Wednesday

155.4.  Hands and feet swollen and uncomfortable.  Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• the usual supplements
  
• double quarter pounder with cheese, no bun
  
• side salad with ranch dressing (won't do that again; McDonald's salads suck)
  
• a vending package of skittles
  
• salad with blue cheese dressing and crumbles
  
• cheese soup with ham and veggies (probably flour, too)
  
• baked potato with sour cream, bacon, cheese
  
• two chocolate cherry almond clusters
  

Reasonably well balanced, not a lot of items on the list, but those skittles.  I am not entirely sure what prompted me to crave them, but it got me out of a chair and downstairs to get them.  I continue to be inflamed and swollen and cranky, but with no relief in sight.  

Brought strawberries to eat if the skittles craving strikes again today, and the plan is either a Five Guys or Jimmy John's stop for lunch.

The kitchen painting starts today.  We are at the beginning of the end.
