Yesterday was one of the strangest days. I woke up feeling like complete shit. Then my dad decides to come stress me out about how I need to do something because my health is out of control, even though I was fully trying to explain how I'm trying what the dermatologist said. To that he just freaked out more, and I get it, it's scary to see me take what not only didn't work before, but only hurt. BUT it's scary enough for me on my way, I didn't need the extra worry nor stress. Then he decides he wants to take me another natural remedy doctor right then, so I had to cancel my plans. Though I do want to get better, I didn't want to go to another doctor, it was all just reminding me of last year how I went through several doctors, was out 6 weeks and still had no idea - so obviously, I didn't want to repeat any of that.
Plus, I didn't think I was giving the dermatologist's recommendations fair trail as I had only used her medication for 3 days.

Then there was a big, stupid, ridiculous fight with my sister - so stupid and ridiculous that it's not even worth writing about.

I am thankful for my mother however, as she absolutely warmed my heart when I came home and saw the table packed with gluten free pastas, breads & snacks. To explain why this meant so much, I'll have to remind you of that list of foods that the nutritionist told me to stay away from: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, all dairy products, sugars, and fried foods. Now, it was hard enough to give up those foods - especially for breakfast because without dairy my best options were basically toast and eggs.
But since, my appointment with the dermatologist Friday, that list increased and my life - especially my breakfast - became much more complicated! I remember waking up Saturday morning absolutely bewildered on what to make for breakfast. I was actually sad because I had just bought Eggo waffles and sour cream to spice things up instead of just toast and eggs and I was so excited to share some recipes here, but those plans were obviously crushed as I can't have wheat (so now toast either) and I can't have any thing with calcium (like the sour cream).
So, when I saw that table filled with gluten free snacks, I honestly teared up a bit because I was really glad to know that I had some one there for me - my mother not only sympathizes with my situation, but really wants to help.

Though my day started off terrible because of so many reasons, it took one small action from my caring mother to make it all better. Mothers are the greatest! <3
