I love the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, but preparing to host it sucked me dry this year.

In the lead up to Thanksgiving I let my gluten-free diet slide. Boy was that a mistake. My stomach didn't hesitate to let me know. If I needed confirmation I'm on the right track, I got it.

I've been paying the price for all my hard work preparing for our holiday guests since we finished eating our meal. I spent Thursday night and all day yesterday in bed with a migraine and serious fatigue. I got some good sleep last night, but woke up again with a migraine this morning. I'm hunched down in the dark watching TV and spending time with my boys (C and Felix). We plan to watch lots of sports today and tonight. Hopefully I'll start feeling better eventually.
