to match the carpet.

redcountess's joints have suddenly improved since she stopped drinking Nutrasweet on Friday. Although most people without phenylketonuria have no problem with aspartame - even those with lupus - enough have that we thought it might be worth a try. Rapid and interesting results so far; we'll see how this goes.

I channeled about 95% of my soda-drinking energies into the fruited-tea obsession. (I still allow myself some about once a week, because otherwise I'll go into dieter's "forbidden food" mindset, which is just icky.) Killed off headaches and a fair chunk of the remaining mood issues, along with getting some vitamins back into the diet; plus, is arguably cheaper in the long term.

Splenda is easy to get used to and lacking in the icky side effects. One of these years, I'll get together a posse to import Splenda-based, non-aspartame soda in quantity.
