tired and gassy!

Ever since riding with the night investigators last Friday and being back on the schedule, even if for a day, I was on for years I've been tired! I've also started to wonder something...the investigator I was riding with is female, my age, attractive, intelligent, and happily independent and not looking for a relationship. It seems that a good portion of my female friends have happily gone this way as of late, and they are all either 3 years younger or older than me. Is this a trend? Is this our generation? It seems we are all career oriented, supporting ourselves, and perfectly happy doing so. I know that I may not currently live on my own but I'm excited at the prospect and really not rushing back into cleaning up after some man like I did for 6 years. I'm not bitter, very much the opposite, I'm happier than I have been in years! My tolerance for BS dropped down soooo low and even if I do have a bad date it's not the end of the world. I really am curious about this trend. Did we learn from the unhappy relationships of our parents? I personally know that my father once hit my mother so hard it busted her eardrum. Also I know The Nurse had an upbringing similar to that, not that I think that's the only reason but it could definitely be a contributing factor.

Update on clean eating: went to the grocery store this weekend, bought a week worth of stuff to make meals out of and it's all been really good. Tosca Reno was right about saying your energy level will rise and you'll feel better because I really do, despite being tired. I did make a huge mistake earlier and had a chocolate chip cookie or two and man, as soon as they hit my stomach I was down for the count! Also, not to be disgusting and this is an advanced apology to all my squeamish readers, but I have been soooooo gassy. Not little "oops I tooted" gassy, this is full on serious chemical warfare! I'm not the only one, mom's getting the same thing (no matter how much she blames it on the dog).
