I LOVE eggs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But sometimes eggs don’t love me.\u00a0 And sometimes they don’t love me with a vengeance!\u00a0 The rule of thumb for me is (1) how runny are these eggs? (scrambled hard, usually ok…\u00a0 anything else… ticky!)\u00a0 and (2) did I have enough carbs with the eggs to soak it all up plus (3) how much sugar have I recently had!\u00a0 Because that will just ADD to the reaction!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I didn’t always have this reaction\/allergy to eggs.\u00a0 But as I age its getting more and more “interesting”.\u00a0 Haha!\u00a0 Which I’ve found out is quite common.\u00a0 You’re body’s ability to shrug things off, like injuries, illness, hangovers & allergies declines as you get closer and closer to death. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Its’ like a minimum wage worker who’s been at the same old job FOREVER!\u00a0 And every so often I’m reminded I’m almost 2 years away from turning 50. (Which is kind of exciting because I look GOOD for 50!)\u00a0\u00a0 But it reminds me that I’ve probably only got 20-30 more years and I get a rush of “What have I accomplished!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My brain automatically starts a list of things I’ve done.\u00a0 My pessimists immediately start refuting the list as “accomplishments”.\u00a0 My optimist begins planning all the things I want to do in the future.\u00a0 Then my worry-ist frets over how I’m going to find the time (not to mention the money) to do all THAT!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All these wonderful thoughts, swirly around my head, while parked for a 5 minute stay on the toilet.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Because I had eggs!
