Comments: Symptoms of urinary infection are back. However, I feel this way when I've had aspartame and/or colas, and I've had some of those lately, so I'm not sure which it is. I will cease and desist with the aspartame/cola and take cranberry juice every day for a few days and see if this will clear up.

The reason for the juice is that I seem to have a urinary infection. That is also what made me go over on my carbs, because each 2 oz serving of juice contains 5 grams of carb.

I hosted a Nanowrimo write-in here last night. Only one person showed up, and she brought cookies, and didn’t take them with her when she left. I went bonkers.

Comments: I totally blew it after breakfast. I took a nap that ran to 4 or more hours. When I was awakened, I was starving, having missed lunch, but had to rush out to buy Halloween candy... You can probably figure out the rest of the story for yourself. I ate what I shouldn’t and didn’t record things. Did better the next day.
