I'm very sick at the moment, with a staph infection and a cold. I also had the flu this month, too. It's really weird because I'm rarely ever sick. It's causing havok in my life... I have had to defer an entire semester of college because I'm just too sick. I'm also breaking out in eczema all over my arms. I'm frantically moisturizing it and trying to calm it down, but it's very gradually getting worse. I hate it.

On a good note, I got a juicer and I'm drinking LOADS of vegetable juice... cucumber, tomato, celery, a bit of carrot... garlic, ginger, all kinds of herbs... it's great. I'm also eating pretty high protein (tempeh & other soy products, free range eggs etc). I'm eating a lot of whole vegetables too, not just juice. Also having more fruit than usual, but avoiding fruit JUICE because of the sugar. If I have fruit juice, I also put celery and cucumber in.

Also, I'd just like to share my support with fellow animal lovers on this site. Whether you're pescetarian, vegetarian or vegan... I admire you all for your compassion. Please try and ignore trolls who enter into the vegetarian forum and want to prove that animals don't have feelings and other ridiculous statements. Please don't forget that you're not alone, my darlings!

"We need a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far beneath ourselves. Though in a world older and more complex than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained. Living by voices we shall never hear."
