I frequently gain bruises for no apparent reason. I'm a klutz. I've done this my entire life. But how the hell did I manage a bruise in the inside of my left leg, right next to my knee?
Excessive ammounts of soy appear to have a similar effect on me to excessive dairy, although my tolerance for soy is much higher than for dairy. I know this because, during the 1.5-2 weeks during which I was basically not sleeping, I was being really, really lazy. And apparently most of the lazy but at least vaguely healthy foods in the house are overwhelmingly soy (soy yogurt, soy protein drinks, cereal with soy in it and with soy milk on it). Not only that, but apparently it's really _hard_ to find food with no soy at all in it. As I found out once I decided that my body needed a break in order to recover from the excess.
Currently, my digestion is somewhat confused (the effect on me of excess soy), so I'm trying to not eat soy or dairy until it has had enough of a break. This has been interesting. On the plus side, I _do_ have reasonably healthy non-soy foods in my house. Oatmeal for breakfast. Some sort of pasta thing that I got for working group. Salads in the cafeteria downstairs. Still. It's weird having to pay so much attention.
I'm so glad I don't have any major food (I have minor ones, though - dairy and apparently soy will cause digestion issues if I have too much, and pineapple/kiwi juices give me canker sores) or drug allergies. Seriously!

ladytabitha has good things to say about the payoffs of behaviors, including negative ones.

Aug. 10th, 2004 10:49 pmI very much dislike having non-specific feelings of longing. Tends to go along with rather strong feelings of not particularly fitting anywhere, actually, and along with not knowing what the hell I want to do with my life (somehow, traveling a lot doesn't seem to be a viable occupation).
Meh. Ah, well. Sleep calls.
