Small Good Things

1. I seem to be out of the major funk. I think it's highly possible that this improvement is nothing more than the temporary chemical shift of my body being overtaken by E2 (everything's better on estrogen!), but it's a gift not to be in the bad place nonetheless. We'll see how long it lasts.
2. Acupuncturist #2 gave me the name of a tea, which I'd tried at her office, which is wonderful. It's got rose petals in it, and is super calming. (Unfortunately it also has chamomile in it, which I am, I believe, desperately allergic to, so I suspect that the calming effects are counterbalanced by the histamine effects, but still probably a good thing once a day.)
3. The intractable headache seems to be gone. I'm sure my liver is thankful to have a day I only took tylenol.
4. My mother's here and took LG for the day, which enabled me to go grocery shopping to buy tea and other low-inflammatory foods and also make a dent in the ever growing stack of student papers. I've done 50, I think, since Wednesday and have about 15 to go.
5. To the best of my knowledge, I have not yet ovulated. Which I was worried about given my minimalist approach to luteal estrace, coupled with all this post-acupuncture ovarian popping. I've got follicles, people. How many I won't venture to guess, but there's something going on in there. Holy crap, am I estrogeny right now.
