"Your Grace is Wasted in Your Face..."

Last night Forge died -- not as traumatic as it might have been, since he was my unfriendly hermit crab who refused to come out. But after I got off work this morning I did deep-clean the tank as a result, and got new substrate, and brought home a new friend for Mark. This one does lots of climbing and hanging upside down, so his name is McCoy, and when I have half a minute to myself again I'm going to try to settle down on the couch and socialise him to me a little. So far they seem to be getting along okay, though. Fingers crossed!

Fun new discovery of the day: for the last few months I've been getting kind of ill after I drink milk or eat dairy, with the last week being absolutely the worst, so I have come to the conclusion that I have developed a lactose intolerance. Which... pretty much sucks, since I pour more milk into myself than any sane person should. I guess in the interests of not killing myself this means switching over to water. SIGH.

And now, grocery shopping, after I take care of my chicks and poults. ♥ Keets are coming end of June! At least to-day is busy.

IIRC, they get you to drink milk, then measure the amount of hydrogen in your breath, which tells them how much of the lactose you've digested and how much is being digested by your friendly neighbourhood intestinal flora.

Ooooh. I will have to bring that up to my doctor. For now my plan is to avoid dairy for a week and see if I start feeling better; if I don't, then I will assume something else is the culprit.
